Booking Palo, etc

[Gecko1]

Requesting a bit of advice for a first timer...

I have the REAS Package which allows us to book at 105 days. I believe that will be July 26th for the November 8th cruise??? (anyone save that link that calculated the dates for you?)

Please correct me if needed... from what I have absorbed on these boards, at Midnight (Eastern) I should do the following in order:

- Book Palo brunch
- Book Palo Tea (if I book this for two, can someone else out of our DIS group be substituted in my place after we board?)
- Book Palo dinner
- Book CC early stingray (Kids)
- Book CC Parasailing
- Book Island excursions

What else fills quickly that I should reserve quickly if interested?

Wow, do I have to book each item individually? Is this even realistic?
I have read that if what you wanted was full at 105 days, try again at 90, then again at 75. Do they hold back some slots or are these openings caused by people changing their minds and releasing the slot back in to the system?

I would book tea first, then brunch, then dinner. Tea fills up the fastest.

for our cruise, Palo dinner didnt fill up until the 90 day mark. Brunch was full by then and the tea. (at 75 days nothing did open up)

If you dont get one, the best advice is to be in line first at 1pm at Rockin D bar to request something.

also make sure you are signed on at 12:00 am.

You can call DCl and they will tell you your day mark.

our 90 day mark for sept 27 was June 29th.

I'm not sure what link you're referring to, but here's the one I use for DCL bookings and ADR's at WDW:

Booking is up to your preference, but your plan looks good, anything that involves Dolphins books up quickly as well.

DCL does not release anything extra at 90 days or 75days, its just the 105 days get first pick of the availability, then 90 days second pick. None are held back online but a lot are held back for people getting on board early and that is far cheaper than REAS.

Just wondering, not that it will be my situation, is it really hard to book things 105 days out? I would think that there are so few people booking then that you would have your pick?

Just curious for info from those who have actually booked 105 days out at midnight.

I have read several posts where the brunch & tea were booked within the first hour of the 105 date. I don't know how common that is though.
