I got most of my ADRs for 1/9-1/16 except most of the Epcot places

[C&OsMommy]

My wonderful travel agent got up this morning and did my ADRs...I got most of what I wanted

1/10: CRT lunch (12:00) and BBB (9:10am)
1/10: Biergarten dinner (5:45)
1/11: Le Cellier Dinner at 5:00
1/12: Wanted Teppen Edo (not open yet in system??)
1/13: Chef Mickey at 7:00am (might be a "little" early but I think the kids will be up)
1/14: Mama Melrose Fantasmic at 3:30 (really need to be that early??)
1/15: Wanted Marrakesh (not open yet in system??)

I wonder if the Epcot ones that she couldn't get were because they haven't renegotiated with Disney yet?? She didn't think either of them would be a problem to get later once it did open up. She also said that she is having the same issue with all of her other clients, so it isn't just a fluke.

Any suggestions on timing of the meals?

Hi, we got 3:45 for Mama Melrose/Fantasmic. I booked really early for that too. I wonder if they try to get all the Fantasmic package diners out of the way! I guess we'll have to just have a big snack that day, or dinner will be wasted.

I was thinking that we would save a snack point for that night and eat a late breakfast. Italian does seem to be more filling so hopefully it will tide everyone over.

I guess some people have said that it can take up to 2 hours to eat so they put them early to make sure you are at the show by 6pm.

Fantasmic Packages are ALL early. The latest you can get, I believe, is 5:30 (on earlier shows it might be 5:00 p.m.).

Some restaurants are late to sign up for the dining plan every year. Keep trying.

I think you're safer going to Mama Melrose early for the Fanstasmic Package. Last year, we had dinner at MM at 5, and it was so crowded that we didn't get seated until 5:30 and weren't done with dinner until 6:40. We would never have made it to Fantasmic at 7 at that rate. I'm going to book for February and am hoping for 4:30 p.m.
