Tomorrow is my 1st ADR day! Since it's a split stay, my 2nd day will be Friday. Yay for 2 days this week having my alarm set for 5:30am lol

Here's my list of what I'm hoping to get, fingers crossed!

Sanaa lunch (arrival day) – Sat 1/29
Boma dinner – Mon 1/31
Oga’s – Tues 2/1
Space220 lunch – Wed 2/2 (Fri 2/4 as backup)
Boma breakfast (departure day) – Fri 2/4

I was able to make my ADR's this morning for the first 6 days of our trip. After our last trip and how difficult it was to make them I wasn't sure what to expect. Thankfully it was so easy this time. I got all the ADR's I tried for at the time I wanted them for. I even went back in after I made all of my planned reservations and checked to see if I could get Space 220 and I was able to get it! I wasn't even gonna try cause I thought it would be impossible. Now I just hope that I can get my last 4 days of ADR's as easily. BTW I had to split up the reservations because of our resort reservations being weird.

That's great you were able to get what you wanted so far. Hopefully the rest of the ADRs will be as easy too.

I've been looking on the boards for a thread, but couldn't really find my specific question. We are arriving on Thurs 2/17 (4 days before Pres Day). We aren't trying for ANY actual dining ADRs, but would REALLY like Oga's late in the evening. Does anyone what the current experience is like doing that for day 1 of your trip? That's the only afternoon we'll be in DHS, so it's kind of the only shot.

Hopefully someone will know. Since we aren't interested in Oga's I haven't been paying attention to the current ADR situations for it.

Keep us updated. Friday is my day and I still am not sure if I will make and keep any ADRs. I do have a small list of possibilities and will go from there. Maybe finalize a list by thursday if I have time. At least I have park reservations already so know what park we will be in for each day (not doing hoppers for the first time in forever) so I will try to keep ADRs in those specific parks or very close so we don't waste a lot of time traveling to and from ADRs since this is a shorter trip.

Best of luck to you! I was really surprised that it was so easy. I have to do day by day for the rest of the trip so I made one this morning and got what I wanted again.

We decided not to do park hoppers this time also. They didn't have them when we went in spring and to be honest we were fine with it even though we had always had them before. Plus with having to pay for Genie+ we just couldn't afford both.

I'm helping my friend plan a Feb trip as well. She picked Pres Day Weekend but I convinced her to go before that weekend. Is anything major going on she should be aware of 2/9 - 2/13?

I'm pretty sure there is a cheer competition during that time. the dance competition is the weekend before while I am there. I could be wrong though.

So, ADR day #1 was this morning! I started right at 6am. I tried 1st at 5:30am but it wasn't up yet, and I just didn't have the energy to keep checking every few min for 1/2 an hour, lol. First and only way I tried was on my laptop in an incognito window in Chrome.

So, for the 1st half of my trip I got everything I wanted! No technology glitches, and I was done by 6:10am. I wasn't really trying for anything crazy difficult, Oga's would have been the toughest out of these 3. I believe I did look for Oga's 1st and booked the 1:55p slot. Then, I booked the other 2. Then, I decided I wanted Oga's a little later so looked again and got the 3:30p slot.

1/29 (day 1) - Sanaa 12:15p
1/31 (day 3) - Boma 7:30p
2/1 (day 4) - Oga's 1:55p or 3:30p (booked both, will decide soon which to keep)

I am still anxious about getting Space220 for the 2nd half of my trip. I really really wish their system would recognize split stays as one single trip. Oh well!

Glad you got what you wanted so far. I know what you mean about those split stays.

FYI, those that are going to MK on the 8th it is listed as closing at 4:30. Just a heads up.

Oh wow. Glad I wasn't going that day. It may make my park more crowded though. Thanks for the heads up.

It could but personally, I would anticipate the park being quieter that day. They 4:30 closing is for a CM event so I'm not sure how many of them would feel the need to go early and I can see many day guests choosing to go elsewhere due to the early closing. Some of our favourite MK days in the past were MNSSHP and MVMCP days as the park would be quieter than normal until 4:00 when party guests were allowed to begin entering.

Yeah I'll be at Epcot and I think it may have more people because of it.

That is our MK day and I'm glad to hear that the park closes early. That means it might be a relatively low crowd day. We are park hoppers so we will go somewhere else for the evening.

I'd originally had it as an HS day, but when it was pointed out that those without park hoppers would probably avoid the park that day, I switched to MK.

I used to be anti-park hoppers, but it has made the reservation system less stressful.

 

[Bama Mom]

I'm at the 2 month mark on the countdown. Whoop Whoop! This next month should fly by since it's a busy one for us but then once we hit January it will probably slow down so that will make that final month before the trip drag on.

As a FYI, Space 220 Lounge is now accepting ADR's.

I def hope to snag one! I am not interested in the price fix menu, but really want to see the space! Lounge is perfect for that (since I'm without kids!)
