5/5Updating my review.
I am upgrading my review from one start a five stars because this is simply a great app. No one asked me to do so, I simply cannot justify a bad review based only a billing disagreement. You will see that many others have posted low or negative reviews because of a billing change from one time or lifetime purchase to monthly subscription. I understand business is business but it would be nice to have some of us grandfathered in who did take it vantage and make the decision based under that pretense. Having said that, This is a great app loaded with features that are worth a monthly subscription. My experience: I downloaded the app to get a reservation for Be Our Guest Valentine’s Day February 14, 2022. Within days not only did I get the reservation but I had the perfect time we were hoping for. We also booked dining for the following days in other coveted locations including the most sought after in my household “Space 220” & Cinderellas royal Table. I will continue to use the app and promote it to all my fellow Disney lifers. We are Disney adults that go multiple times a year, my children go, and we take our grand children.. I thank the developers on this app, and wish great success. Those who are contemplating: all I can say is my experience has been successful. I hope I can keep my lifetime status …

5/5BEST Disney Reservation Notification Service!!
*Disneyland Experience* Pre- COVID reservations were not overly necessary at the Disneyland Resort except for the Blue Bayou restaurant. Otherwise, reservations for other restaurants were more-or-less just peace of mind that you didn’t have to wait very long for a table. NOW…the game has CHANGED. Now you can’t hardly step into a restaurant without a reservation. (As always, there are exceptions, but largely this is the case especially during busy times of the year). I have tried other popular Disney reservation notification services and they have been buggy. I was using another service while simultaneously using Stakeout and Stakeout was presenting me with options while the other service sat quietly with zero notifications of available reservations. Plus Stakeout offers a 1 time purchase whereas other service only offer a monthly subscription to maximize their service. Stakeout is the clear winner and I will forever be loyal to their services. THANK YOU!

5/5Got Lightsabers, Droids, & Cinderella’s Castle
Stakeout helped me get every reservation I wanted for a trip to Disney during the busy Thanksgiving holiday. I went into my trip with no reservations, trying over and over to land something through the Disney app. Thanks to Stakeout I was able to get a full day at Star Wars in Hollywood Studios - Lightsabers for 3 people at Savi’s, Droids for 3 people at Droid Depot, and Oga’s Cantina for 4 people to end the day. On my day at Magic Kingdom I was able to land a lunch reservation for 4 people at Cinderella’s Castle (I also had an option for Beauty & the Beast that came up but chose Cinderella’s instead) and on my day at Epcot, I was able to get a lunch reservation for 4 at the new Space restaurant. I had every reservation I wanted a month before my trip. I kept the Stakeout app through my trip to see what else I could get and my phone was pinging the entire week before and day of. Couldn’t recommend this app enough! Worth every penny!

5/5The BEST app to monitor reservations
I purchased the $9/per month option just three days ago and added about 10 different stakeouts. It is so hard to get reservations at some of the more popular locations in Disneyland, even when you are exactly 60 days out. With this app I’ve been able to scoop up 4-5 reservations that were not available when I checked on the app. Worth every single penny!!! I will say some of the reservations do become unavailable even if you check pretty quick after getting notified of the opening but I’m sure it’s because a lot of people are also looking at similar reservations. Don’t get discouraged if that happens because the app continues to look until you book something. Super happy with this app and I plan to use this every time I go to Disney now!

5/5Just plain works. Saves so much time and worry
Trying to make reservations at WDW for some of the more popular restaurants can be a total headache if not impossible. This app makes it a breeze. I got it mostly for Space 220. It’s come up with lots of alerts. And pretty much everytime I checked within a few minutes the opening was still available. Paying for the premium membership was totally worth it. Gave me more “stakeouts” than I needed. Love that I could be selective within the hour and not just “lunch or dinner” I don’t want to know when there’s a 3 or 4 pm slot. Probably shouldn’t be leaving this review because if everyone finds out how easy this is, I’ll be back to the old struggle of finding reservations. Interface is great and easy to figure out. It just plain works.
