180 days out, got my ressie's

[parboy]

To start, I can't believe how easily I got my room reservation! Had a change of plans for next years trips and had to move up our scheduled Disney trip from next fall to the spring. We knew we wanted to stay at Poly DVC, but at 7 months out, I wasn't sure we could get it. A few emails and we secured points from a dvc member without any problems.

Now that that is taken care of, that left a couple weeks to plan out which dining options we wanted to try for. We have a couple favorites, so I knew we wanted Ohana, splitsville, and Rainforest. That left out a few spots for some new things to try.

So I set my alarm for 12am this morning to make the ressies. Get to the computer and load up WDW, get to the dining section and it won't let me select my dates of travel. Will only let me go to 2 days prior to my date. Hmmmmm..... Grab the phone and open the app and get to dining. Lets me select my group size and my date! Success! Oh no, wait......now it's giving me an error, please try again later message. Well hrmph! I guess it's a bust, so I just go back to bed. Get up at my normal 5:30, feed the dog, open app on phone and start over. This time it lets me go thru the whole process and make the ressie's!

I secure Ohana first and then go thru the rest of the list, and we have:
Day1: Dinner at Splitsville. We ate here last trip and really were surprised at how cool this place is and how good the food is! The loaded fries app, sushi rolls, and pizza were absolutely amazing!

Day2: Lunch at Beaches and Cream. Never tried this one. Dinner at Teppan Edo. Never tried this one.

Day3: Lunch at Rainforest on AK day. Eat here every year and still enjoy the food and atmosphere. Saw Phil Mickelson and his family here for lunch one day a few years ago. Dinner at Olivia's. Never tried this one.

Day4: Lunch at BOG! Never tried it, but can't wait to check it out. Dinner at OHANA! Last trip was our first time here and it became our favorite meal of the trip. I plan to eat all the bread pudding available!

So, managed to get all the ressies we wanted without any problems. This was a nice change from the struggle to get them on our last trip.

Glad to hear another positive Splitsville review - we are doing the DVC member night on out Thanksgiving trip.

Beaches and Cream is fun. Good burgers and ice cream - try the Kitchen Sink if you are adventurous!
Teppen Edo is good too - especially if you get an engaging chef. My girls still talk about the "onion volcano"

Olivia's is a hidden gem - try the conch fritters!

We liked BOG for lunch, not so much for dinner. Refill stations for drinks are a bonus!

Enjoy!
