I need help from the "pros" when it comes to getting dining reservations!

[penguini]

Hello,

Though this is my 5th trip in the last 3 years and 13th in the last 20 I have had NO LUCK getting reservations at a few dining spots.
I am not sure if they are worth it but it is now a matter of pride.
I have tried to get the Fantasmic dinner tickets, any meal at the Castle and an Imagineering luncheon.
Due to my show schedule I can't book till about 60 days out and that is my dilemma....however, there are those that seem to get the "hot" reservations closer in than I. I really have met and spoken with them...unfortunately NOT getting their "way".
I would appreciate any assistance, guidance or thoughts about the above.
Thanks for any help!

Slainte!

I am not really a pro, but I know that you need to just keep trying.

My sister wanted to go to CRT and planned her trip less than a month out. I went online and started looking every couple hours while I was at work and got her both a breakfast (8:05) and a dinner(5:45).

With the other two I think you need to call, so just keep calling.

I just did it every time I had a break. Maybe pick a little schedule for yourself- like call on your way to work, during lunch and on your way home or something like that.

People are changing their plans every minute of every day... you just have to be the first one to check after they do.

Honestly the only way to get these high demand places it to book further out that 60 days. Some people book 180 days out (6 months) which would be four months in advance of what you are able to do.

You can keep trying and keep checking as cancellations to happen especially around the 45 days mark and then a few days before but it will take some time and effort on your part to check on a regular basis.

Good Luck!

Why not just book a couple of the important ones on different days and then cancel the left overs at your 60 day mark.

Like the PP, just book the "in case" ones and sort it out closer to the 60 or 45 day mark

I've gotten some harder to get reservations by calling/checking online daily. You never know when someone will cancel a reservation. Good luck!
