Help me prioritize my ADR booking order

[Asnell]

Preparing ahead, and I want to figure out which of my desired ADRs I should try to book first, second, etc. I've done a rough listing of what order I think I should try, but would appreciate others' opinions, especially at identifying which one or two will be the hardest to get.

The time I am trying to get for each of these is pretty important -- where we're flexible I've indicated a range.

So, on the day I'm able to book our 180+10 ADRs, in which order should I try for these?

In addition, we may be booking the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. Some places on WDW's site indicate that it will be available to book at 180 days now, but that seems to be in doubt. If that's available at 180, I'd need to add it to the list below (possibly first? advice appreciated).

TIA!

California Grill 7-7:15pm
Chef Mickey's 7am
Hollywood & Vine w/Fantasmic Package 5-5:15 pm
Boma 4:30pm
Sci-Fi 1:30-2pm
Via Napoli 5:45-6:15pm
Via Napoli 1-2pm
Coral Reef 5:30-6:30pm
T-Rex 12:30-1:30pm
Kona Cafe 5:45-6:15pm
Big River Grill 7:30pm
Beaches & Cream 1:30pm

I'm not familiar with WDW at mid to late November (I'm assuming that is when you are going) so can't help with prioritizing. What I do suggest is splitting the list in half. Have one person log into computer and make ADRs and have one person log into another computer or smart phone and make the other half.

It doesn't look to *me* like you are going after anything that will be tricky, but I totally get the wanting specific times.

Oh - I would make the dessert party a priority. Keep an eye on the Wishes thread and you'll have a good feel for whether or not it will be bookable on your 180 date.

I dont think you will have a problem. I'd do California grill, via Napoli and chef Mickey first. The rest aren't too hard to get, I can still pull some of those up for September and in at 129 days out now.

-Fantasmic!: If Fantasmic! is at 6:30 the last F!DP reservation might be earlier than 5 or 5:15 to allow enough time to eat, walk over to the amphitheater and find a seat.

-T-Rex: You can call the restaurant directly to get the time you want because they only release a small number of their reservations to Disney.

-Big River Grill: It doesn't take reservations through Disney and might not take any reservations at all.

-Tomorrowland Wishes Dessert Party: If it is available at 180 days this should be at or near the top of your list.
