DVC and Dining reservations online

Just wondering if anyone has used the online system for dining reservations? I have used it for a regular reservation but not with our DVC points. I tried to log on today using my reservation number on our reservation. The website didn't recongnize my number.
I'm concered because tomorrow is when we have to make our reservations and it's also when they are transitioning to the 180 day rule.

Any advice would be helpful!!!

The system still had some glitches when it first came out with regard to it not recognizing DVC reservations, but I thought they finally fixed that (which was important because DVC members were being excluded from taking advantage of the 90+10 utility available to all on-property resort guests).

Maybe there something going on due to the switch over from 90 days to 180 days on the ADRs? Technology is ornery.

If you can't get the system to recognize your reservation, I would call in -- just so you're not unable to book all those additional ADRs like everyone else.

Any other DVCers having issues?

When I made dining reservations 3 months ago it worked fine. I had to enter my reservation number and telephone number.

Since then I've heard occasional comments of things not working right. Most of it seemed to be directed at Bay Lake Tower stays. From what I read, it sounded like the system had been updated to require folks to select the resort and that BLT was not listed.

But I haven't heard any reports of guests at other resorts having difficulties.

Good luck, i guess many of us will see in the morning if the system is overtaxed. If so, i say lay back and try again in a couple days.

I've already been checking the online system this morning, amidst reports that it may go live earlier than 6am EST, but nothing so far. :

I know there were some problems in the early days with DVC booking reservation numbers and I had a few problems to begin with, but everything seems to have smoothed out recently. Maybe there were glitches yesterday, as they got the system ready for the change today?

The system doesn't recognize my DVC resv. number, but I just made ressies yesterday. Maybe it is not linking up in the system yet?

I used the online system this morning around 9am with my new conirnation number that I got for the Boardwalk Villas using my DVC points. It wasn't working last night but I think they were finally able to upgrade the system. Of course, it woldn't take my reservation for the Fantasmic package so I had to call WDW dining. Tha took about 20 minutes on hold.

Glad you were able to get everything sorted.
