I got on a 9:05. Government computer just can't get the time right.
I was looking for EP 50 (Cross Bay Lake) for May 17. The system kept defaulting me to May 16. I had to double and triple check that the system didn't reset me as I moved through each step. In the end, I got everything correct and my permit was issued.

I did indeed rock down to Electric Avenue, but I did not take it higher. I regret that.

TRICK! I found that if you, instead of filling in the calendar field, when it goes to the wrong day, scroll down to the individual date where it shows numbers of permits per day. Worked for me.

Yeah, just a couple of the many oddities to crawl through...
*Did not open until 9:05 am. No biggie, but made you think it was "deja vu all over again..."
*Picking a date on the small pop-up calendar consistently came back with a display of the date BEFORE. As stated, just scroll down to the bigger calendar with number of permits remaining. There, you can jump ahead or back by 10-day periods. (Why not two weeks? Why not all month? Why not immediately jump to May 1?)
*EPs are still not numbered or in number order or in alphabetical order. "Sites" listed by "Area" hardly is the most efficient way to make specific EPs easily found.
*Choosing your Permit Issue Station was a bit unclear until you realized that there was a blank cell in front of each name that would show a radio button to click and fill only after hovering the mouse over there...
*Allows you to go with a Group Size of one, but still charges for two.
*From the Shopping Cart screen on, none of the reservation summary screens contain confirmation of the Permit Issue Station you chose. Probably only a concern for us OCDers.

Same 9:05 issue. I got 2 of my 3 for the dates I wanted and shifted a day earlier for the last one. Glad I'm getting in earlier now though, as the 3 days after are all full now!

No issues here either (I wouldn't classify 9:05 or whatever it was as an issue). I got our groups Mudro permit for Sat of Memorial Day weekend in time. By the time I finished checking out I went back to recheck and they were all gone including the restricted. Whew!

That is absolutely insane! I was able to get the day use motor permits I wanted; waiting at 8:55 for the site to open at 9; like everyone else it went "live" at 9:05.
Went very smooth for me!
