I just have to share with this community because you'll appreciate how I feel.
With free dining in place, I had a great deal of stress about getting reservations locked down. And my family has high expectations for my trip-planning responsibilities. I hit my 180-day mark on Sunday, set a 5am alarm, and went to the ADR site.
Arrival day, going to MK for MVMCP - the only availability was two VERY early dinner time slots at Liberty Tree and Tony's Town Square. Oh well, we can do QS that day and spend more time at the party. Still, a little concerning.
Really want to see Illuminations from La Hacienda... 7:30 on our second night? Yes, please!
We love Ohana, better check a few days later.... 5:00 on the last night? Perfect.
Chef Mickey would be really fun on departure day... 7:00am will work!
Jungle Cruise restaurant looks to be fully booked, no surprise there.
How about dinner at Liberty Tree one of the nights, with Thanksgiving coming up? 6:05, book it!
And finally, how about lunches at Sci-Fi and Be Our Guest? Pretty sure I know which days we'll be at those parks... Done and done!
When all was said and done, I got everything I wanted and a couple of things I hadn't planned on. We'll have to schedule our touring plans accordingly, and will need to exercise some restraint so we don't gain 50 pounds, but I couldn't be happier with my ADRs.
Thanks for letting me share!
