How is availability for ADR's going for December?

[LglBlonde]

We have the 40% off deal from Dec 10-15 and added the dining.

I've not started on my ADR's yet. How is availability?

 

[momof2princesses14]

we will be there dec 9-15 and ressies are filling up quickly so I'd call as soon as possible. What's the 40% off thing?

 

[LglBlonde]

Great. I have no idea where we are going or what we are eating!!

Vacation planning stress!

Back in January, there was a pin code for 40% off offered at various times throughout the year.

Early December can be very busy. It is very busy for DVC members as the points are lower. The DVC resorts are almost at capacity now and folks are on waiting lists. I booked my ADRs for my Dec. 8-12 trip back during the 180 day window and still had slim times to choose LeCellier even using the 180+10system. With the parade taping the first weekend, pop warner groups coming in and many other activities, ADRs are a must. Good luck!

 

[LglBlonde]

Ha - I guess there goes our plan to consider renting DVC points & cancel our reservations!

Hey there I've been calling to make ADR's for 12/1-12/8 and the pickings are pretty slim. We've gotten most of what we wanted but we had to be flexible on times or restaurants a bit. Good Luck!

We had difficulties finding times in December as well and we were very flexible as we are there all month. We are a group of 11 though. We had to try 10 different dates to get dinner at 50's Prime Time and then took what we could get, not what we wanted.

we are going the 18th to the 26th. we called at 6 am on the 180 day mark and could not get cinderella's castle for lunch on the 20th. we wound up changing our adr to dinner before the mvmcp. if there is anyplace you definatl want to eat on your trip, i would call asap.

 

[princesssfws]

We will be there Dec. 11-17. I called at 180 days out and was able to get everything but not at the exact times I wanted for 'Ohanas and Boma. I had no problem for CRT breakfast or 1900 Park Fare.
We called last year in Sept for the first week of Dec and got everything except LTT. But that was last year.
I'm sure there is plenty out there you may just have to be flexible on times.

DF and I will be there the 22nd-30th and we booked all ours right before the 180 day mark. Our ta did it for us and he has few problems, but we did have to be flexable as well. We ended up with what DF calls linner(lunch/dinner) reservations for a few of the places, but its not so bad because you can always grab a snack later if need be. Just try to be flexable and get it done as soon as possible also. Good luck have fun!

I also booked at 180 days out and could not get a decent time for Le Cellier. We really did not want to eat at 8:50. As it turned out, I called exactly at 9:00 a.m. the first day you were able to book the Candlelight Processional dinner package and was able to get a good ADR at Le Cellier then.

I would start making my ADR's ASAP if I were you. Also, I think your chances of renting a DVC accommodation at this late date for that time are very slim. I made my ressies exactly at 11 months out, day by day, for my Boardwalk view villa and phone lines were quite busy every morning. Of course you won't know until you try, but I wouldn't cancel my 40% off deal just yet if I were you.
