Keep checking

[disdreamer7]

After deciding to go to Disney, at the busiest time of the year and almost at the last minute, thinking there's not a chance of snagging restaurant reservations. I have been checking several times a day for BOG and the Afternoon Tea. I now have both, I am so excited.

That's great! It does pay off to keep checking frequently because peoples plans change and they release their reserved reservations. So glad it worked out for you. Have a great trip!

Great advice. I did not bother looking at 180 days and got every ADR we wanted including BoG for dinner.

I feel sad for all the people who think if they don't book their ADRs at 180 days then their vacation is doomed. I've never had a problem when I just keep checking every few days.

I was in this camp when we started planning our Once In A Lifetime trip for next March...I woke up at 6 AM on Day 180 and did my thing. Then I saw a close friend have his entire vacation blown to hell by Matthew and having to redo EVERYTHING on 2 weeks notice. He got every reservation he wanted in that 2 weeks time (the only compromise is they got Chef Mickey's for dinner instead of brunch), and most of the FastPasses as well.

You can't completely "wing" a Disney Vacation...it helps to have an idea of what your must do's are...but at the end of the day, it's a vacation, not storming the beach at Normandy. Keep calm...and DisBoards.
