ADR unavailability = busy park day?

I was trying to make a Garden Grill PPO ADR for our Epcot day, but there is no availability until 9:30 a.m. or so. On all days on either side there are ADRs available for between 8-8:15 a.m. I'm wondering if the fact that the PPO ADRs for Garden Grill booked up so quickly might mean it'll be a busy park day at Epcot. What do you think of this theory?

For reference, I had zero difficulty getting a PPO BOG reservation, Liberty Tree Tavern prime lunchtime reservation, or Beaches and Cream dinner reservations. I know crowd calendars generally aren't worth the paper they are written on these days, but Touring Plans has Epcot as a 5 day (when all other parks are at 6).

Could just be a fluke or maybe really busy that day. Just never know. Keep watching as ADRs usually open up. What is the date you're looking at Epcot?

Not necessary. If you going during Free Dining dates, it may be hard to find ADRs but the parks may still be relatively low on crowds.

Mon. 3/5. It's not the end of the world if we don't get it. And I've heard people have luck with the reservations finders so I'll look into that. I was just wondering if I should think about doing Epcot a different day.

I don't think it's free dining then but could be?

I was expecting BOG to be the tricky ADR so was surprised when GG was so booked up!
