Added and updated! I didnt add in the BOG hopefuls for my own sanity. It gets much easier to add than to change Please look over your listings to make sure I got them correct. Also, I believe there are 2 or 3 that gave me the date and restaurant but not the time. If you can get that to me I'll have it changed as soon as i can.

Looks great! Thanks for organizing this thread!

I completely forgot about this thread since I posted the first time. I figured I would come back and add in my ADRS,
Via Napoli August 15th 7pm
Sci Fi August 18th 12:55pm
Kona Cafe August 19th 7:30am

I also had a question I was hoping you all could answer for me
Could someone help me with the crowd calendars, the week we are there the crowds are at 8 and 7, but having never been to Disney I am having a hard time picturing what an 8 or 7 would feel like, so if anyone had a way to describe it in a way that a newbie like me could understand!

DisMom1981! We are also from CT. I noticed on the list that we are heading back home on the same day. Are you flying in/out of Bradley? Maybe we will run into one another!

Great work on the lists Seneca! We only have one ADR for now. Hope to add more if we they offer FD for our dates. So you can add us to the list please.

Here is a good link for you. If you look under "What Do The Crowd Levels Feel Like In The Park?", you can click on each park and it will give you estimated ride times for every ride at each different crowd level. Don't let it scare you though! Remember you can always use fastpass for the big rides with long wait times, and if you can get to the parks early at rope drop you'll have no problems fitting in all the rides at even 7 or 8 crowd levels.

[kbender295]

Hi there, I am so excited and can't wait for August! I think the planning is so much fun. A little about us - I'm traveling w my two daughters, ages 14 and 6. We will be driving from CT making several stops along the away. My husband will be flying to meet us and flying back. Yes, i am nuts. I work in a school and have summers off - hubby has little time off. We will be staying at the villas at WL (renting points from my sister) 8/13 to 8/20. So excited. Made a few ADR's, just planning on winging it the rest of the time. So EXCITED!! Others driving too?

 

[SenecaWolf]

I made two time changes to mine. 8/21 CM went from 7:10pm to 5:10pm and 8/22 Cape May went from 8:40am to 8:00 am.

And unless I can change times for LC and BOG(ha!) I think I'm set!

Thanks!!

Everyone is quite welcome! I enjoy doing this as it gives me something to do while waiting for August

Everyone who has currently posted is updated/added. Keep em coming folks! I love seeing the lists grow!!

 

[akayf]

We still don't know if we are going to be switching our nov trip to the last week of August. I'm worried that by the time we decide, I won't be able to get the ADRs we want. We are hoping for a pre-opening breakfast at Crystal Palace, breakfast at Chef Mickey's, dinner at Garden Grill, and dinner at Ohana. Plus we are still deciding on a 5th. I would love BOG but I know that's close to impossible. Part of me want to make the ADRs since more than likely, we will be switching. The school calendar is in dispute and I suspect there will be changes but i still doubt we're going to have that week in nov.

 

[momto3gr8boys]

Someone posted in the BOG thread that they were able to make an ADR for April this morning. This is the first I've heard of anything being available for BOG all week, so go check to see if you are still looking!

Hi! Also considering driving from CT but my LO's are only 4 and 2 so we are not sure it is such a good idea!
