I need ADRA aka Advanced Dining Reservations Anonymous

[ErinsMommy]

At 180 days I make my ADRs and for the most part am quite pleased/happy with it -- then something just goes wrong and I start changing one ADR which leads to another and then another. Now at 165 days I'm pretty sure I'm happy with my changes. Until tomorrow.

I completely understand... I would join your group lol. I made all of mine back in February. My issue is I keep adding restaurants and second guessing all the ones I have made! I would like to tell you just keep it the way you have it...but you never know when something new and exciting may pop up and you need to make the necessary changes lol!!!

This is also me. I was allset then well my family wants to do mnsshp and well that threw a monkey wrench into my planning. I have 2 party dates to choose from and I really want 8/29 becuase I have a feeling 9/1 is going to be crowded since it's Labor Day weekend. But when I first changed all my adrs around I planned on going Friday. Well now I'm stalking to change all my adrs to plan for the party on Tuesday.
Plus if we get free dining I want the most expensive restaurants my husband thinks I'm nuts.
I wish you could only book 30 days in advance. My must do restaurants are BOG lunch and Ohana dinner and I have those 2 booked and of course they are the 2 I need to change if I want to party on Tuesday
I NEED HELP

This is the problem with having to book at 180 days..too much time to think about it, reconsider choices, tweak things, and generally obsess!

I'm three weeks out and have been making pretty much daily changes still have one night that I'm trying to nail down a TS dinner for that I'm not totally pleased with. We've got some days that havent been touched in months but others that have nearly daily changes.

 

[Branflakes]

We are coming in May. Not only do I book, then change, then contemplate. And look and change. I look at dining reservation availability when I don't have a trip planned. You know, while perusing ride wait times.

I need an intervention.

 

[ErinsMommy]

Glad I'm not the only one - DH asks me daily "so what did you change?"

 

[danielocha30]

can I add that after all the preparation waking up early to be at the ADR site at 6am getting all my ressies in order, just this week Disney announced their halloween party dates and all my plans went downhill from there... is only One night but is THE night, on 8/25 MNSSHP will be held and there goes my BOG dinner ADR, so yes I also change my plans often but sometimes Disney do make me, and no I haven't found any other time for BOG

 

[ErinsMommy]

i haven't found any ADRs for a time past 6:00 yet for BOG and thought they were holding back on the later times because of the uncertainty of the MNSSHP dates. What time is yours??

 

[ThreeBoyMama]

So glad I am not the only one. Sign me up for ADRA as well!

 

[SaintsManiac]

I changed every single one I made last trip. This year I am swearing to be happy with what I book at 180. (yeah right!!!!)

 

[JaimeAyers]

Can I join that group!? I change my ADRs atleast once a week! haha!!! We are at 88 days now and I'm sure I'll change them again 15 times.

 

[IrishNYC]

I've found that the shorter the trip, the less I obsess and change. 7+ days = change change change, switch, change. This trips is 4 days no hopper, 1 rest/party day, so with the exception of not deciding what I want to do in the barren ADR wasteland of DHS, nothing will change. Trip after that is just DH and I, 2 days in Epcot, no ADRs. I might not even book it until 70ish days out. I've lost my mind.

 

[shannonstar]

I will definitely need to join this group. I can't even make my actual ADRs for some time yet and I keep pulling out my spreadsheet of days to make changes. It's a bit ridiculous.

I'm trying to find a balance between old favorites, hidden gems, and new to us. Add that to the ever changing love of characters by my ASD almost 4 year old (right now we are obsessed with the Heffalump movie) and I can't seem to nail anything down, not even in jello.

 

[BayouQueen]

Part of the "problem" is that if I check on something and it's available, I grab it and then do the review research later. So change, change, change.

Glad to know others do the same, because I feel like the "Disney computer genius" thinks I'm compulsive. I'm really not!

I'm in denial that I'm the one with a problem. I had everything booked, but then the ROL dining packages came out, and Hollywood and Vine lunch was Disney Jr, then was supposed to be Minnie, then it switched back to Disney Jr. So yes, I have obsessively monitored and changed my reservations, but only because Disney made me...

 

[wdw4rfam]

Yup, me too. For our march trip, I was just deleting all my ADR emails, and I realized that I only kept 1 of my original ADRS that I made at 180 daysThe rest I either modified or changed altogether. Yet we still freak out at 180 days frantically booking ADRs, knowing that they will all be changed anyways.

Wait so lunch isn't Minnie??

 

[1st*toright]

I think lunch is still switching to Minnie, but not until the end of the summer. I think it was originally switching sometime in May? I can't keep track. I've heard not great things about the food there, so its only worth it for us if DD gets to see Sophia and Doc McStuffins. She would like to see Minnie too, but we will be able to catch her at other places, and I'd rather spend time in line to see Star Wars characters than to see the Disney Jr set

 

[ErinsMommy]

My husband swears that when the Disney system crashes its because "i broke it" with all my constant changes and looking once daily. Ok well maybe more than once daily.
