ADRs for Non-CP Meal Package?

[cybrkitn]

Our trip dates are 11/29-12/8 this year. We have decided that we are not interested in doing the Candlelight Processional. However, it seems that most of the restaurants in Epcot's WS are participating with the lunch and/or dinner package. I know that there will be some seating available for general seating. For those that have gone during CP and have not participated, how difficult was it to book your ADRs?

I guess I'm worried that we will be stuck with just CS instead of a TS. My mom and brother are coming this time and they haven't been to Disney in 19 years. I really would like them to experience some of the restaurants in the WS.

What meals and what time are you planning on booking?

If you are booking a dinner then you shouldn't have any problems booking around 6:00 as the reservations for the last CP is around 5:50.

Since you're within 180 days of your vacation, you could go to the dining res page and start making your reservations. I just did a couple of trial res for Dec 5 at Les Chef and Le Cellier and there was plenty of availability for regular reservations (not the CP dining package).

Because the CP Package does reduce the number of res available for non CP diners, the sooner you make your res, the more choices you will have.

We don't know yet as to which restuarants to do for dinner. DH and I will be going over our dining options towards the end of this week.

The last reservation for CP is at 5:50? That doesn't sound as bad and means we will still have a shot for our ADR's.

Do you know when they start the first reservation for CP? I'd like to go to R&C for lunch since that's when they have Bangers and Mash on the menu. We had to skip R&C last time we went and I told DH (teasingly) that he owes it to me next time.
