Christmas Dinner-Availability

[TMB1203]

Hi!
We can make our ADR's for Christmas this Saturday.
I know that some people have been able to book Christmas using 90+10.
Has anybody tried making an ADR to find out that there is no availability?
If so, which restaurants are already booked?

I think I remember reading Chef Mickeys. Anyplace else?

I'm curious to hear as well....we'll be working on ours on Saturday as well

I would dare say that CRT is already booked..... or darn close to it.

I've just had a look, it's difficult to tell online. There's lots of availability at most of the Epcot restaurants apart from Le Cellier. I was able to book Le Cellier yesterday but not today. Most of the signature restaurants are not working properly when you try to book online for Xmas day and you'll have to call, i think that this is on purpose for some reason. I did manage to find a slot at 5.50pm on Xmas day for 3 people at California grill that is still free.

We were able to book dinner at CRT for 12/23, Victoria and Alberts for 12/24 and Jiko for 12/25.

the above poster is correct. WDW dining ressie maker won't let you look at some restraunts for Christmas Day. I've been trying since last Thursday to look up WCC online and it still won't let me. You HAVE to call...When I called last Thurs. WCC only had one ressie left for dinner and it was late...like 9:45 or 9:55 late. We ended up getting lunch, which was wide open.

I do think though that they don't release all tables for ressies on the 90+10. They hold some back for 90 days so don't stress about it! There's still a lot of availablility online for even Christmas Eve at popular restraunts (CRT was still there as of yesterday, so was LTT, Cali Grill, and Ohana) but I haven't looked today. I'd check for Christmas Day for you but Dis has many of them programmed to where you have to call anyway.

As of 4:00 central time on Thursday there is still availability (christmas day) in a lot of places. I ONLY CHECKED A FEW. IF IT ISN'T LISTED I PROBABLY DIDN'T LOOK! As listed as available:

Cindy's royal table
LTT
Tony's Town square
Crystal palace
Plaza restraunt
Cali Grill
chefs de france
tutto italia
teppan edo
akershus

it wouldn't let me check any of the character meals (1900 park, chef mickeys), WCC, or Le Cellier. Sorry. But the above list has a lot of the most desired ADR's (CRT, Akershus, Cali Grill) So don't stress! There's still a LOT out there to get. Probably the others too...just can't get them without calling!

Thanks all. I can't beleive how stressed I am about this. I NEVER get stressed about ADR's.

We are going back and forth about whether we want to try to get dinner in park or a resort. My worry is that if we book dinner at a park and the park is closed due to volume that we won't be able to get in. Not only would that be a bummer for us, but a bummer for somebody else that could have had that ADR. Getting to a park early isn't really an option either as we arrive on Christmas Day at 11:00 AM.

Part of me wants to just go with the flow and hit counter service at wherever we end up..the other part of me is compulsive and wants to plan.

Congrats to all of you who scored great places!

Get an ADR at Epcot. We spent Christmas Day there a few years back. The place was a ghost town (really!) all morning and didn't get busy until mid to late afternoon. By dinner hours it was quite crowded, but I doubt whether the park ever went to any closed status.


Good luck with your ADRs!
