Hello my name is... and I'm an Online ADRholic

[shannonstar]

Yes, I am going through withdrawals and it has only been two hours. I don't even need anything else. Really, what is my problem? I finally got Ohana Dinner, Le Cellier, and everything else on my list.
Do I wish I could make the Cape May and 1900 Park Fare's for four instead of two sets of 2? Sure, but does it really matter. No.
I just can't stop myself from checking and rechecking. Seriously. Maybe this two day forced break will be good for me.

I can't be the only one out there....

 

[julluvsdisney]

WOW you must be talking about me!!! I am obsessed! I dont even need anything at all! I too have my ADR for Ohana and Le cellier right at dinner time! I have 1900 park fare and CRT for 6 ppl but still I check and re-check EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!! I have no idea what I am even looking for! Now that disney is offline I have no idea what to do with myself! I guess I could spend time with my famliy ! I wasnt ready for this! I knew it was coming but I guess I didnt realize today is the 12th! I usually have disboards and disney on my laptop side by side! It seems so odd to have just the dis ! So I put allears up there just to fill the void!!! But dont worry you are among friends! I guess Ill just until oct 14th! Oh the pain Ill go through!!!

Count me in. I rushed to get online at 3:30 to get my final fix before the 2 day break. I don't really need anything else either, except of course if that 8am CP breakfast opened up. I can't stalk the Nov. cancelled ADR thread now either. I need therapy . . . . .

 

[sjs314]

Too funny, but I do love it that there are others out there suffering right now, along with me, since May 12 when my ADR window opened up , online reservations have become my obsession. Not one ADR is safe from being changed :
Then horror of horrors today I forgot to get online before 4 to see if an 8:05 or 8:10am ADR for CP might have magically appeared, oh and what if that Sci Fi I decided to try to get yesterday was there? and I missed it and have to wait now until the morning of the 14th which seems so long off

 

[julluvsdisney]

Ive been stalking for the 50's prime time at 530 because my ADR for 445 is waaaay too early! that 45 min could be a ride on ToT & RnRRC! thats the only thing I stalk it for ! then I change my breakfast ADRs all the time just cause I see a different time that sounds good then I change it a week later! Its sick! My DH just rolls his eyes! at least you guys get me!!!! lol!!!!

 

[ThreeAngels]

I am LMBO that there are other people out there like me! I am seriously in withdrawal right now. We're going Thanksgiving week and just booked last week. (DH finally said yes!) Surprisingly, I was able to get most of what I want, but I'm constantly looking for the elusive CP breakfast and Le Cellier lunch or dinner for a party of 5. And while I do THAT, I'm rethinking and rescheduling others. I'm driving MYSELF nuts! I'm so glad I'm not alone in my craziness!

 

[leadfootlevi]

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Hang in there... Wonder what time ADR site will be back on the 14th?

 

[4forthemouse]

Yes I need to join your support group please. I am now stalking the Dec thread in case someone posts they're going to cancel what I need on the 14th (which of course is Ohana and Le Cellier - for 5 - anyone???) Someone tell me to get off this computer and go do the dinner dishes!

 

[bumbershoot]

I had *just* started to get weird about making more ADRs and then the systems had to be worked on. Harumph.

What happened was my Kouzzina ADR was canceled b/c they are renovating it, which then opened up the first two days we are there (our sleep off the jet lag days). Then we really started doing the math and realized that getting APs actually would work quite well for us. Which means that while we do have days off *planned*, we don't *have to* take those days off.

So then all sorts of in-park opportunities opened up, and I started wondering if I had things as good as they could be, and I started really talking to hubby about it (he doesn't mind the fact that I plan well in advance for Disney, but he only really gets *involved* at 2 months out or so), and I started thinking about tweaking anything that could be tweaked...and now this.

 

[Maus]

I am completely worked up, for three days I haven't done anything else than ADR's. First I upgradet to DxDP, than I sterted ADR's, just then to find out that I wouldn't have enough time in the parks. Then I started cancelling luches and booking signature dinners instead. Now I have some restaurants on days I don't like them. I have to see if I can move them around, that means canceling and rebooking and praying that they are available at day and time I want them. And then they work on their site, are they grazy????? I will not be able to sleep, constantly trying to move restaurants/ dates/ parks..... and on the 14th the site will not be finished..... and I will still not be able to sleep..... and when the site is up again, all of us will jump and change and book and rearange and cancel and confirm and look up our ADR's...so the site will be slow and will not work ....and I will not be able to sleep again......ARGHHHHHH this is a nightmare

 

[Pooh&OurHunny]

joining, I have redoing my ADR's almost every week now...I have been doing this a few months ago and my husband tells me you'll accidently cancel one you would never get back
I got Ohana dinner and perfect time I wanted from my 180 and my husband looked menu and said he doesn't want to eat there. I got LeCellier, Then I decided to change our parks for different days and so I cancelled LeCellier and was able to get it for another. Then changed Chef Mickey breakfast a few tiimes and now I'm trying to change the time
Got the candle light dinner but not sure if we are going to go to the procession b/c of our son might not want so I might have to see that one.

 

[NC State Tigger]

Not being able to check for that Ohana dinner for 2 days will probably drive me crazy!!!! So glad I have 2 months to keep trying.

We decided on a December trip well past the 180 day mark, so I'll just hope for some pixie dust

 

[AquaDame]

After two whole days I want to be right there when it opens back up just in case... is it going to be 7am EST?

 

[ThreeAngels]

Anyone else keep checking the site because maybe, just maybe, they'll be back up a lot sooner than expected. Yeah, I know that's really unlikely, but, nonetheless, I keep checking......I guess it's an illness......

 

[mrtr62]

Oh I am so glad that I am amongst people who understand the excitement of getting all my ADR's for the DDP booked on Saturday morning.. I too have totally been checking to see what is available still and I am missing the opportunity to check the next 2 days... I am thinking of changing my Whispering Canyon for 'ohona? Any suggestions or opinions ???

It is so funny how the planning takes over everything in you and you become obsessed by it.. I keep telling my friends that my obsession with Disney is not about the mouse it as about planning the perfect trip and getting the reservations or fast passes or experiences perfect...

Now that my ADR's are booked I have moved on to creating the perfect autograph book using the creative dis forum. They are so awesome...

I am glad the forums are not down for 2 days I would be lost... who know my house may actually have gotten cleaned....

 

[whitney6494]

Ooooooohhhhhhhhh,my people!!!! This day just feels weird. I miss my morning-mid morning-noon-1pm-4pm-6pm-8pm-10pm check on WDW sight. And I think I have everything I want. I just like to check to see. I was having severe anxiety the other day when I saw a CM open for breakfast. I thought maybe we should do breakfast and not dinner. It was really early too...I wanted it so much but I didn't do it. Just posted it on Dis instead. That makes me feel better about my addiction. Well, I guess I could clean my house today.

I feel your pain! Im so lost! I cleaned yeasterday so I really have nothing to do today ! I have booked adrs that I have cancelled a few hours later because I think I want it but then I think about it and realize I dont really want it I was just excited to get it! Like a CP ressie at 6pm 10 min after I booked it I realize Ive done that dinner 3 times before and wanted to do new meals this trip but then the site shuts down! so now I have a CP dinner Im going to have to post on the dec board as soon as the site comes back up! Its an illness!!!

 

[Laurin612]

Glad to see that I am in good company! I have been checking the online system several times a day since the end of July when I booked my trip!

At least my obsessiveness/persistence has paid off! I have been able to get everything I wanted, but I am still trying to "tweak" a few times.

My husband's boss is going a few weeks after us and I offered to look for ADRs for him, too! He was very grateful, as I found him prime Ohana and Chef Mickey's dinner times. Still haven't found him Le Cellier, though.

 

[mickeysgirl17]

I'm with you guys. I have the same problem!

 

[DISdreamin']

Hi, my name is DISDreamin' and I am an ADR junkie.

I'm with you - I'm still stalking a better dinner ressie for Le Cellier for our trip. I have 4:15PM which is waaaaay too early but better than nothing. I'd like a 4:45PM. I have issues, okay?!?

I think if I mention dining reservations to DH one more time, he's going to lose it - or be convinced that I have.
