Thank goodness I am dining with Passporters in Dec

.....because the three ADR's I tried to get on Friday were a no-go. I was online right at 6:00 and nothing, I even tried calling at 7:00, but still nothing. I am trying to figure out were I am eating on my first day. I'm not sure if I like free dining except for the saving money part of course.

Are you talking about December 4th or 11th? I was able to change my ADR 3 times for the 4th. I was able to secure a firework cruise for that day and had originally planned to dine at Jiko. I changed for Artist Point and then decided on Kouzina. Good luck findind something. But what I really mean is don't stop trying. You'll get something that suits you eventually.

I'm sorry Lisa that you are having so much difficulty. Can you try some places that aren't so popular? Tell me where you were trying to get and maybe we can give you suggestions of substitutions.

Well I did manage to get some substitutes. Not exactly what I wanted but I get to experience somethings new. I am determined to keep a positive attitude about my trip, because this is my first solo trip and I am so excited to have a completly different experience than I have ever had before. Now that I have overbooked ADR's, I have to figure out which one to give up.

I had exactly the same problem for the 11th. OK, so Chef Mickeys and 'Ohana are popular, but for both to be completely at 91 days out (I was able to check them with my reservation) stunned me. I have alternatives and I will keep trying, but it is a shame.

I think the free dining is making it difficult to get ADR's in the popular restaurants. Hopefully you will be able to find something before you go.

Sorry you're having trouble!

The one I had the most trouble with was Sanaa on our 2nd day - had to move it up an hour and a half.

We've had some problems too--you're not alone in this one--free dining through December has made life a little miserable.
