So yes, this is normal. Never understood the point of the free Disney travel agents. I can book a hotel - that’s not the hard part.

My Disney-paid agent got us dining reservations I couldn’t get at the 60 day mark. She had some sort of alert system and booked them for us.

The "alert system" is available to free for everyone. Its not something special travel agents have.

Great. She watched it for me then booked what I wanted when I popped up.

Is this the "touring plans" dining finder?

There are at least 6 or 7 companies that have this feature. It’s just an algorithm.

There are several alerts out there. Also you can keep checking yourselves. Often times people will find a reservation days before (or even the day of). Travel Agents do not have access to anything "special" to magically find reservations.
