ADR Pixie Dust-- not even at WDW yet!

[rebelbuddhist]

I know several posters have expressed frustration with finding ADRs even at the 60 day + 10 mark. My experience has been the exact opposite. My 60 day + 10 mark was yesterday. Given all the posts, I was expecting not to get many of the ADRs that we wanted. Also, since Genie was starting, I figured the site would be swamped and more than likely crash. The morning started early. I was on-line making ADRs at 5:30 am CST and I just did so again right now. Got every ADR we wanted at or very near the time we wanted. Had to play the game of checking by meal time and if nothing was available, recheck using an exact hour in the middle of that mealtime and often found availability. Had to log out and back in (sometimes using a different browser); had to search by park sometimes and if nothing available, search by restaurant name and found availability. While there were glitches in the system, persistence and "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again" worked out very well for us. Best of luck to all those trying now and in the next few weeks getting what you want, when you want it!

The reason you are happy....YOUR ATTITUDE.
You did not give up or blame everyone /everything on others.
You found the solution. You also expected issues and were prepared with options.

So... what ADRs did you get?

So... what ADRs did you get?

CRT, Topolino's, Narcoossee, CP, Steakhouse71, 'Ohana, LeCellier, Boathouse, Tusker House, Yak & Yeti, Sci-Fi, H&V, Mama Melrose's were among the most tricky.

Great to hear it. Did the same exact thing -- different browsers and devices - and searched times and not meals slots. Nothing. WITH THAT SAID, we got everything we wanted other than Oga's and Topolino's thanks to other dining sites getting us the reservations. We had 5 choices for each park and didn't get any with our ADR window opening for the +6 days we will be there. We didn't give up and each one slowly appeared this past week. Best of luck to everyone and DON'T give up. There are other ways in searching that could help. Plus, a lot of people end up getting their choices the week of or even the day of. We got Royal Table the morning of our MK day in 2016. It's possible. May the force be with you.

We really want Topolino's since we are staying right there but that seems like the hardest one to get. Oga's too.
