Our window opens in about a week. We've got our plans set, and here's what I'd like to go for - what are the ones most likely to give me difficulties, and I should try for first? It's been awhile since I booked character meals. . .

Easter Sunday, March 27 1:30 Sanaa
Monday, March 28 11:00 Be Our Guest (lunch)
Tuesday, March 29 5:45 Akershus
Wednesday, March 30 10:45 Tusker House
Thursday, March 31 11:15 50s Prime Time
Thursday, March 31 6:00 1900 Park Fare
Friday, April 1 10:00 Be Our Guest (breakfast)

All will be for 3 adults, 1 child.
 
We are booking soon too. I've been looking at current availability and it doesn't seem like anything is booked up. We are a party of 3 so I'm guessing the people that are having problems are large groups. I don't think we will have any problems but I would book BOG first. That seems to be the main one that gets booked up.
 
BOG and Akershus would be the first ones in my opinion. If you don't get what you want though, remember that you might be able to change/add closer to your travel date. I am amazed at how much opened up as we are now 2 months out. And our paid in full date is coming up so I expect even more options to open soon. I like having stuff done in advance instead of still being monkeying around this close to my trip, but I am finding that there are options if you don't get what you want right away. :)

(I just checked MDE for tomorrow, for example, and I see 50s prime time, Sanaa, 1900 park fare and tusker house as open)
 

Obviously as others have pointed out BOG and Akershus will be the tougher ones. Just note that a 10:45am Tusker House is very close to the lunch window..........if you want breakfast foods you may want to schedule earlier.......BTW I love the Tusker House breakfast............food is outstanding....and you get Mickey, Donald, and GOOFY!!!

Thanks, Doug. Actually planning on getting both breakfast and lunch at TH. I was there earlier this month, and lunch items didn't start getting put out until after 11 am. We know there's no guarantees - the adventure is half the fun!

We are trying that for the first time on our upcoming trip - hoping for a little breakfast/lunch overlap for options :)
 
I agree with others- go for BOG and Akershus first. I just made my ADRs a week ago (at 5am) for March 9-20 and was able to get everything wanted including BOG (lunch and dinner) and CRT. It looks like there are still quite a few openings. I'm assuming no free dining at that time of year helps with the availability.
