ADR day!

[cincystamper]

I was super excited about today being my ADR day.....but I overslept! After all the horror stories I've been reading about people's issues with booking their 180+10, I was a nervous wreck. BUT...30 minutes later and I had 7 (of the 8) reservations we wanted - AT THE TIME WE WANTED! UNBELIEVABLE!!! (That includes a pre-opening CP breakfast and a BOG dinner - both on my birthday!)

So so so so so very excited!! (Not too worried about that 8th one - it was for Yak & Yeti so we'll play it by ear...maybe call the restaurant directly, maybe keep trying online, maybe do a walk-up, maybe just do the quick service version that day. No biggie!)

11/14/2015 - Hollywood & Vine Fantasmic! Package late lunch
11/15/2015 - 1900 Park Fare early dinner
11/16/2015 - Rose & Crown dinner (timed for IllumiNations)
11/17/2015 - Tony's Town Square dinner
11/19/2015 - Crystal Palace breakfast (pre-opening)
11/19/2015 - BOG dinner (before MVMCP)
11/20/2015 - Boma breakfast (before MDE to the airport)

Same here, I had no problems. I got BOG, CRT, crystal palace, garden grill, coral reef, chef mickey, H&V b- fast, ohana dinner, sci- fi, and tusker house lunch for thanksgiving. I had many times to choose from surprisingly. I was prepared for nothing to be available after what I read on here.

Same here! The posts about not getting any ADRs have had me nervous. Nice to hear that someone had good luck!

Was your BOG lunch or dinner? My ADR day was Sun for 11/20 and the Poly IPO said there were no dinner times available up until 11/24. If yours is a dinner what day did you get it for and what time? We want anywhere from 4-6. I know they will keep trying for us and I will look myself but just curious. Other than that we got just about everything else we wanted. Because we are doing a split stay my next set of ressies for 11/25-11/28 aren't until Thurs. I hate that they changed the policy where when doing a split stay you can't book for the entire trip that you can only do for the dates of the first hotel and have to wait until it hits 180 of the second hotel. I hope I can still get a Thanksgiving Bona dinner ressie.

I got both. I got a lunch for DD and her BF on the 27th at 12:00, and dinner for 6 at 7:50 on the 22end.

I also just looked for you and Boma has a ton of time in the 5,6& 7:00 hours on thanksgiving. You should be fine. Good luck.

I was able to get BOG for dinner the last evening of our trip and got everything else we wanted. I was able to move some things around as we had to adjust the schedule on certain days.
