Help me prioritize order of importance!

Hi! I'm coming up on my 180+ day mark so I'm trying to square away my ADRs. From the following list of what I'd like to try and get could anyone offer suggestions on what I should try for first and so on? I know some are hard to get so I'm trying to better my chances. Any tips anyone can offer?

CRT late bfast or early lunch on Day 4- I will also be trying to get my daughter a BBB reservation as early as possible so I really need this to coordinate with that reservation, problem is BBB can't be made until 7 from my understanding. This is also my DD's bday so this is a pretty important reservation for us.

BOG Dinner also on Day 4- trying to plan the ultimate princess day for my DD bday but this isn't as important to us as CRT. I will do 1900 PF as a backup this day if I can't get BOG. Is 1900PF usually tough to get?

Akershus PPO Bfast Day 2- This is also a pretty important one for us to get into WS early that day and beat the lines for A&E M&G. Backup will try and get this for Day 7 or any day following (we have 10 days total).

'Ohana Dinner Day 1- There's probably another night I could switch this to if needed... Maybe Day 6. Is this difficult to get at all?

BOG PPO Bfast Day 7- This isn't crucial, just thought it would be nice to get into MK early one day and would rather not use a TS credit since we'll have plenty of CS to try and use. Also could do this Day 10 instead.

H&V Minnie Holiday Dinner Day 5- Hopefully can get this w/ Fantasmic package. Not sure on the difficulty of getting this one either.

Ohana Bfast Day 9- I have no idea if this is a tough one or not. There's also probably other days we could do this instead and it's definitely not as important as some of the others.

I have a few others but they really aren't as big of a deal for us or I doubt we would have any trouble. I'm really struggling with whether to go for CRT first or Akershus. I know CRT has historically been more difficult but I'm sure the Akershus PPO ones are becoming sought after due to the Frozen craze. But I also don't want to risk not getting CRT on my daughter's bday.

I would try to book either Akershus PPO breakfast or CRT first. If you are flexible on your times for CRT I would go for Akershus breakfast first. Now that Disney has announced Norway will open up at 9:00am I think Akershus PPO Bfast will edge out CRT as being harder to get. After those two I would pick either BOG PPO Bfast or Ohana Dinner. 5th I would pick H&V Minnie Holiday Dnner and last Ohanna Bfast. I haven't tried Ohana Dinner yet so I am not sure how fast it books up but I know Akershus PPO Breakfast and CRT book really fast.

Thank you for the input. I think your suggestions make perfect sense. Our times for CRT are more flexible than the Akershus times as we need PPO for that or there's no point. And I know the BOG reservations are a little harder so I'll do those after I get the princess meals squared away.

Your last 3 should be no problem.

Your top 4 will all be very tough. BOG dinners seem to be booking 180+6/7 right now. CRT for any meal is about the same. You are going to want back-ups for all of these.

Try to book the top 4 in the order they mean the most to you and hope for the best!

Thank you! I figured those ones are going to be hard. I guess I'll be going for CRT first because that's the most important on that specific day. The other ones I can always do different days if I have to. And just to clarify, are you saying the hard ones are CRT, Akershus and both BOG Bfast and dinner or is Ohana dinner a challenge as well? Just wanted to clarify, I assumed that BOG were harder to get than Ohana but Ohana was the 4th one I listed. Thanks again for the info!

Ohana will be challenging on Day 1. With free dining for parts of Nov/Dec the character/buffet meals book up quickly as they are perceived as high value compared to the cost of paying cash.

Ok thanks! I don't need for that to be Day 1 so I'll have a backup for that one as well. The princess meals are more of a priority so I'll go for those first. Thanks for the tips!
