Crystal Palace Breakfast
Boma Dinner
Hollywood & Vine Dinner w/Fantasmic
50s Prime Lunch
Tusker House Breakfast
Chef Mickey Lunch
Tepan Edo Lunch

BOG first, far and away. We've never had trouble getting anything else. (We've actually never had trouble getting BOG either, but we always book right on our 180th day when they open)

Ok sounds good

I agree.

You may want to do Boma next. That was the only other one on your list that I had trouble getting the time I wanted at 180 days out.

Thanks we have never been to Boma's

I would suggest to do your ADRs is the in order that you will be visiting them. ie. if you arrive Sunday do Sunday first, then Monday, then Tuesday, etc.

The reason for this is ADRs are open for your whole trip as soon as your arrival day hits 180 days out. That means someone who started their vacation a week before you has had access to book ADRs for your first day for awhile, but it's less likely that people have had access to the days at the end of your trip unless they are staying 2 weeks or you are only staying 2-3 days.

So there should be more options available for the later dates. A good way to use this to your advantage is to plan that BOG Dinner towards the end of your trip and fewer people will have had access to those dates.

Yes most def BOG dinner 1st! Doesn't sound like it, but if interested in RoL @ all, I'd book your TH breakfast 2nd & make it a RoL package. Then the HV Fantasmic package for more time slot availability. Packages book quickly. Then Boma for more time availability. You should have no problems with plenty of availability on 180 for the rest.

I don't know that this is that big of a deal at the moment? Certainly probably more important than some random restaurant, but when we booked our ADRs at 180 days we booked just a regular TH dinner. A few days later my wife discovered the RoL packages and messed around with it for a day or two and we didn't have any trouble getting a time. Granted that was still all within the first week or so of having access to ADRs, but it wasn't like it was gone within 2 hours of being able to book them.

That makes sense. I knew I would get help here

Perhaps over cautious (lol, but Disney kinda forces that mentality when we're booking dining reservations 6 months in advance ha!- where else in the "real world" do people do that ). But, I can attest to booking a RoL package for a certain time, then wanting to change that time a day later & it was all booked up. Course it was after my 180 it became available bc it's for 6/4. Perhaps the hype is dying down now. I still think the packages book quickly & between RoL & Fantasmic; RoL's the hottest bc new. I like being "picky" on time slots & eating when we want-vs obscure times just to get the ADR lol

You know I think I read your thread. Sounded like some others were having the same issue. Hopefully they get it fixed or there will be a lot of checking back. Thanks for the info.
