ADR's or Park reservations first

[irene6118]

I am taking a short 3 day trip to WDW with my daughter in late September. I'm not sure if I should at this point make park reservations or if I should wait until after I make my ADR's. I am hoping to get a couple of difficult ADR's that are in the parks so it would be nice to have more than 1 chance at them but I don't want to take a chance of the park reservations getting booked up. Also, we will be there Wed., Thurs. and Fri. Which park would you recommend for each day? We could probably skip AK. Thank you for your help.

I always make the park reservations as soon as I have the tickets. Once ADRs become available, I adjust as needed.

Will you have park hoppers?

Park reservations.

eksmama01, At this point I'm thinking just single day tickets.​

We have tickets long before the 60 days for ADRs, so its park reservations for us first. Once we have Park Reservations, then we can worry about ADRs are the 60 day mark. Without a park reservation, you might be able to get into the park for your ADR (still unlikely, but could happen).

If no park hoppers, it can be more difficult to balance hard to get ADRs with parks that may be closed to new reservations. In that case, you just have to weigh which is more important. MK and HS the bigger concerns.

On a positive note, most days were mostly or completely sold out for our last trip, but availability came open and we could still adjust.

We made our park reservations immediately when we booked and then planned our dining around that when we were able to book dining. Generally if I’m able to book something I do. You can always attempt to make changes if you get to booking dining and you realize something won’t work.
