That's not bad luck. That's just how it works.
Disney releases reservations at 6 AM Eastern, and the best tables at the most sought-after spots vanish to the people who are already awake, already watching, and already refreshing.
Most families aren't doing that. For Mother's Day 2026, the 60-day window opened and it was gone before most people even opened the app.
A script that checked every 90 seconds.
In April 2026, the founder's family wanted a Mother's Day brunch at the Cake Bake Shop at BoardWalk. The 60-day booking window opened. No availability. It had already been snapped up.
The normal path from there is: check back manually, hope for a cancellation, probably miss it. Instead, he wrote a script. It checked the Disney availability endpoint automatically. Not once an hour. Every 90 seconds.
Over the next 52 hours, it fired 2,395 checks. On a Friday afternoon at around 4:51 PM, a slot opened. The alert fired. He booked it on Disney's official site. That Mother's Day brunch happened.
"No human checks a booking page 2,395 times in 52 hours. That's what automation is for."
The actual record from that watch.
This is the real log, laid out like evidence. Restaurant, occasion, the count, the moment it surfaced, and the only number that really matters at the end.

The Cake Bake Shop is in a category of its own.
It's not just a restaurant. It's a specific aesthetic, a specific moment, the kind of thing you plan a trip around. And it has the cancellation pattern to match: slots do open back up, often at odd hours, often for just minutes before someone else grabs them.
The families who catch those cancellations aren't lucky. They're watching at the right time.
The same logic, running continuously, for your watches.
When availability appears for a restaurant or experience you're tracking, you get an alert. Then you go book it yourself on Disney's official site. That's the whole thing. No shortcuts. No tricks. Just a faster signal than checking manually.

A proof of concept that became a product.
This isn't a marketing story. The catch worked because the checks were frequent, the alert was immediate, and the booking was done on Disney's official site by a human with intent.
SpotSitter replicates that process for the restaurants and experiences you care about. If you're here because you're chasing a reservation that feels impossible, that's exactly why this was built.
