***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

I have my fingers and toes crossed. I have my doubts I will get BOG or Ohana on Dec 8 though.
Ohana has not been released yet... i have been watching. I could not book it and the CM told me that dinner had not even been loaded yet! so that works in your favor. I guess you could try to call and get another CM and see if they will do it.
 
I got on the computer instead of app and was able to. Nothing available though.

I did better when I booked 65 days out than I did this morning.

This is crazy.
Don't give up! I'm sure you'll be able to find something. I have a feeling a lot of things are still up in the air and a lot of cancellations will happen eventually. I could not find Akershus and anything for dinner at animal kingdom. I knew Akershus was difficult going in but I thought I would find dinner times for Tiffins or Tusker House easily...

Too much long distance for me, I think I'll wait and take my chances on Thursday. I have odd hours too though I have a few character meals planned. Keeping my fingers crossed...

GRRRRRRR we are doing a split stay and it won't let me get past my first 2 nights!! It won't let me book into my 2nd stay! Guess I'm going to have to call!
@Fall1 were you able to reserve through the phone for the rest of your stay? The CM I got was very firm in stating that I had to wait for the 180 days for my second reservation unfortunately...

I am looking for CP breakfast and HDDR at 6:15 and I hope neither of these will be issues - not PPO or anything, 9:30 seems to be a less popular time because it interferes with touring a bit.
 
what are you trying to book?
Bog lunch 12/4.
1900 PF breakfast 12/6 8am-ish (need to be finished by 9)
Chef Mickey's 12/5 7-7:30pm
Nothing available for those.

I got- whispering canyon, Minnie's holiday dine, and Ohana breakfast check out day. - none of these are at my 'preferred' times.

So frustrated.

did you sign up for the ADR finder thing? Yeah those are probably pretty tough to get, early in the week and the PPO times seem to fill very quickly. I am positive you will be able to get BoG lunch at some point though, my ex couldn't get it when he booked his february trip about 3 months out but by the time he went not only did he get it but there was plenty of choice in time.

chef mickey's might be another tough one BUT if they make it 2 credits for dinner like @nicynot posted above I bet you will get some openings. Keep the faith! We're here for support. Being totally serious, this planning is not for the faint of heart. You would think 6 months would be enough time to plan :-p

Sounds about ok... but these days, I'm not too sure. I saw someone post earlier that they got HDDR for 4pm only, cant remember who though. I am trying to get an earlier Garden Grill time... around 9am instead of 10:10 but nothing is popping up... Also trying for Tusker House/Tiffins for dinner on my first night. Because of the hours (closing at 5pm), nothing is popping up though. Thinking if I should book Boma instead but I'm not too keen on doing buffet without characters...? :)

Thanks. I didn't sign up for the ADR finder but I will. I got everything last time booking 65 days out..but I checked CONSTANTLY, plus we were there 9 nights with no parties so I had more flexibility.

I was just hoping to get all of this out of the way since it will be the one and only time that I book this far in advance.

Oh well. I'm going to call now and book the pirate adventure cruise.

What are you guys doing on the 6th? Would your son be interested in it? We could have a Bloody Mary while they're out finding treasures lol. I could use a Bloody Mary right now!
 
Update- BOG breakfast and lunch are available on 12/6, was going to switch my party day from the 6th to the 4th, but I called and the Pirate Adventure cruise does not leave from the GF on Sunday's. So, booked the pirate adventure for the 6th and just hoping to snag BOG eventually for the 4th.

Can I just skip the search for 1900 Park Fare? We've never done it, and I don't know if it's something I really need to worry about.
 
Is the disney site down for anyone? I was able to make some of my ADRs but now I keep getting a "page won't load" and it's not even the donald visual, the site just won't even come up! AGH!

As good as that sounds, my kiddo is not really into pirates. Also I think I'd feel too guilty, this is our vacation where I put my phone away and just pay attention to him. I'm not sure how I am going to handle the cruise, lol. That is actually our down day. also just got some potentially bad news from the BF, super stressed now :( can't even focus.

yes. it does not appeal to me. I am a designer (I do kitchen design but have degree in architecture) and anything with mauve and pickled wood gives me the major twitches. I steer clear of places like that. GF cafe too :) in fact the whole GF is not really my cup of tea. and it's ALL ABOUT ME lol. But I'd drink there!

Lol. That explains it! I generally prefer places that look nicer too but I don't really have an eye for design.

Hope everything is ok with your boyfriend...

I was initially thinking about 1900 Park Fare but am leaning towards WCC as a back up for Ohana and BOG instead... The food doesn't interest me too much.
 
Okay, I'm all kinds of confused. I thought all the ADR finders were shut down? Is there one available?
I got up at 4:30 my time last Tuesday for our trip, and only got 1 reservation I wanted. ONE! I do not remember it being so difficult! I had 3 devices going. But for some reason, it wouldn't even let me click on my dates for 4 minutes after reservation time opened. Do you think all my restaurants got taken in 4 minutes? Is there a board for people that post what they're going to cancel and switching ADR's and all that? Our dates are Nov 27 - Dec 2

Your dates are right at free dining and it may be the cause? I'm guessing of course. Seems like Disney is holding back some tables too. Go to Dining Reservations and the cancellation board is there :) good luck in finding what you want! I'm going on Dec 3-12 and could only book for the first part of my stay. I did not get a few things but got most of what I wanted...

EDIT: regarding the reservation finder, go to touring plans, it's free

How do you know Ohana hadn't been released for your dates? The CM just offered that information?
