ADR's and seperate tables

[goofyme]

things sure have changed since we last went to the world(2000)...ADR's much harder to come by....we have a party of 9 but could only make ressies at anywhere close(and i mean within 3 hours either way) unless i did seperate tables on all our reservations(sometimes 2 tables, sometimes 3)....we are 4 adults with 13,11,9,3 and 1 year old kids.. the CM said she would put us down as a Grand Gathering but no promises made..

have you been in this predicament before and how well did the restaurants attempt to get you together?

Our Grand Gathering last year also consisted of nine. Even though we were told there were no promises, we were seated all together at one large table everywhere we dined. (CM, WCC, CRT, Le Cellier & CP) Not sure if it is true or not, yet I feel that if you get one of the first ADRs, there is a better chance of being seated all together. Have a wonderful Grand Gathering!!
