I have made so many ADR changes...

[Belle5]

It's embarrassing! I'll bet I have broken some kind of record. I started six months ago. I don't think any of the nine days I have planned meals for have the same ones I started with. Most meals have had multiple changes. I am so glad that I don't have to talk with a living person!! I used to call up the CMs to make changes--but this trip I was far worse than ever because of adding additional people to our party and changing from on-site to off-site which meant no EMH nights which changed our parks...

I'm happy to report that I have done no changes since booking over Easter Weekend.

The only one I changed was Donald's Safari Breakfast as I was able to get earlier times. 9:55am-8:35am-8:05am.

I'm not even looking online at the ADR's. I picked the restaurants months ago. Looked at the park hours before narrowing down where we will be each day. Then picked the restaurants. I was able to get everything as I booked right at 180 days.

I'm with you! I started off make my ADRs in Feb. I have juggled, switched and altered almost every ressie. At pne point we extended our trip then we cut it back. Nuts! I was sooooo confident with my initial picks! Thank goodness for the online system.

It is the online system. I started planning when I booked at 11 months out. I was so confident. I made all ADRs at 180 days. Then I changed everything within the two weeks that followed. I think I am set now. Who knows? It's weird. This is so unlike me!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! My husband was just shaking his head at me. I better be set now! I still have 6 weeks to go though, so who knows!

 

[Sugar Jones]

So have I!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one.

I had everything set in stone, but then they changed the nights of MNSSHP and it threw my schedule all to heck! I *think* I'm set now though

 

[persimmondeb]

We're set now. I made a lot of changes too, especially for the night we're going to be at the MK. In my defense, I was waiting for them to release June dates for the fireworks dessert party, and I kept fiddling with what we might do instead if they didn't have it. But we've got it and we're less than 3 weeks out now! Yaay!

 

[ChrisHartman]

I have done the same thing....and I'm afraid I'm probably still not done yet. There's an elusive dinner at Chef Mickey's that I can't seem to get....ack!!!!!!!

Six weeks until the trip--for me that would mean changing all of the ADR's at least twice--even after I am CERTAIN we are all set!!

Unfortunately for me...I can't blame it on the on-line system. This is our family's 25th vacation to the WORLD and I have done this every time! It used to be so embarrassing to have to speak with a CM. They would pull up all my ADRs and say, "Oh, my....you have a LOT of cancellations here..." Then, I would proceed to give all my excuses to them. Very embarrassing! The new on-line ADR protects me from that. I love it! My problem is I think, and re-think the perfect vacation in my sleep. As new information about park hours and special events are released, that just compounds the situation! The good news is--our vacations are fantastic! I have no regrets!

I've thought about changing our MNSSHP night but it just works the best on the night I picked.

I may be paying a lot more to go to MNSSHP this year as it appears to not have a discount for the night I'm planning. Hopefully, this means it won't be as crowded as last year.

 

[triciari]

Mine 180 + 10 window opened today, and I've already made changes!!! This is fun!!

 

[texasgirl73]

No I think I have the record. I think I have made and cancelled at least 60 reservations.... I can't help myself.

 

[Mom2Elliot]

I spent so much time leading up to our 180 day window making sure I had everything *perfect.* Got up super early to make sure we got everything just as we planned. And now? Our dining reservations in no way resemble what I had booked back in January! LOL! I am LOVING the online system. I am really good about canceling as soon as I book something else at least!

 

[melissa5583]

lol...I've made a ton of changes too! My original reservations went like this:

8/29 Sanaa (We're staying at AKL) 7:30
8/30 Tony's 6:50
8/31 Le Cellier 7:10
9/1 Hollywood & Vine 6:30
9/2 Fulton's 7:30
9/3 O'Hana's 6:10
9/4 Ragland Rd 7:00

Then...I decided that I wanted to do a character breakfast, since we would have a TS restaurant left (b/c Fulton's is not on the dining plan).....so I added the Donald's Safari Breakfast onto my 9/2 reservations @ 8:35 AM

Then...I read about V&A's and I decided it would be a great restaurant to eat at for our honeymoon...so we cancelled Sanna. We were able to get reservations for V&A @ 5:45! Yay!

Then...I thought about the fact that we were staying at AKL and not even eating there!!! So..I added Boma for breakfast on 9/3 @ 9:00 AM

But...I was reading on disboards, and decided that I wanted to do another Character breakfast (at 1900 Park Fare). The only day that seemed possible was 9/5 (our last day). But, our flight leaves at 1:30, and I decided that we should probably give ourselves enough time to get to the airport...and not rush through breakfast. So...I switched Boma to 9/5 @ 8:30 since we'll be there anyways. And, I got reservations for 1900 Park Fare on 9/3 @ 9:15 AM!

Now...I've promised my fiance that I will not make any more changes!!! And, I'm sticking to it....maybe!!
