Garden Grill PPO

[Barbanellie]

Mr. Barbanellie and I were up at 6AM this morning to book our only must have ADRs for our May trip, which is a Garden Grill PPO breakfast (and a BOG lunch, but that was super easy). At the moment, opening time at Epcot for May looks like it'll be at 9AM, so I wanted to book as close to 8AM as we could. We'll be staying 10 days, so I figured it wouldn't be too hard to find a day with a really early ADR time. The earliest I have seen on any day of our trip, actually the only ADR time that was available any day, was 8:30. We did book it, but I thought that was odd. Is it because all the earlier slots were already completely booked?

Just asking out of curiosity, as this will not "make or break" our trip in any way and we'll enjoy our meal and our early start in the day, even though we won't get to any attractions ahead of anyone.

You can enter before 8 with an 8:30 PPO breakfast.

When I booked garden grill breakfast at 180+ days, there weren't many times available either (and yet I managed to get Be our guest dinner easily!). Supposedly they just don't release a lot of time slots right away and add on more later like after a few weeks.

Disney released them about 2 weeks after my 180 days. Keep refreshing the app and eventually you should be able to get the date and time you want.

Thanks for the replies, it's good to know I wasn't crazy to think there should have been other time slots than 8:30! I'll check again from time to time, to see if other times open up, just in case.

I had the same experience. At 180+ got everything I wanted including BOG, but couldn't get my Garden Grill PPO. I did sign up for the Touring Plans reservation finder and was able to nab one. It really surprised me that Garden Grill was the one to give me trouble. I think the secret is out about the GG-Soarin' pairing. I hope you get a time you want!
