Just made ADRs...180+10

[zulaya]

Today was the first day I could call...we arrive Nov 30 and stay until Dec 8.

The CM did allow me to make ressies for my entire trip AFTER I had given her my reservation number. She said without it in the system, she would not be able to do more than my Nov 30 reservation.

Thanks for the report zulaya! We're Dec 1 so we're up tomorrow!
Did you have any problems getting what you wanted? In particular did you book Le Cellier?

Sorry im kind of new at thie whole ADR thing, but planning on doing it for my family's next trip in Dec/Jan. so you can make your ADRs only 180 days before your first day there? TIA

I got everything I wanted...but I did not book Le Cellier. Sorry...we are just not impressed with it...we have way better steakhouses in both atmosphere and food here in MN.

Every date and time I wanted was available within 20 minutes of what I asked for. We are a party of 4.

I booked the following:
Crystal Palace - breakfast and dinner
Chef Mickey's - dinner
Boma - dinner
Kona Cafe - dinner
Biergarten - dinner
Garden Grill - dinner
Cape May Cafe - breakfast
1900 Park Fare - dinner

My breakfasts were 8:05am. Dinner - I aimed for 5:30pm. The only dinner that was a little later than I wanted was Biergarten at 6:15pm. But the CM did acknowledge that not all times were released yet and that the Candlelight Processional has yet to be released.

I do want to try the new Tusker House buffet and the Ying and Yak, but the CM said they are not taking ADRs yet and she didn't know when they would be at this time. So, I'll call back every so often...or watch the boards when someone else finds out first.

DH will be making our ADRs for our 12/1-12/8 trip tomorrow morning at 6:58 AM

We're looking to eat at CRT, Hollywood and Vine, Concourse Steakhouse, Tusker House and Coral Reef.

Next he will have to call to schedule my parents' 2 tours they wish to take: Undiscovered Future World and Yuletide Fantasy Tour.

I typed up a color coded itinerary for our trip complete with EMHs and other options for our days.

Can't wait! I LOVE PLANNING! A neighbor who is planning on going in October asked me to help her plan. I said ABSOLUTELY!!!!!

Can't wait to go in July and again in DEC.

Called this morning for our reservations for Dec, too. Got everything I wanted including Le Cellier for 2 on Dec 7th for dinner and Breakfast with Cinderella at a table for 12 on December 9th. Two of the people in our group of 12 didn't plan on going, but I couldn't get a table for 10 that day. I'll have to talk them into getting up early to go with us afterall.
