ADR day

[DatFan]

Will be up at 5am local time to grab some highly sought after ADR's for Feb trip. With two little girls we are hoping for multiple character meals...CRT, BOG, 1900 PF, CM and either H&V or may try 50's PT. Will try to book F! Dining package with H&V, but currently the entire month of Feb is still grayed out on Disney calendar...not really sure why.
Any last minute tips, tricks or advice anyone would like to share? Thank you.

Ours was last Monday. I was able to easily get every res (incl every one you mentioned) I wanted for a group of 10. Book the most sought after res first, have a list. The further out BOG is in your trip, the better your chances are.
1. BOG
2. CRT

Are you over a holiday weekend?

BOG is not a character meal. It will still be the toughest to get. I agree, get that one first and then try for CRT. Chef Mickey's next.

Yes, try for BOG first and if you have it scheduled for later in the trip it will go better for you.
1. BOG
2. CRT
3. CM
4. 1900
5. HV

and dont stress it too much. I thought I was going to have a heart attack one time when the stupid website wasnt working for my +10. When I called right at opening, I was able to get every single reservation I had wanted no problem. And if not you have so much time for people to change their minds and open up spots for you.

No. Feb 7th-13th...departing Sat morn of Pres Day weekend. There are six of us in party and I was concerned this may keep us from snagging BOG or CRT, good to hear you had no trouble. Thanks for the insight!

Good advice. Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly.

Don't stress, you will be fine. I booked the dreaded November, ( thanksgiving week), and had no problems at all. We have 6 people and got BOG, CM, OHANA, GG, CRT, TH, CP, H &V. Defiantly helps to plan on doing BOG as late in the trip as possible to find openings. We've done it on the last day the past 2 years with many options for times, but couldn't find any openings toward the beginning of our trip.
