Friday's the day! UPDATE

[momtoprincesses]

Finally after a year of planning, Friday I can make our ADRs! I am excited and actually find myself getting a little nervous! The main ADR I am looking for is CRT for my daughter's fifth birthday. I am hoping for an early dinner that day, but I am already worried that everything will be booked.

Other ADRs I hope to snag:

Dec. 4: Chef Mickey's 6:00
Dec. 5: CRT 4:00
Dec. 6: O'Hana 9:30 for breakfast
Dec. 7: Tusker House 11:30 lunch
Dec. 8: Crystal Palace 4:30

Any tips for making the process go smoothly? I have never done this before.

Thanks!

*Update* So excited that I was able to get all of my ADRs within 20 minutes of the time we wanted except for Chef Mickey's which we didn't get until 6:50. That is late my for my little ones, but I will keep checking and hoping something earlier comes up. This trip is finally starting to feel real!

Sounds like a fantastic group of restaurants on a special trip for a special birthday girl!

I can only tell you the obvious, but it did work out well for us. Be on the website and logged in at 6am eastern time. If you are not familiar with the website, or don't have and account set up take care of that now.
I had to get up at 2:45 am in CA, and man that hurt! , but was certainly worth it because I got every reservation we wanted.
By getting on the website by 6:00am, if it doesn't work out you can be more than ready to call in at 7:00am.
I sure wish you luck, it always takes some of that too.

Thanks!

I did a search for Dec 5th at 4pm for four people and there was availability at 3:50 and 4:05pm.

I hope your daughter has a lovely birthday.

Your Adr's look great. Lots of characters for your little girl. Our big ADR is BOG for DS10's bday present. At least he's old enough to understand it might not happen and then we'll have lunch instead. Good luck tomorrow morning. I'll be on the computer with ya!

Thanks for the tips and the good luck! I am waking up at 5:30 to make sure I am ready to go!
