Help! I'm an ADR addict...

[P-Dust]

With the Dining Plan, food has taken over my life! All I think about is trying to squeeze 2 more TS credits out of my plan. So many fine restaurants, so little time. I have already called Diney Dining 4 times to "tweak" my ressies. I still have 80 days to go! I am sure that they have put me on some sort of "stalker" list.
Is there a 12 step program for what I have?

I feel your pain. I did the same for our trip in May but left the last few days open for "whatever we felt like" and came to realize that those were my favorite days becuase we weren't worried about what time it was and where we had to be and how soon we needed to leave to catch a bus.

I too have time2 days free...had thought about making plans but I think you have a point...It would give my brain a rest.

Only 4 calls to Disney Dining? You're not an addict yet.....

I've called them at least 8 times to change things around, once to confirm everything while I was finishing up my Itinerary and just called them again this past Saturday for a final confirmation all of our ressies (leave this Saturday!).

You don't have to worry until the CM's recognize your voice and call you by name!

At least you have a trip date-I am planning meals for our next trip-and have no idea when that will be!
We just back less than two weeks ago and I can not seem to stop myself from typing in www.disboards.com every single time i get online!

Thanks

We have the Disney Dining Experience card, but I still make about 2 ADR's a day.

Hi - my name is Sue and I am an ADR addict.

Seriously, CRO thinks of me like Norm from Cheers - I call so much. I planned 90 days out and called for 9 days straight to make a ressie everyday. Then I recalled when we added a day, then I called when the park hours came out to change some times, then I called to cancel 2 and pick up two more ADR's, then I called to change for MNSSHP, then I called to switch two ressies for opposite days, then I called to confirm all the dates - ugh! 15 times just for food - I am THE ADDICT!!!

It is an Excel Spreadsheet that is a collaboration of several people's work. I got a spreadsheet from someone who got it from SnackyStacky and I built onto it from there, adding sheets, creating the Itinerary page, and customizing for my own vacation.

You can download it from HERE .

Hey I'm leaving in three days to go to WDW with my son and D-I-L. I also have a trip planned for Dec when I'm taking my 73 y/o mom for her first ever trip to WDW. My mom is a very brittle diabetic who must eat on her regular schedule. Therefore we are doing almost all sit down meals. I got free dining for the Sept trip, but am using my DDE card for the Dec trip.

Anyway this past Saturday was my 90+10 day for making ADRs for the Dec trip. I had to have 21 ADRs (already had LTT for MVMCP and Afredos for CP). I warned the CM and when we finished she laughed and said 'you weren't kidding, you did want alot of ADRs, can I help you with anything else?'. I laughed right back and said 'well unfortunately you can, because now I need to see if I can change one of my ADRs for my Sept trip'. The next day I called back and got an Illuminations cruise for the Dec trip and the CM asked if I needed 'anything else, some dining ADRs maybe?'. I told her 'Uhh, I think I have enough thank you'. Try planning and calling for ADRs for two different trips at the same time.
