Keep checking! There is hope!

I booked our May trip 63 days in advance and didn't think I had a shot at any good ADRs. I have been stalking MDE on my phone and, as of this morning, have been able to get:

Akerhus breakfast
Chef Mickey's dinner (request of DD)
H&V Jedi Mickey Dinner
BOG dinner

I think now that our trip is 3 weeks away ppl are starting to change their own plans and it is working out for us. KEEP CHECKING!!!

Just wanted to say congrats and thank you for sharing! We hear so often here that the hard-to-get places are gone even at 180+10 and this forum of so many type A planners (me included!!!) wants to freak out. Your post helps keep us all grounded so we know it's still possible.

Yes! I'll add another "it can be done" to this thread. This will be my 7th trip as "the adult planner" and I've always booked everything 180+10 out. This year we were planning on going somewhere else, but on a whim the last week of March decided to go back to WDW. I figured our chances at "good" ADR's were slim and none for a June trip, but in the last several weeks I have secured pre-park ADRs at CRT & Crystal palace as well as other ADRs at 1900 for both breakfast & supper, Ohana, cape may, BOG supper, Hollywood & Vine, and Beaches & cream. I've also seen 3 breakfast ADRs open up for Chef Mickeys this week, but decided not to grab any of them because we'll be seeing the FAB FIVE between our visits to Ohana & Cape May. It's actually been nice seeing it can be done with much less time to plan.

True, last night I was able to score a 8:35 BOG dinner for our trip in June. I stalked the resevation page 24-7. I was also able to adjust my 7DMT fast pass no problem, there were plenty of times.

Absolutely true! Last night I was able to get slots for the 3 of us for the Feel the Force package on May 16th. I was beginning to give up hope and then it popped up...I was so happy!! Still hoping to find a couple better time slots for some dinners, but if that doesn't happen I'm okay with it! We leave Thursday of this week, cannot wait!!!

Congrat !!!!! I just got a Park Fare that just happened to pop up after trying 10 times today. I really wish I had a Tomorrowland Dessert Party though, no luck on that one.
