Am I insane?

[cdnjason]

Today is 180 days before our trip to WDW. So, I set my alarm for 2:55am this morning to insure I was awake for 6am EST to book my ADRs.

Am I insane?

 

[tabrizia]

Yes, but all the best people are.

 

[HopperFan]

Yes
Hope you got perfection

 

[GrumpyDad1974]

No not insane... I missed out on some 5 months 3 weeks out and haven't seen any openings since... we leave in less than a week. It's worth it.

"You are insane!", shouts the person shut out of Chef Mickey's, while you and your family are being seated

OP: did you get what you wanted?

I just has this very conversation with my DH two days ago when I woke up at 3:50 am to make our ADR's. Trust me, you're in good company! Hope you got everything you wanted!

OP: did you get what you wanted?

Yes, for the record, we got every ADR we wanted at the times we wanted. So, it was worth it. I was just thinking, afterwards, about how nuts it is to get up in the middle of the night to book restaurant reservations for a trip 6 months from now.

I've done it multiple times and even did it at 2 a.m. when we lived in Alaska. Crazy in the moment, but worth it when you're there.

Think how well you will sleep for the next six months. Don't forget to set the alarm vacation morning. Been there

 

[pumba]

just remember ...that most of the people around here have done the same thing...Our granddaughter and her husband set the alarm so they could get the ones that they wanted..and they did...

Six months from today is getting into a busy season, so it made sense. If you were waking up in late July for reservations in Late January, I'd say "just do it when you wake up and you'll be fine". (Then again, I say that as someone who isn't due to try for BoG again for a couple more years. That and the Viki & Al's Chef's Table are the only ones that I'd consider tough to get in the slow times.)

I'm going in March and I can still get pretty park reservations now and get everything switched around except for be our guest and Ohana

 

[rwdavis2]

Honestly, IMHO, none of the restaurants are that good to go to that much trouble.

I'm on the West Coast too. It's rough. It's also ironic to me that staying up until 2 doesn't seem ridiculously late, but staying up until 3 or waking up then seems nuts. Glad you got what you wanted!
