For the first time in 18 years we are not going to DW. Last week I booked at the Contemporary for the end of October (a week that is blacked out for the free dining btw). Today I went on to make dining reservations and to my surprise there is no availability, literally. NO Royal Table, No Tony's, No Sci Fi Diner, No Chef Mickeys, etc, etc. The only availability were random places at 3:00 in the afternoon, I have never experienced this, ever. Dining at Disney is big deal for us, so are opting to spend our money at the beach. I did call and they told me that just the way it is now. Very disappointing,
