Advice for scoring sold out ADRs?

[winklet]

Hi all,

What's the best way to find ADRs last minute?

I seem to remember reading here that there are apps that can help to find ADRs on sold out days. I've been searching the threads but keep coming up with posts about DLR app and ADR. Is there a third party app that scans for cancellations and can send an alert? Or is there another strategy for getting sold out ADR? We're going prez day long weekend so things will be busy...

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!

I use mouseseats.com, a website not an app. It usually gets us what we want but not always, especially for the most popular like Trader Sam’s and some Fantasmic Dinner Packages. There is a free option but is more successful if you pay a monthly subscription. You get the alert by email or text then you have to log in on the official Disney ADR site and make the reservation yourself. You must usually be very quick, many others are trying too. There is also ***********.com and mousewatcher.com. ********** works best for us. Apps include Stakeout and MouseWait but I have never tried them.

How many people are in your group and what restaurants are you trying to book?

I always had the best luck the day before or the week leading ip
And just checking often. I have never had luck with the third party services- by the time I got the alert it was gone.

There are four of us and we’re hoping for Lamplight Lounge, ideally for brunch on Feb 15th but flexible over course of weekend for whatever we can find…

The best luck we had at LL was getting there when the restaurant opened and asking CM if there was any availability. They take your phone number and send you a message when your table is ready. In the meantime, you can go on rides.

I use Mouse Dining. Works like a charm!

(I do the paid version, $9/month to receive both emails AND TEXTS)
