Hardest ADR's to get?

[Dr Gevil]

Oh, thank you so much! I wish I'd known this when I was planning. I'll try and do that next time we decide to go. Hope you have a wonderful time, happy anniversary!

Thank you! Yeah, I was in the same boat as you, thinking how can the Chef’s Table always be booked when I tried to do on MDE?!? Then I was told that to had to call their direct number - 407-WDW-DVNA right at 9 am to book. We are there for 9 days in June, but still had to “settle” for the night before our actual anniversary even with hitting redial like crazy at 9 am hoping to get a live person instead of the recording. . So it can be done!

Bon Voyage Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno is also pretty hard to get.

It didn't used to be difficult, but I think everyone has figured out how good the breakfast is there.

The only ADRs I couldn't get at all for August were Be Our Guest Dinner and Cinderella's Royal Table. I know why BOG isn't available, but nothing for CRT (tried various party sizes, meals, and out to 187 days) is a bit of a let down.

Did you try for CRT on the app and website? It only showed availability for me on website for some reason. Also, I believe I selected a specific time (8am) instead of Breakfast.

I have hardly ever had an issue getting the ADRs we wanted going on 22 (23??) trips now. Some of those have been 3-day trips, some up to 12 days, so the 180+10 has been a varying factor.

On the shorter trips, it has sometimes been challenging to get a PPO ADR that we wanted, let's say -- or to get CRT, BOG or even Le Cellier at a specific time that we wanted. With a bit of flexibility, we've gotten desired ADRs.

I should add that I am just about ALWAYS online right at 6am on the day we can book ADRs, and we've done trips from "slow" times to summers.

App. The website is showing times, so BOG is the only one I couldn't find and from what I've read no times have been released yet for the end of July or August.

I booked CRT breakfast at around 80 days out for 8am ppo
It was pure luck & my dd is delighted.



Just Keep checking

Other than CRT and BOG what are some of the hardest ADR's to get?

I found Sci Fi Dine in Theatre hard to get surprisingly. BOG and CRT were not that bad for me to get, not sure why. I'll consider myself lucky on those ones. But getting a ADR notification for Sci Fi? I have had that one in place for 2 months now and have not seen anything come through.

Beaches & Cream can be tricky sometimes. I suppose because it's so small.

I agree-VERY hard to get. However, on this last trip, we found additional ADRs available just a couple days beforehand.

The Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian is often booked up within a couple months of your visit, so right around the time you start really planning your day and seeing where it might fit in.

I'm sure it has been mentioned Ohana -- if you want prime dinner time you must book at the 180 (+10). Any later and you will likely find a reservation but it might be at 4:00 or 9pm.

Also pretty much any pre park opening reservation at 8am for 9am opening, but if they change park hours and then open at 8am -- many will ditch those PPO reservations.

You will never be without reservations -- the app is a wonderful thing because you can look the day before and sometimes find those sought after reservations because people will cancel. So just keep looking is the best advice.

Today was my 180+8. I went online at 7 EST (I forgot it opened at 6, I confused it with FP time!) and still managed to get everything I wanted but... The only tricky one I tried for was Ohana breakfast, and I am happy with a 10 am time. All the rest--Skipper Canteen, 50s Prime Time, Tusker House--are pretty easy to get these days.

If I ever try for Victoria and Albert Chef's Table, THAT seems like the challenge of all challenges!!

Ever since it became a meet and greet it has been pretty hard to get. But 180+ you should have options most times. It’s outstanding food and character interaction. And for boys they get to dine with princes not just princesses.
