help with ADR strategy-Hoop, Le Cellier, & CRT

[clareita]

I can't believe I need a strategy for restaurant reservations, but here we go.

I'm checking into the Poly. on April 20, so my 180 day out mark is Oct. 23. I'm concerned about my ability to get three specific ones - CRT, Le Cellier, and Hoop Dee Doo. I want the 5pm Hoop Dee Doo on the 20th, Le Cellier for dinner on Mon. the 21st and CRT for lunch the 23. From what I've read in the UG, I need an atomic clock, a trial run, etc. to get the CRT. My concern is that I will try all that, it won't work and then when I move on to Le Cellier and Hoop Dee Doo, they will be gone as well. Is this possible, or am I just neurotic?

Okay, I wouldn't stress so much over it. You know that you have to call 180 days out and so that is a good start. First of all, I would make the ADR for Le Cellier first as soon as the reservations open on the 23rd.

Next, I would do CRT. I think Breakfast is the hardest to get. I went for dinner and was able to get reservations 2 months before. I don't think its too hard to get lunch.

Finally, you should do HDDR as the other 2 are harder to get than this.

Don't panic. Even if they are all booked up which I don't think they will be, you can always keep calling because more than likely, someone will cancel by then and a table will be available.

I wouldnt worry about the Hoop Dee Do revue we were able to get tickets to it about 3 weeks before we arrived on site..I wish it was sold out because I thought it was terrible.

Don't worry, if you're calling at 7 AM Eastern 180 days out, I think you'll do OK, especially since you're not calling for the busiest time of year. Even if you call at 7 AM, be prepared to be put on hold for a few minutes. DON'T PANIC!! Just stay on hold. It happened to me, and I still got CRT for breakfast at exactly the time I wanted.

I have to LOL at this. We are going April 16th and my day to call is the 19th and I have been having anxiety attacks all week. I was told to just yell out what I want and not to let the person taking the reservations even say hello..LOL. We want CRT and Le Cellier too

Good luck to everyone. I'm sure you'll get all the ADR's you want.

I called in Sept for a January trip and got all the dates and times for our ressis.. CRT, Le Cellier and 8 more. The key is to just call as much in advance as possible. Good Luck
