Our 180 day mark will be in late May for our stay over Thanksgiving.

Which of these should I book first...

ADR's
EMM (MK) - Are these released at 180+ days? Is this available to book online or only by phone?
Rhino Experience at AK - I pretty sure I have to call for this?

Just wondering if I should prioritize the ADR's or the EMM. I think I'll have to wait another hour for the phone lines to open in order to book the Rhino tour, right?

And just to confirm...ADR's at 6:00 a.m. and phone for tours at 7:00 a.m. EST?

Since I'll be waking up before 3:00 a.m. here in California, I want to have everything organized and know what I'm doing beforehand...since I'll be half asleep! Thanks!

ADR's first. Usually any special events like dessert parties and EMM are not released until a few months ahead. Have a look park plan - if you have in park ADR's then if you are not 100% sure which park you will be in you can book multiple ADR's just as long as they don't overlap -- they usually need to be at least 1 hour and 15 minutes apart. so for example you want to eat lunch at BOG but you also want to eat lunch at Tusker - because you don't know exactly what park you will be at you could book BOG for noon and then book tusker for 1:15 on the same day. Or book lunch in one park and dinner in another. It is really tough to know 6 months out what your final plans will look like. As they start releasing park hours/bookable events then you can cancel what you don't need. The negative is that you are holding up 2 reservations, but WDW has created this monster. So do be kind a release reservations once you know what your plans are.

I have done this and have typically been able to release reservations at least 4 months out so certainly plenty of time for others to snag the reservations i cancel.
