Ok, I need to make my ADRs on Saturday morning. I am a planner, but I have to say, I find it ridiculous that we have to do this 180 days out. Although, this is a first time since 2001 that I have more than 3 months to plan my trip. Lol. The last couple were booked only 2-3 months before. So, I am really hopeful that I will be able to book things I can never get. I only have an iPad, but I will get up super early and try to sign on with that and then call in when the phones open up, too.
So, can you help me prioritize what to ask for first, please? I am thinking I should try for the harder ones to get, first, right? Also, on the park days that I would like pre-park breakfast, what are the earliest times to get? It takes me a very long time to eat, because I have swallowing issues, so I would kind of like to get as early a time as I can. Also, I guess I have read that sometimes they change it, and make the opening time even earlier. Is this done at a non EMH park, or are they moving a park that has EMH to an even earlier time?
Seems like from reading a bit, that it's still hard to get ADRs even 180 days out? I have read that I should just keep trying, and I will do that. Any other tips you can give me would be appreciated, thank you.
11/13 ~ HS on this day. I don't intend on doing rope drop. It'll be a wake up without the alarm day, which will still be early. Just don't want to be up at 6am or anything. Will be eating a little breakfast at the resort. I would like to get Hollywood Brown Derby and do the Fantasmic! package. Hoping they still do that. I would like lunch, if I can do it, I think. If not, I'd take dinner, and if I cannot get either, Mamma Melrose, like last year, I suppose.
11/14 ~ AK planned, hours are 9-6 and want a pre-park ADR for Tusker House. I really enjoyed that last year. I was able to eat a couple of things they had. I find AK is a difficult park for me to eat at, so I'd really like to get TH for breakfast.
11/15 ~ MK and hours are posted as 9-7. I would like pre-park open at Crystal Palace. They make over easy eggs to order, and I am able to eat these and it was one of the few meals I got to eat my whole plate of food, so I'd like to do this again. Plus, Tigger is one of my very favs.
If I cannot get breakfast there, BOG for lunch or dinner would be good, but this is a hard to get, right? I can swallow the potato soup, so that is another place I was able to actually eat something. Now that I'm thinking of it, maybe I will definitely try for a dinner here, too. No Wishes or parade at night, since it's a MVMCP night. What is the latest ADR that is possible?
11/16 ~ EPCOT and I'm thinking I'd like to try Teppan Edo. For lunch or dinner. If I cannot get that, I will try for Rose & Crown, which has been very good with making something for me to eat in the past.
11/17 ~ MVMCP and I would like to do Afternoon Tea at the GF before the party. I've never been able to get an ADR for this, so I'm hoping this time I will. Last year, we at at the Grand Floridian Café before MVMCP. That would be my second choice.
11/18 ~ MK today, and it probably won't be rope drop, since we had the party the night before. Would like to try BOG for lunch or dinner. Or Tony's I guess, they have worked well the last 2x.
11/19 ~ EPCOT for our last day. Would like Chefs De France for lunch, or dinner. Or if not, I'd try for Coral Reef or Via Napoli.
Thank you everyone.
