ADR strike out

[MissDisney21]

Any tips on how to secure ADRs for 4 people at Chef Mickey’s breakfast, sci-fi drive in lunch, and Teppan Edo lunch?

I tried at our 60 day window and there was no availability for any meal times. I’ve been checking daily since but no luck.

You might try off times, like a 10:30 breakfast or a 2:30 lunch. The other tip that may be successful is to look the day before you want to go. People will cancel to avoid the no-show fee so some availability may open up the evening before.

Thank you. There were no times available at all on the days we were looking. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. I’ll definitely try the day before.

Re Teppan Edo, try making your ADR for 2 and then booking another 2 in the same half hour time slot. The seating there favours smaller parties and even solo diners. If interested, Oga's Cantina works the same. Easier to get an ADR for 1 or 2 then 4.

Use dining reservations websites. Good ¨Disney dining reservations¨ and look for the one with the noun for a rodent. All Touring Plans which now appears to be associated with the Dis has a free service.

Sometimes Sci-fi is easier to get for dinner. Also keep checking the Disney Dining Reservations subforum. There are monthly threads where people post when they’re going to cancel an ADR. Usually you can try to coordinate when they cancel so you might be able to pick it up.

And definitely check the day/ evening before. You might not get them all, but you might get some.

Lately I have found it easier to look up reservations same day or the day before you want. There were so many reservations we couldn’t find 60 days out but when we got to Disney I started checking the day before and same day I ended up getting everything we wanted. You have to be a little flexible with times but i didn’t get anything outside the normal lunch/dinner times.

The buying and selling of adr’s is causing chaos!!

DH and I scored a Sci-Fi ADR two days out, so don't wait until the day before to look - check as often as you can but maybe increase looking the week before.
