First week of December

[Countryrunner262]

So tomorrow is our 180 day. We will be visiting Dec 3-8. It looks like BOG will not be happening that week from other posts...we were wanting 12/4. What are my chances during that week at Ohana's, Sci-Fi, and Coral Reef? Free dining is a great thing, but I guess the flaw is limited openings everywhere.

There is currently very limited availability for Ohana's that week. My 180 day was on Sunday and there were only a few slots available at 6am on Sunday for Dec 7. For Coral Reef, availability seems to be limited BUT that seems to be more a factor of Disney holding back times until the Candlelight Procession Dining Packages come out. From what I have read, they will release those times once the dining packages are out. I'm counting on this because we wanted an early dinner at Coral Reef and had to settle for something 2 hours later.

Searching for a table for 4 and a table for 9:

I checked BOG for Dec 8th and they are showing availability, giving two times available for a party of four, but not for nine.

Dec 3rd - Coral Reef, 'Ohana and Sci Fi show availability. No BOG.
Dec 4th - Coral Reef, 'Ohana and Sci Fi show availability. No BOG.
Dec 5th - Coral Reef, 'Ohana and Sci Fi show availability. No BOG.
Dec 6th - Coral Reef, 'Ohana and Sci Fi show availability. No BOG.
Dec 7th - Coral Reef, 'Ohana and Sci Fi show availability. No BOG.

It looks like you will be able to get everything except BOG, which is available for four on Dec 8th. A lot of the times for "Ohana are around 8pm, but SciFi shows a lot of good times. Good luck tomorrow.

Lucky for us they haven't released free dining to the general public yet. If they do, the restaurants will really be crowded.

I decided to forego a dinner ADR for BOG and we're going to take our chances with an early lunch during one of our days in MK. I'm a stickler for having all the dinner ADRs finished up without a "plan B" to fret over

You will not be able to book a party of 9 online for Be Our Guest, according to WDW-DINE. Anything above a table for 8 will have to be split or phoned in.

Well, we got everything we wanted, besides BOG, so we are pretty happy.

I called Sunday am which was my 180 days. I could not get BOG for Dec 1 but I got it for Dec 6 and got Ohana for Dec 1 which works out just as well. We are also doing France & Germany, Chef Mickey, Mama Melrose, Liberty Tree and Rasinforest Cafe. If we do not get FD we may cancel a couple of them. We go every year so we try to mix up the restaurants. And I prefer to call and talk to a CM as they can often find alternatives quickly.The whole thing took about 15 mins
