Anyone else having difficulty getting ADR's for Sept/Oct?

[kldmom2000]

I did all of my ADR's 180 days out but I always end up changing a few as the weeks go by.... I tried to make an ADR for dinner @ Le Cellier for 9/29 and the CM told me there was NOTHING available all evening!!! Wow! That's usually something to be expected at CRT!!! I'm sure it has everything to do with the free dining promo.... but still-wow!

I booked most places last month but i've had to make some changes and I've found it much harder this week to make bookings, I had to settle for 6.10pm at the California Grill and 8.20 for Coral Reef for the end of September!

Good luck with your reservations!

WOW~~~
Thats not good. I still have to make some of mine. I guess I should be getting a move on it~
When I booked my trip I said I know for sure that I wanted to go to the PRIMETIME CAFE and the time I wanted to go was booked solid, i had to go alot later then I wanted to go and I thought that was strange for Primetime... Good Luck w/ ur reso's... and thanks for the push on me getting ours done!

Remember this is a time when more people plan to go to WDW for MNSSHP.
The popular restaurant do get booked up faster now.

I made my ADR's about 2 weeks ago. I got Le Cellier for 7:10 on 9/28. She told me that we would be split up. Which didn't bother me because my kids are older. I'm glad now that I took what I could get. If I hadn't I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to eat their.

I'm glad now that I took what I could get. If I hadn't I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to eat there.

OOps sorry double post.

Because I listened to you guys advice I booked my ADR's two weeks ago and got every single one of my 20 TS ressies except for 2 at the exact time I wanted. The other two were only ten minutes early or late.

Thank you, thank you!

Yes, I've been having difficulty getting ressies at Chef Mickey's on 9/30. I changed the dates and have been able to get the ressies. They always ask are you on the DP? I wonder if that has something to do with not having ressies.

restaurant times are impacted because of free dining, MNSSHP activities, Food and Wine Festival: so lots of things going on that last week in Sept.

I was able to book everything I wanted three weeks ago, except for 1900Park Faire dinner, which was sold out for every night for the 20nights I am at WDW. Last Monday I called in and got one for Sept 21 @7:20pm.
I did get all the times I wanted but on days different than what I really wanted.

I would suggest that you keep calling back (1-800-828-0228 dining ext #3) and trying to get one you want.

I made my ADRs last week for the end of Sept beg of Oct and I too tried for Le Cellier on the 29th, the only time avail was 8:50... I took it, then today I realized we would miss Illuminations. So I called today on the off chance we could change it, yeah right they are 100% booked all day! I might call a couple more times and then when we are down there to try and change....

Wow, I'm glad I made our ADR already for Sept. 11-16th about a month ago. I'm thinking of changing one or two of them-has anyone had a problem boooking during the middle of Sept.? I guess I better decide and call tomorrow.

 

[3DisneyBuggs]

Oh great I just booked our trip and haven;t made one ADR. I haven't even planned our trip yet. I better get moving.

just a tip, i decided to change a couple of ours, with no problem btw, but i made sure to schedule new ones, & THEN cancel the old ones. always try back later if you don't get what you want the first time. as a lot of people make changes

Ooo... I am *so* glad I made my ADR's two weeks ago. I wasn't trying for Le Cellier on 9/29, but I needed Yachtsman Steakhouse that day. Whew!!!!!!

I hope you get the ADR's you need eventually. I do understand the stress and worry connected with the planning -- but just think. Even if you don't get Le Cellier, you're still going to be in WDW. That's a heckuva lot better than a whole bunch of other "vacation" spots, y'know?

I made my ADR's when I booked the trip on April 2nd. I called last week, for the third and last time, to make a couple of changes. The only problem I had was for 9/29, the date of MNSSHP. I couldn't get The Concorse Steakhouse at the time I wanted, so I booked Kona Cafe instead. Le Cellier and Boma I made when booking the trip, because of the popularity on Dis and didn't want to miss out. Like a previous poster said, keep checking for cancellations. I canceled the Boma ADR, for various reasons, when I called last week.
