How often do you check the WDW website when searching for an ADR?

[wheredreamsbegin]

We are visiting WDW over the Thanksgiving holiday this November. I made my ADRs last Friday. I'm pretty happy with my line up of restaurants, but really want (like many Thanksgiving Day visitors) to eat at Liberty Tree Tavern. When I can, I am checking the website two to three times an hour. As I was checking again just now, I wondered how often others check the website in search of their desired ADRs. Something tells me that I might be in good company here.

When I was searching for a BOG lunch ADR last year I was looking every time I thought of it. Sometimes even a few times an hour as well I did finally get what we needed

Everyday... Everytime I think of it, all day long.
I have 3 early morning ADR's, 1 at 8:15 and 2 at 8:20.
I'm hoping for 8:00 on all 3.... It could happen

I check several times per hour while at work (anywhere from 3-10 times/hour). im in front of the computer all day anyway! I always got what I wanted.

Too often! An embarrassing amount! There are 2 elusive ones that I'm determined to score.

I've had the most luck checking very first thing in the morning.

I knew I was in good company! Good luck getting those two elusive ADRs. Thanks for the tip!

Just once or twice a day, more often closer to the trip. We planned a january trip in 3 weeks and I was amazed at what I was able to get particularly the week before we went. I know for us, we also book slightly more reservations then we probably will use and cancel the day before depending on how the kids are doing.

Way way to much!! I have everything I really wanted for our trip the end of this week but still find myself checking just in case something else "good" opens up...

I knew I had a problem when I was rolling over in bed at 3am and grabbing my phone from a sound sleep to check for a BOG opening....but low and behold I got dinner and lunch! LOL I'm going to be very bored after next week!

LOL! Hopefully you'll be able to visit again soon. It's never too early to start planning ADRs for the next trip!

I use the reservation finder posted above -- and before this trip, the other ones that used to be available. Before that, I searched all.the.time. I still ilke to search when I'm on the computer anyway....it's part of the excitement of the trip.

I'll have to check out the reservation finder. I agree, searching for and finally securing that elusive reservation it is part of the excitement!

If you're okay with eating LTT on a different day, you'll probably have better luck. I had my choice of times for Thanksgiving-eve. Most places have turkey on Thanksgiving anyway!

This is a bit extreme.

I wrote a computer program to check 4 times per hour, I run it in the background at work while the work computer is on, and I run it when I get home at my home computer, every day since 4/12

That's not extreme; it's AMAZING. Disney needs to hire you for their IT!

More than I'd like to admit...

I'll generally just keep a tab open with the page and refresh whenever I feel like it. If I'm not doing anything else all too important it's near obsessive. If I'm busy, I'll check when I can check.
