My ADR window opened today. Like every year, we travel to Walt Disney World during the week of Christmas (12/24-1/1).
I woke up at 5:45am and prepped my laptop. I know Stitch tends to show up a lot on Google Chrome, so I had Safari up and running. I didn't get California Grill on Christmas Day, but oh well.. I'll keep checking..
Booked Christmas Eve at Maria and Enzo's. Then it happened. I go back on the reservations page and the page keeps scrolling uncontrollably. I refresh—same thing. I open it in Chrome, login to my account (which, YES, is linked to my hotel reservation), and I can't make ADRs past 12/25.
I quit Safari and re-open. I finally get through and make my NYE reservations. Next up: Homecomin' on 12/27. Safari starts glitching again. Chrome won't allow me to make reservations past 12/26 now...
I finally get through to Homecomin' and every time I select a time it tells me "Sorry for the Paws..." and that my time is no longer available. I love puns... I love Disney... but holy those puns are far from cute when your family's vacation is on the line...
I had to spend the rest of the morning juggling between my phone and Safari. I'm still logged in on CHrome and it won't allow me to go past 12/26.
Disney is a multi-billion dollar corporation and a random mom-and-pop hotel in upstate New York has a better-functioning website. People drop thousands of dollars and wake up at the crack of dawn 180 days out; then again 60 days out... you'd think they could ensure that you get a solid user experience. I work in digital marketing. My rear end would be fired if this went down at my everyday job. So now I have to call at 7pm and hope I can get the rest of my ADRs. I'm currently checking through my emails to make sure the ones I made actually went through....
