BOG definitely first. Then Crystal Palace. Not sure about the rest?

 

[ChasingLeslie]

BOG and then CP...the others shouldn't be difficult to get. Maybe Sci Fi, LTT, Boma next.

 

[DisneyFansInNYC]

I agree with the PP.

BOG - 1st
then
Crystal Palace
Sci Fi
Beaches and Cream
then the rest.

You have great choices - we love Boma. Enjoy and I am sure you will get everything you want.

Sci Fi and Beaches and Cream have been filling up fast lately. I'd do BOG, CP, Sci Fi, Beaches, then the others.

 

[StirlingSilver83]

I would book BOG first then Crystal Palace followed by Beaches & Cream (only bc its on your first night and its a little tiny place so it might be difficult to get). After that the others shouldn't be hard to get.

We are going 1/21-1/30. I booked my ADRs at 180 days out. I got up and was online at 6am. The only ADR I wasn't able to get was Liberty Tree. There wasn't any availability for our entire week. Other than that one, I had no trouble at all. I wouldn't stress too much about which ADRs to book first, as long as you do it on your 180 day. I've gone back since then and made changes and was still able to get the changes I wanted.

Thank you, thank you all! Do I need to have my credit card handy to reserve?

Yes. After you put your cc for the first ADR, save it (I think that's what I did since it shows up everytime I want to make new ADR) and it'll be faster as you do other ADRs. It takes too long if you don't save and have to type it in everytime.
You'll also need to put your e-mail and your contact telephone number.

oOo we are going in March...I hope we are able to get Liberty Tree, my kids love that place! I am fretting over CRT, BOG, and all my PPO ADRs but I wasn't even considering I might not be able to get into Liberty Tree Oh well if worse comes to worse I can just make an ADR for the Plaza and keep checking for Liberty Tree

 

[Alice777]

Interesting. We are going in November and Liberty Tree was one of the easiest ADR and I have switched many times and got ADR everytime.

Put your credit card info in now and save it to your MDE account, it will save you a few minutes. Also make sure that everyone in your party is in your friends and family list so you don't have to type everyone's name in (or if you use the app, it won't ask you)

 

[NRW2016]

Great idea! Just did that. Thanks!

Just looked and most of the reservations you are looking for have multiple times available for 1/27 so I'm thinking you shouldn't have any problem. I did not see Liberty Tree. We are going over thanksgiving and the quickest to go were BOG, 'Ohana, Akershus, SciFi and Beaches.

I read on another thread that people were having trouble getting LTT in the new year, not sure if that is the case anymore. I would do BOG first and then Crystal Palace then Sci Fi. Then I don't thnk it makes a difference.

Awesome!! I went to My Disney Experience, My Profile, then Payment Methods.

Another tip, though a bit on the neurotic side. I made a bookmark for each restaurant and put it on the bookmarks bar. I put them in order from left to right in order of difficulty. When the time rolled around, I just clicked on the first bookmark, made the reservation, then clicked on the second bookmark, then the third, all the way down until I was done . That way I didn't have to look around for the restaurant on the list. There is also a wish list on MDE (the little heart next to each restaurant), but I preferred the bookmark method.

Also, the first time I tried to make a reservation, the "+10" wasn't working. Signing out and logging back in fixed the problem. If you are staying on-site, you should notice that your dates are slightly grayed out on the calendar. If it's not, there's a problem somewhere.

Ultimately, it actually wasn't all necessary. Other than CRT, everything was easy to get and still available the next day. (I got CRT, BOG, Akershus, Chef Mickey's, etc. For 8 people).

If for whatever reason you can't get Boma, Jiko is REALLY good too. One of my favorite meals I've EVER had, not just on property.
