Help prioritizing my ADR strategy

[kristidiaz1]

So I'm working out our plans and think I have our list of ADR's we hope to get. When my 180 comes, how would you prioritize the following TS? (in terms of trying to get the hardest to get first)

**updated the list to show the order by day


Mama Melrose fantastic dining pkg
Tusker House breakfast-ROL dining pkg
Ohana dinner
Ohana breakfast
Tappan Edo dinner
Sci fi lunch
Possible BOG dinner (not if it goes to 2 credits)
Garden Grill breakfast- *PPO*
Tonys for the parade pkg
Chef Mickey dinner

Also, can I reserve the actual dining packages (Parade, fantastic, rol) online or just make a regular reservation? I cant remember, last trip was a few years back. Thanks!!!

I would definitely get the 'Ohana meals first, then BOG, if you want PPO breakfast at Garden Grill, try for that one in the beginning too. I don't think the other's are as likely to book up as quickly. The package ones probably next after that.

It partially depends on the relative dates of the reservations (i.e. if you are eating at O'Hana before BOG).

My order would be:
BOG
O'Hana
Chef Mickey
Garden Grill
Dining Packages
Others

I would do bog first, then ohana for dinner, ohana for breakfast, and then I don’t know if the rest matter too much.

Thanks for the insight..I updated my list to go in order by day to help me plan. Hadn't thought to add that into my strategy somehow, thanks!

How many days will these ADRs span? As previous posters have mentioned, 'Ohana and BoG will definitely be the hardest to secure. An 'Ohana dinner on your second night may be harder than say BoG on your 5th night based on when other peoples 180+ opens. (The end of peoples trips will be closer to the beginning of yours. The same strategy goes for FP+)

As for the dining packages like FoF, RoL, and Fantasmic! they are 100% bookable online IF Disney has released the schedules. I find that sometimes packages do not go up right at the 180+.

Totally agree

If you are staying at Poly you don't have to bother booking O'Hana's for dinner. Just order the Twilight Feast via room/private dining.
