Besides BOG, hardest ADR?

[excited4dis]

I'm curious, besides BOG, which restaurants do you find it hardest to get ADRs for?

We are going for 10 days August 2018. Although not set in stone, I have BOG, Crystal Palace, Chef Mickey's, Cape May Cafe, 1900, WCC, Fantasmic Mama Melrose, Sci-Fi, T-Rex, and Via Napoli on our list. Via Napoli we will be doing OOP.

Of the rest of your list, I've only had trouble with Chef Mickey. I have not done 1900, MM or TRex (although I think TRex, Rainforest and Y&Y might be easy with a Landry's Select card http://www.landrysselect.com/SelectClubFeatures.aspx)

I have never really had trouble at the 180 day mark. When the dates get closer and I start adjusting plans, I've had some trouble getting what I want. For example, we are going in late August and I can't seem to get Sci Fi for dinner for the 3 of us on the date we want. I'm sure it will pop up sooner or later. I know 'Ohana can be difficult to obtain.

Try the Travel Plans reservation finder. It's free. It just came through for me with a BOG lunch.

Of your list, we've done. BOG, Via Napoli, and TRex. We met family for TRex so not sure how hard it is to get an ADR. For BOG, we made ours about 10 days out from arrival date, and Via Napoli we made same day.

Of the restaurants on your list, BOG and Chef Mickey's will be the hardest to get. I would recommend calling TRex directly for your reservation as they will have more availability than the WDW system. Generally, O'hana is also very difficult to get if you have any interest in eating there.

I agree! I used it recently to get a reservation at Beaches and Cream for July 12. I got an alert and snagged a reservation within a week.

I have the request in there. Nothing yet.

Via Napoli is hit and miss. We couldn't find a thing there during our last trip and we really tried. The rest aren't usually too bad but you never know. I would keep trying.

'Ohana is very difficult if you decide to add that.

I don't think it's so much the restaurants, per se, but the time you'd like to eat at. There always seems to be some random availability but maybe not necessarily when you would want to dine. But of the restaurants you listed I would guess Chef Mickey's might be the most difficult but again, if you are willing to alter your "normal" meal times you'll probably find more choices.

For example, our first visit to WDW we wanted to eat at Cinderella's Royal Table but the only time available was 9:15pm-ish. Even though it was about 4 hours past our usual dinner time, we just ate some snacks in the park so we weren't ravenous and ended up having a great time at CRT! And the Wishes fireworks even went off while we were in the castle. Enjoy your trip! and your food!!

It does seem a little harder to get some of the ADR's like BOG, Ohana and Cinderellas Round Table. We just did ours about 6 weeks ago and only found one reservation for BOG dinner on our last day there. Ohana was there but later that morning there was nothing. Same with CRT. With the list you have BOG must be your first choice then Chef Mickey. After that go get the the ones you won't most.

I just realized that I typed the wrong word above. It is the Touring Plans reservation finder. That's what I get for trying to watch TV and reply at the same time.
