budbeerlady: I noticed your dates are similar to ours. Am I right to asssume by looking at your info that you can make ADR's at the 180-day point of the first day of your trip? (Example: your ADR for Oct 13th is 180 days out, with the others being over 180 days out) I had always assumed that I had to wait until I within 180 days for all the ADR's I was attempting to book? Any clarification is appreciated.

Congrats-it feels great,doesn't it?!
I just got off the phone and got all my ADR's too, including a 8:15a CRT breakfast for Oct 13th ;this is the first time I have been sucessful getting a CRT reservation,I can't wait to suprise my DD5. We will be there Oct 9th thru Oct 14th. I also have one more wish:I hope MNSSHP will be held on 10/11 because I got a LTT dinner reservation that night too.
And I want to send some pixie dust ,to everyone waiting to make their reservations.

We are stayin at Pop. so we can do the 180 plus 10. This saves calling every day for each day you want to stay. So if you are staying onsite call today and make them all for the length of your trip.

I am very excited, we usually go in mid december and it takes some figgeling to get everything I want and often its late dinner times.

We got all the ADRS we wanted also:
October 10- Chef Mickey
October 11- Kona Cafe
October 12- Le Cellier
October 13- Jiko
October 14- Cape May Cafe & Artist Point
October 15- Cali Grill
October 16- Coral Reef

but I was disappointed that I couldn't request for window seats, especially at Cali Grill, because this is for our honeymoon and I woke up at 6 AM to call to make sure I got a good window seat and the girl told me I have to wait till I get to the restaurant.....

[schmoopypoo]

we will be at pop at that exact same time (oct 13-20)

i just made all my ADR's today too...we'll be at coral reef on the same day too (oct 15) I was so happy that I got all my choices and times

 

[Lizzy Lemon]

I was on the phone today also. We're in the UK so it was lunchtime for me when I phoned. Got all my first 10 days sorted with what I wanted. Got to ring back tomorrow hopefully to get in Liberty Tree Tavern for MNSSHP night.

I will tell Dh all the fun disboard people are staying at POP!!!! He is a bit aprehensive about staying there, he was spoiled at AKL!

I was just so excited and suprised, we are eating at 5:30 for all the other ADRS. The last two trips in "quiet" december we were lucky if we got 7pm ADRs. I hope its really quiet in October.

 

[emilyclaire]

Thanks, coolmickey, for the pixie dust! I am anxiously awaiting my 5:45 wake up tomorrow. I need Le Cellier, Wolfgang Puck's, Teppanyaki, LTT, Boma, and Fantasmic at MM's. I can't believe how nervous I am today! It will be SUCH a relief to be on here with (hopefully) happy dance posts tomorrow.

And to budbeerlady, DH and I are staying at POP too! Guess we're fun

Good Luck! On Wolfgang puck they told me to call back later (or shall I say closer) they were not on the 180+10 for the one in Down Town Disney. So I will try on my 180 day or in a few weeks if need be.

Yeah, that's right...all the FUN ones We loved Pop the last time we were there which was during a "slow" time. Have a ball and maybe we'll see you there

When making your ADR'S...do you tell them in date order or by "what's more important" to you.
Example: We want to eat at Cinderella's Royal Table night 3..do I do that reservation first (most important to us) or third?
I never thought eating dinner would be such an event.

 

[jenwimett]

Just book my ADR's over the weekend when I found out that I was well inside my 180 day mark.

Sept. 14 Capt. Jacks
Sept. 15 Le Cellier
Sept. 16 Coral Reef
Sept. 17 50's Prime Time
Sept. 18 Cape May Cafe
Sept. 19 Breakfast at Boatwrights
Sept. 20 LTT
Sept. 21 Planet Hollywood (DH loves this place)

I never really thought about doing my most important first. You can try it, I just start with my arrival date and go up from there. At worst they get weird about it but I dont really think it would matter if you start with day 3 and then go backwards and forewards.

I just made mine today for my Oct. 14-26 trip, just 2 of us. I had no real problems, but getting LeCellier on Oct. 15 was a little hard. The CM said there was hardly any availability left, but did manage to get a 6:20 only after she told me nothing before 7:30, but then noticed the earlier time. I thought, wow, it's 181 days from that date. I only did the first 10 of my 12 night visit.

Since we are there for a long time that trip we tend to do a couple of doubles from week one to week two. We have also found that we like Coral Reef for lunch vs dinner.

10/14 Spoodles
10/15 LeCellier
10/16 Prime Time
10/17 Narcossess
10/18 Coral Reef/lunch
10/19 Cape may
10/20 Kona Cafe/dinner
10/21 Concourse
10/22 GF Cafe
10/23 LeCellier
10/24 Coral Reef/lunch
10/25 YSH
10/26 ??

I'm presently working on my April/May trip, but that one is pretty much wrapped up. Still tweaking my August trip too. We are also DDE cardholders so will pay OOP for Prime Time and Cape May.
