Have to make adrs tomorrow!

[chloelovesdisney]

Is it still at 6am online? Is it better to do on MDE or the website? I'll be on my computer if that makes a difference.

These are my plans right now for a late August trip if you have any suggestions -

Arrival day - Check in, pool time, Beaches and Cream dinner/dessert
Day 2 - Typhoon Lagoon - Big River Grill dinner
Day 3 - Pool day/Disney Springs - Garden Grove character breakfast, WPE dinner
Day 4 - Epcot/DHS - Via Napoli lunch, Prime Time dinner
Day 5 - Pool day, Chip and Dale sing along - Captain's Grill breakfast, Trail's End dinner
Day 6 - Blizzard Beach, mini golf - Trattoria Al Forno or Crew Club lounge
Day 7 - Magic Kingdom - BOG breakfast, Skippers lunch, Plaza dinner
Day 8 - Departure day - Cape May Cafe breakfast, either pool or Disney Springs till around 4pm ME bus

I'm torn on Prime Time dinner. I would like to go but we only have about 5 hours planned there and not sure if it's worth taking time for a sit down dinner. We'll be saving our FP+ for DHS so at least we'll have those waiting.

I wanted to do Raglan Road for dinner but my family voted to go back to WPE.

Also not sure about Trail's End and the timing for the Chip and Dale Sing Along. I think that is at 7:30pm so I guess dinner at 6pm would allow us enough time to eat and get over to the sing along site. I'd also like to go on the wagon ride but not sure how that timing will work with the sing along.

On one of the pool days I also plan to go to Captain's Grill for lunch.

Think the MK day has too many meals? It will be a long day, 9a-10p, they don't want to take a resort break that day. I figure some good sit down time will be needed.

Is this a disaster?

Thank you.

Looks good to me! I would enjoy those meals. I agree that, even though you have three adr's for you MK day, it is a long day and its nice to take a good meal break. At least you can eat a lighter meal at Plaza if you aren't very hungry. We have Cape May Cafe breakfast on most of our departure days. Its a nice way to still have that Disney feel even on the last day without going to a park, and the food is delish!

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Thank you. I have spent too much time deciding on these adrs and then changing them all around again. At least they will be done tomorrow morning and then we can just tweak after that.

My plan in the morning (is it still 6am online?) is to make Beaches and Cream and then the MK ones first. I don't think the other ones will be difficult to line up 180 days out.

Not sure if it's 6am or 7am but I've been trying to get onto the Dining online since last night and it doesn't come up. So you may want to try calling just in case.

Based on my experience on our 3 ADR booking days this past month (split stay so 3 different 180 days) I would call. I was only able to make one of our 10 ADRs online, the rest gave me the "paws" screen and I had to call.

On the plus side, they had every ADR I wanted at the time I wanted

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Oh that is good to know, thank you. I will try not to panic if I can't get through online in the morning.

This is me too ReluctantDisaholic. I've done two booking days (for our Contemporary stay and our Beach Club stay). Tomorrow I book ADR's for our PORS stay. On my first two booking days, I had to call in at 7:00am. I tried at 6:00am but couldn't get through at all. I only got the 'paws' screen. I was also fairly successful getting the ADR's I wanted, but it is still frustrating. I did call IT and was told they are working on it - I expect to have to call in tomorrow, but I will still get up early and try online at 6:00am. Good luck getting all the ADR's you wanted chloelovesdisney

No luck so far, got Sorry for the Paws message on MDE.

I expected problems booking. I always have them.

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Well someone is getting through, I've watched Beaches and Cream availability for dinner disappear for August 27, 28, and 31. It was never there at all for August 26.

Now I am on hold and see one back for August 28th hopefully I will get through soon.

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Oh my gosh, gone again I hope they pick up soon!!!

 

[OurLaughingPlace]

I got everything I wanted for the times I wanted - yeah
Hope you guys got what you were looking for too. Glad I'm finished with my ADR's - hopefully FP+ won't be as stressful

I had to move a couple plans around and call back two more times but the end result is pretty much what we wanted. First Beaches and Cream was only available 8pm, then 5pm popped in there so I called and got that and then the perfect 6pm popped in MDE and I called back again.

I'm a little surprised, the Plaza turned out to be the most difficult for us on September 1st, 5:25pm or nothing. I took it but had been hoping for closer to 6:30pm. Not the end of the world.

I ended up booking and then canceling Prime Time, I don't think we'll want to use the time in the park for a sit down dinner.

Got BOG breakfast and lunch, Via Napoli, Cape May Cafe breakfast and Trail's End at the perfect days/times. Surprisingly also a little tight on times at Trattoria Al Forno but I'm happy. May try to check myself and tweak it a little earlier if possible. Not sure if we will keep the BOG breakfast or lunch depending on the park opening time and if we can make an adr for Skippers at some point.

Happy it is over and I know we have these all set.
