ADR's indicative of crowd levels?

We are going to wdw for the first time Nov. 27 through Dec 2-the week after Thanksgiving (Sunday through Friday).

I drug myself out of bed at 4:30 central time on Tuesday morning and put the toothpicks in my eyes to make my ADR's and did it with complete ease! I am still shuffling things around this evening with absolutely no issues.

Could this indicate that it will be a slowish week in the world?

They often don't seem to have much to do with one another, especially at times popular with DIS planners (like the week after Thanksgiving). I'm sort of hoping the same holds true for that week. We're still not sure those will be the dates we settle on but availability for Epcot restaurants at 7am 180 out was terrible this morning! No Coral Reef, Rose & Crown or Le Cellier at any lunch time at all for a party of 6 or 4 (thinking I'd split us 4/2 if need be), no Le Cellier for dinner at any time, and of course no earlier dinner times at all anywhere pending the CP package details.

I know the feeling of being 2 hours behind the ADR phone system and waking up at 5 am. You are very dedicated and so glad it worked out for you.

I find the phone is better than online. I remember being at the DLH in Paris last year and trying to get ADR for LeCellier for 6 months out online. There was nothing but when I called we got exactly what we wanted.

Hope you have a great trip.

I find that easy ADR's a short time from arrival are often indicative of lower crowd levels.

Difficult to get ADR's are not necessarily indicative of high crowd levels. Sometimes it's free dining, and sometimes it's inexplicable.
