ADR Booking Priorities

[DGsAtBLT]

I'm currently planning for a March 2018 trip and need some help with ADR booking. We're a party of 8 with small children, and would prefer to keep all our dinner ADRs around 5 pm (give or take) if we can help it and breakfasts as early as we can.

These are the meals we're planning on booking:
Breakfast - Kona, The Wave, Chef Mickeys
Lunch - Beaches and Cream, Be Our Guest
Dinner - Chef Mickeys, Biergarten, Hollywood and Vine (Fantasmic), Liberty Tree Tavern, Boma, 1900 Park Fare, Whispering Canyon, Crystal Palace, Tutto Italia, and Ohana.

Which should I concentrate on getting first when our window opens up? I'm thinking the breakfasts may be a priority just because we're a large party and we are picky about our time? And after that the dinners to go after first would be Chef Mickeys, Ohana, 1900, and H&V package, or am I totally off with that?

Given our lack of flexibility when it comes to times and our party size, which restaurants in your opinion should be solid plans that we plan around as we'll lose them if we have to change them once park info comes out? Particularly Boma, that one should be okay to move if we have to change our AK day because of FoP availability, right?

Thanks for reading

Another question, with less popular breakfast places like The Wave (or even Kona), would we have luck if we showed up right at opening or close to it with a party of 8 if we can't secure an ADR time that early?

in order I would go BOG, then Ohana, Chef Mickeys, 1900 Park Fare and Beaches and Cream, then the rest (although I dont have experience with Tutto Italia, Boma or Biergarten). Good luck! The Wave and Kona you shouldnt have any problems getting at 180 days out.

Totally agree with this, although there may be a slight change in order depending on when you want to do each of these. For example, if you want to do Ohana earlier in your visit but BOG later on, then I'd move Ohana up (i.e., it's harder to get ADR's early during your stay). Good luck!

I have Ohana on the last night specifically for that reason, thank you!
