I was able to make my reservations this morning. I would like to get better times on 2 reservations.

Should I keep checking online every once in awhile to see if something comes up? Is it even possible?

Chef Mickey and Whispering Canyon are the ones I would like to get an earlier time.
 
It doesn't hurt to keep checking, you never know when someone might cancel. My husband was able to book CRT about 2 weeks before we went last year. I have reservations for this December that I would like to tweak a little, but if I can't at least we will be able to eat somewhere.
 
On my 90-day mark, I made a dinner ADR at Coral Reef for later than I really wanted (didn't have any other choice but to take 7:40 PM). I checked every morning after that and on about the 3rd or 4th one was able to switch to 6:30 PM.

My personal experience is that is was much easier to try to get new/different times within the first week or two of my 90-day mark than it is now. I was really pleasantly surprised at how much luck I had in moving things around that first week or two. With that in mind and given how many changes I ended up making, I think you have a great chance at getting an earlier time if you feel up to checking every day or so.

The only one I tried to move up but wasn't able to was 50s PT. I ended up getting tired of trying so we just moved our whole schedule back that day to make the dinner time work.
 
People may also cancel their reservations around the 45 day mark (when the balance is due on thier package) if they decide they cannot go.
 

For our Oct trip and Nov trip I grabbed whatever times I could and then checked online every single day a few times a day to see if a time I preferred opened up..and it does!
