So today was the first day of my 90+10 day window. I got up at 4:30am Central time and got all ready to make my first ADR. I had logged in, gotten my list of dining favorites, the whole bit. My sister really wanted to try Ohana on her first night, so I went in and tried to get Ohana for Oct. 7. No dice, but no problem, she'll take Kona as a backup. Got that. Then I tried to book Cindy's for Oct. 8 lunch. Could only get 2:15pm, added it to my cart. Our final harder to get ressie was Chef Mickey's for Oct. 11 around 9am for breakfast. Added that to my cart. Then had the brilliant thought that maybe I could switch Cindy's and Chef Mickey's and get better times. Ended up with 9:40am Chef Mickey's on the 8th and 12 noon Cindy's on the 11th. Woohoo! I removed the extra Cindy's on the 8th and CM on the 11th from my cart and checked out.
When I got the email, the only reservations I had were the Chef Mickey's and the Kona Cafe. For some reason Cindy's didn't book at all! Fortunately, I was checking the email confirmations when they showed up in my inbox, so I went back into the system, got the same Cindy's ressie and checked out. Then it happened again -- I made a ressie for Boma, 50's Prime Time, the San Angel Inn and Biergarten and the email confirmation only showed the Prime Time Cafe and San Angel Inn. The only reason I can think of for this happening is that some of those goofy keywords are hard to read and I may have typed them in wrong? A couple of times I tried to hit the try again button but nothing happened. What I finally ended up doing is going through the "modify search" button without changing anything and getting new keywords that way.
I did finally get everything I wanted (except for Ohana but I can keep trying for that one), but it sure took a while! Now I'm going back to bed, I couldn't sleep all night waiting for that 4:30 alarm bell
