Anyone? Anyone? La Hacienda ADRs

[crabbygal902]

Please forgive me if this has been asked and answered a million times, but...

does anyone know when the new TS in Mexico will be accepting ADRs? I just checked the online reservation tool on the Disney site and didn't see it.

Thanks!

Sorry, this does not answer your question but it is the best I can do. It is copied from the June 15th allears.net weekly update: RESTAURANT NEWS: The Disney Parks Blog has released updates on a number of eateries around the World:

-- The new restaurant in Epcot's Mexico pavilion, the 250-seat La Hacienda, will open daily for dinner ONLY at 4 p.m. (It was originally announced that the restaurant would serve both fast food at lunch and table service for dinner.) For starters, the menu will feature queso fundido (warm cheese with poblano pepper and chorizo); a taco trio with rib eye, roasted chicken and pork; and traditional black bean soup. Entrees will include a mixed grill for two with flank steak, chicken, chorizo and vegetables (a seafood version features grouper, shrimp and scallops); roasted shrimp in pepper garlic broth; flank steak with spring onions, refried beans and cactus leaves; and grilled red snapper with roasted corn and cactus leaves. Desserts will include chocolate churros, sweet tamales and fruit empanadas. The other Mexico restaurant on the promenade, La Cantina, will be open daily at 11 a.m. and will have 150 outdoor seats. The new La Cantina menu will offer chicken and beef tacos on fresh handmade corn tortillas, nachos, a cheese empanada, guacamole and chips and churros.

Thanks, Kathy!

I appreciate the info that you gave me.

The other piece of the puzzle that I can help with is that the reservations usually open up around the time Disney announces the opening date. Another thing they usually do is a soft opening for a week or so before that date, so if you happen to be in Epcot just before the official opening of one of the new restaurants, it wouldn't hurt to take a wander by and see if they can seat you.

Any idea what the Illuminations viewing will be like from La Hacienda? I would love to make a dinner ADR there and be able to watch Illuminations by dessert!

I'm eagerly awaiting news on this as well, so you're not alone. I have to call dining reservations in a week or two to change some of my ADRs, so if no one's got an answer by then, I'll definitely ask!

Here is some news on soft opening and hard opening dates http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/08/update-on-la-hacienda-de-san-angel-at-epcot/. Still nothing yet on when you can make an ADR.

I think I read in one of the Disney Parks blogs that they won't be taking ADR's till 10/15

The 15 Oct date is for the first day reservations are accepted and not when they actually open for them.

There has been no official word on the date when the restaurant or the reservations will open up, but I'm expected that in the next week or two. Chances are, it'll follow a similar pattern to Via Napoli's opening. That is, reservations opening up around the same time as soft-opening starts.

Several of us (ok, at least two of us ) are expecting the soft-opening around 16 Sept, but I'm sure (like I mentioned above) that official word will come down relatively soon.
