Thank you for posting that, @scrappinginontario! That happens at Epcot, right? Looks like we will be going to Epcot on the 15th after all. I adore Kerry Butler and Telly Leung!

Yes, it is held in the outdoor theatre on the lake, across from the America pavilion.

As someone who is a relative newbie and hasn't heavily followed Broadway...
What is a good resource so I can study up before I go?!

ADR Day for my 50th bday solo trip...which means only the favorites and I think I did pretty well with them.
It looks like they fixed their issue with odd number ADRs...my last solo trip I had to reserve for 2 in places like Ohana.

Birthday Dinner- Yachtsman Steakhouse
The rest:
Ohana Dinner
Homecomin' Dinner
Le Cellier Lunch
Space 220 Dinner
Last day breakfast: Steakhouse 71

If Biergarten opens up ADRs might replace Le Cellier to save some $ and since I love Biergarten.

I’d look up which stars you’ll be seeing and watch some YouTube videos of them! IBDB.com is great also to see what they’ve done.

Hello guys! I could use some help with my booking order of ADRs this coming Sunday. I have never been to Disney longer than 5 days and this is a 10 day trip for my sons 7th birthday. I’m trying to make my list in order to optimize getting the hardest reservations. Would anyone mind taking a look and letting me know if you think I prioritized wrong? I would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

Notes- my sons birthday is 1/30 so Chef Mickeys and the dessert party are must dos for us that day. All other dates and times are flexible.

I might try to slide in Topolinos breakfast somewhere...characters, theming, and quality...having never been to Morimoto not sure how family focused it is...and man is it pricy. I hear good things about the quality though.
If you're going for Yak and Yeti have you considered Tusker House?
I know..I am giving you all character meals but my kids loved both Tusker and Topolino (breakfast).

Great suggestions! Maybe we will swap Chef Mickeys out for a different character meal. I’ve heard great things about Topolinos and it is on the Skyliner so easy access from Pop where we are staying. Morimoto is our “date night” ADR and is DH’s must do. Thanks for your input!

I WAS all done with planning but now my son is joining us for part of our trip. All my ADR's were for 2 and I'll be stalking to modify to 3 or add a ADR for 1.

At every restaurant I’ve checked in at (several between August and October), there was an option when checking in on the app to add up to one more person. Can anyone confirm if this is still the case?

My ADR date is tomorrow! I'll be up at 3am to do them online.
In order of difficulty to get (also priority for us), does this line up make sense?
- Ohana (dinner)
- Be Our Guest (lunch)
- Via Napoli (dinner)
- Yak & Yeti (dinner)
- Homecomin' (lunch)
- Wine Bar George (dinner)

Historically I've had problems getting Homecomin' so if it were me I'd move that one up higher but, I've also never tried booking Via Napoli or Yak & Yeti so not sure how hard those are to get?

My day is tomorrow too! I agree with moving up Homecomin’ before Yak and Yeti, but otherwise looks great!

Ok, I moved up Homecomin to either 3rd or 4th, we’ll see how it goes tomorrow morning.

Added on Sci-if Dine In but not too upset if I don’t get it. I don’t find any sit down really calling my name for DHS.

Trying to make my reservations now it’s not letting me. I keep getting the "Sorry for the "paws" message. I've tried on my laptop and phone. I guess I'll have to wait to call at 7am EST.

Oh no, that is aggravating. Were you able to figure it out?

I couldn’t do it on the app at all the website was unbelievably slow. I only had to two to do but wow. It was bad!

Nope. Been on hold since 7am to do it over the phone.

Have you tried a different browser on your laptop. The last time the website gave me issues (which is frequently), I was able to do it using Edge.
