Do I Really Need To Get Up At 4am???

[GOOFY4DONALD]

Tomorrow is my 90 day window . As excited as I am I am dreading the though of having to get up at 4am (I'm in Mountain time). If I must I will. Here is a list of my choices. I realy want them so if any of them are very hard to get into please let me know. Also can anyone tell me about their experiences with their ADR's that have booked in the last couple of days?

The trip is Sat Dec 5- Sat Dec 12....

Sat...'Ohana dinner (we arrive at MCO at 3:55 so I was planning anytime after 8pm)

Sun..Crystal Palace breakfast...earlier the better
Sun..1900 P.F. dinner anytime is fine

Monday...nothing

Tuesday...'Ohana Breakfast earlier the better

Wednesday..Tusker House...dinner
Thursday...Akershaus...lunch...anytime
Friday..WCC dinner anytime

Thanks so much for looking over my list.

you have some popular choices that the early times might go quickly. i plan to at least lay back down after my online experience next week. LOL!!

 

[beyondblessed]

We will be at Disney the same time as you (I'll think of you tomorrow at the crack of dawn)!!! Are you staying at Poly? I noticed you wanted a couple reservations there. We will be there 12/5-12/13.

Wishing you lots of pixie dust for tomorrow!!!

 

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

I would! I hope you get everything you want!

 

[WeLoveAriel0505]

Get up.........you'll be glad you did

 

[Kricketnp]

I'd say get up and do it, especially for Ohana. There is a chance you will get some of them if you do it later, but why risk it? Get up, do it and then go back to sleep!

Hello. We will be at the Poly. We should meet up to say hi. I have always wanted to run into a fellow diser.

 

[GOOFY4DONALD]

Thanks everyone. I will be up at 3:50 to get everything ready. If it was only a couple hours earlier I would just stay up.

 

[AmandaJayne]

it wont take you long to make on line ressies..you can always go back to bed!...Of course i said that too, but ended up staying on line looking up disneyworld stuff cuz i was So excited about my trip after i made the meal ressies!
Good luck..to get early morning hours can be difficult if you wait.

 

[southern_belle21]

I'm right there with ya!! Same dates and all! I'm getting up to make mine in the morning and I KNOW I've got some really tough ones! The only way I think I'll sleep tonight is to give it to God, and know that whatever the outcome, we'll be at our FAV place! Here is some for you! Hope you get what you want!

 

[MouseMomx2]

If you really want to eat at 'Ohana I'd have a backup day in mind...sometime later in your stay. The day you want has been open for reservations for 9 days so many of the times may be gone. You may even find that there is nothing at all for that day. Having a back-up day later in your stay will give you a better chance as those days have not been open as long.

Good luck!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I would DEFINITELY get up.

I made ADRs yesterday and went back to bed when I was finished.

With free dining, Christmas parties at MK, etc. etc. there are too many variables NOT to book as soon as that window opens. Especially if you feel strongly about those early breakfasts.

Good luck!

My 90 was Friday I called at 2 minutes till 7 florida time and was told they were closed dialed right back and was told i had 30 min wait , it was answered in 20 min and I was on the phone with wdw for 40 min I did get what I wanted but had to switch days and some times We go just about the same time Dec 3 till Dec 13

 

[pooh's_my_fave]

I slept in and didn't make mine until about 11 eastern time and did it all online and got everything I wanted. I even got a Crystal Palace breakfast on a Sunday morning! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was, and that I got good times too - Ohana, Boma, Sci-Fi, Le Cellier, etc. So, even if you aren't up that early, I don't think you'll miss out too much.

Good luck!

I don't think so. I made my reservations at 9 AM at my 90 day window and got everything I wanted (at the time) within 10 minutes of the time I wanted (didn't try for Le Cellier). Initially I made reservations for:

1900 Park Fare dinner, Ohana dinner, Akershus breakfast, Chefs de France dinner, Tusker House breakfast, and Liberty Tree Tavern.

Since then I've played with reservations numerous times and have snagged a ton of great places. Now I have:

Akershus dinner, Coral Reef lunch, Ohana dinner (same one), Tusker House breakfast (same one), 1900 Park Fare breakfast, Chef Mickey's breakfast, The Wave dinner, Boma dinner, 50s Prime Time lunch.

I have made and canceled a ton of other reservations. Even 2 months out, the only things I couldn't get were Teppan Edo at an acceptable time (I got 4:20 and have since canceled) and Tutto Italia at a good dinner time (but I found it for 12:55 at lunch).

Just checking in to see how you did this morning. It's so exciting - I want to start packing now! I had good luck - got everything I wanted except 1st choice Fantasmic night, but did get 2nd choice.

 

[Mousemom]

We live in Washington State and I got up at 3:55 AM to make my ADR's for our 9/26-10/4. I was on hold for 55 minutes before I got to talk to anyone but managed to get all my ADRs. Not all at the time I would have liked but I was happy to get what I wanted. LaCelliers, Ohanas, Kona Cafe, Whispering Canyon, Sci Fi. We can't wait to go. I would definately get up and make you call. Others who have waited, even a couple hours, did not get the ADRs they wanted.

 

[Inkmahm]

Was it worth getting up, OP?

 

[GOOFY4DONALD]

It was was worth it. I got everything I wanted except Crystal Palace on Sunday morning. So we are going to eat a quick bite a Captain Cook's and watch rope drop. We snagged a ressie for CP on Friday am instead. I am just wondering why many people on these boards are angry that they didn't get what they wanted. Many of them that said they didn't get in are the same ressies I had. I even got one for 'Ohana on our arrival day. Since it had been open for 9 days already I wasn't getting my hopes up but I looked it up about 4:15 am and I got one for 8:25pm. Here's my list:

Sat. Dec 5...'Ohana 8:25pm
Sun. Dec 6... 1900 PF 8:20pm
Mon. Dec 7...nothing...snacking around Epcot
Tues. Dec 8...'Ohana breakfast 7:35am
Tues Dec 8...T-Rex 9pm
Wed Dec 9...Tusker House 6pm
Thurs Dec 10 Akershus 12:10pm
Friday Dec 11 Crystal Palace 8:10
Fri Dec 11 Whispering Canyon 8:10pm
Sat. Dec 12 Kona Cafe ...7:50

Thanks again everyone. I am pretty pleased.

I think that you were able to get a lot of your dinners because they are all on the late side.
We had a late dinner at Kona the day of our arrival and it was 9pm before we saw an entree. The youngest in our party was already asleep.....at the table!!!!!
The rest of our dinners were between 4-6pm. The most popular time for families trying to stay on similar schedule to home
I am happy that you were able to get what you wanted!!
