Hard To Get Reservations?

[firechick139]

Someone on another thread suggested going down your list from the hardest to get to the easiest to get reservations when you call for your ADR's. Is there a list somewhere that will let me know what is the hardest to get and the easiest to get restaraunts?

I don't know if either list has been created by anyone but I'll venture my opinion that Le Cellier would be at or near the top of the 'Hardest to Get' list. If you've got 180 days to go until your trip and can get to a phone by 7 am Eastern, you should be able to get anything you want.

From past experience, Cinderella's Table is the hardest to get; there are not that many tables there so it's more limited on how many can get in for a certain day.

Next I would say Le Cellier. After that, it would probably be your character meals.

Cinderella's Roundtable is the hardest to get in my opinion but not impossible if you call 180 days before your vacation at exactly 7:00 a.m. Keep trying if you get a busy signal.

I agree that Cinderella's Royal Table has historically been the hardest to get. Since it went to 2 TS is is not Quite as hard, but still must be gotten right away. Le Cellier also sells out immediately. Other than those, at 180 days you should be okay.
If you are asking about in less than 180 days, character meals sell out early. Park restaurants generally sooner than resort restaurants, although I think Kona Cafe is getting pretty popular.

Yes, I have heard about CRT and Le Cellier going fast, but what about some others like The Coral Reef? Here are a few of the places we are considering, also some of the character meals. Please feel free to post anything else we should be considering, too. Which of these is the hardest to get into?

Supercalafragalistic Breakfast (GF)
Cinderella's Gala Feast (GF)
Princess Story Book (Akershus)
Chip-n-Dale Harvest Fest (Garden Grill)
CRT (Hardest, I know)

Coral Reef Restaraunt
Big River Grille & Brewery Works
International Feast at Epcot for Grand Gatherings

Other Alternatives:
Tony's Town Square
50's Prime Time
Kona
Ohana


We are trying to do things that mostly appeal to the 4 year old that is OBSESSED with the Princesses, but definately don't want to leave anyone out. The 17 year old is pretty easy-going and will basically do whatever for dinner.

Just noticed your trip is a year away ... so you do have that all important 180 day mark.

The Iluminations Grand Gathering has to be booked through the Grand Gathering (Group?) Department - it is only offered on certain days of the week and is only available to you if there are 8 or more people (aged 3+) in your party - if this is a must do, it will eliminate some of your options.

That said - I would definitely do it - the view for Illumination alone is worth it! The deserts they served were yummy too - as was the dinner itself. We were an older group (aged 12 to 66) but still found the "show" part of the dinner amusing - the kids in the room really seemed to get into it. At the end, Minnie and Goofy made an appearance - which is another plus.

Once you know which day your Illuminations Dinner is on, you can have some flexibility with the others. Oh, how many days do you plan on being at Epcot? If only one, is the Askerhaus Princess meal a must do? (I haven't been, but it seems like you have lots of other princess options, so I would choose the Grand Gathering over the princesses at Askerhaus if something has to go.)

Just noticed you also have the Garden Grill and Coral Reef, which are also at Epcot. I'm a one park a day person ... so it seems strange to me to have so many choices for one Park ... but if you park hop, I guess it works out fine!

63 days away from arrival and I JUST booked CRT dinner and Le Cellier. Guess I lucked up

I'd love to see a list like that! I'd especially love to see a list of the easiest to get resturaunts, for those times when you want a TS meal, but forgot to make an ADR for that time. I'd like to know which ones might be options in/near each park (yeah, I know, I don't ask for much, do I?)

I tried 5 months out and couldn't get a table for 4 at Le Cellier or 'Ohana for December.
