Calling TRex direct vs. booking online

[ekatiel]

Is there a difference between these two ADRs? I made one online first, but it's a cruddy time. I called direct, and they gave me a much better time, but they didn't give me an ADR #-- they just said it would be under my name (something about it being priority seating and not a reservation). Anyone know if there's a difference between the two? --Katie

There is no difference at all.

T-Rex only releases a tiny percentage of their ADRs to Disney Dining. It's always best to try to call T-Rex direct when you can't get the ADR or the time that you want through Disney.

No difference. We made ours directly too. When we got there, there was a huge line and I kept asking people in front of me if they had a ressie and they all said no. I went up to the podium and asked where we go if we have one and they immediately gave me a ticket and sent me to another line. We were about 20th in line for a table and at that point I was a bit angry figuring if we had ressies and all the other people didn't, why were we waiting. Within 5 minutes they called our name.

Have fun, the place is awesome!

Thank you, very good info. I keep looking online for an ADR and was perplexed at all the terrible times. I don't believe you could make an ADR via Disney for this restaurant the last time we went. I called the day before and had no problem getting a reservations. I was very perplexed as to why now it was so hard to get a reservation. I'm going to call!
