Got our ADRs for first week in June!

[MysteryMachine]

Amazingly, though it took over 3hrs on the phone (more than 1 hr on hold before she got anyone), my wife got almostall the ones we wanted or at least our second choice - we had to be flexible in times but really its pretty good mix I think for this late in the reservation timeline. The noteable exceptions were Sci Fi for a lunch and any character breakfast (we were hoping for tusker, but she tried several and all were totally booked).

Something has to be up with sci fi since so many people are having trouble with it.

These were all for 4 people.

Before someone says "wow that is a lot of restaurants", almost everyone in our party of 4 has some sort of food allergy (except me!! I get to eat it all). So we decided the best route was TS for every meal with the allergies listed on the ADR ahead of time would be the most comfortable route for our group (rather than holding up the line at CS with all kinds of detailed allergy questions).

Can't wait!! Its our 10yr wedding anniversary and we haven't been to DisneyWorld since our honeymoon.

Wow! Congratulations!

Dinner at Le Cellier booked less than 60 days out!

You'll be on a first name basis with the folks at Boma!

LOL, well Boma better be good breakfast. The menu had a LOT of stuff on it that the allergy folks could eat. Since different allergies in the group include wheat, eggs, dairy and pork breakfast is the toughest meal. My wife tried booking a few other places for breakfast but they were all full so the fall back was the Boma (being in our hotel and all so its easy).

Amazing that we got Le Cellier... we've never been there so it'll be a fun experience I'm sure. If that slot was someone's cancellation on this board - thanks!

Wow! How did you do it? I have been trying ot get into LeCellier the third week of June to no avail. I have been trying for weeks, also the Fantasmic package has been booked.....

Don't be afraid to ask the chef for special allergy free foods. I have a friend whose son has an allergy, but was dying to have pancakes. She talked to the chef at one of the All Star food courts and they made him special applesauce pancakes every day! :

Just good timing - someone must have cancelled. According to the disney guide book we've been reading the 3rd week of June is more crowded (first week of june many schools are still in session).

I guess the new reservation system is giving the cast members fits. My wife said the CM had it crash several times so they had to keep going back to double check that it saved the ADRs. Also it sounds like the new behavior is more like ticketmaster where it just offers up one ADR no matter how many are avail. For example my wife said "any time between 6pm and 10pm works for us", the lady put that in and it said only 6pm slot was open, but then the cast member would put into the computer 7pm to 10pm and an 8pm would pop up as available. sounds like disney shouldn't have laid me off in the "dot com crash" in 2001 LOL (I'm a database programmer, but back then I was working on the websites not the disney world stuff)
