Losing my mind waiting until 6 am tomorrow!!

[momtobrynncess]

With this new online system, I am anxiously awaiting 6 am tomorrow morning!! My plan is to set the coffee maker for 5:15 am so that the coffee is ready when I get up at 5:30...I can't function with out my coffee.....

I've gone over and over my itinerary w/o the benefit of park hours (don't even get me started on that topic) and I think I have it finalized.

Now it's the mad, mad wait for the morning and stressing over whether or not the system will work for me, and if I will get all that I planned for.....I read a post here in Restaurants from lots of dis'ers who got up this morning and did the same thing. Congrats to all who got what they wanted....

Send a little pixie dust our way , and I am sending pixie dust to those in the same boat as me for tomorrow morning!!

If I haven't lost my mind, I will open up a post in the morning if any others want to join in!!! (I am in the eastern standard time.) Good luck to all!!

OP, I didn't have any problems. Be on your first restaurant page with reservation associated before 6am. I must say that mine opened up a couple of minutes before 6 this morning according to my atomic clock. Refresh your screen at 6, and you'll be ready to go. Have your restaurant choices bookmarked and flip from restaurant to restaurant. It was really easier than I thought. Just make sure that you are not idle for 20 minutes because the system says that it will drop your cart if you are. Good Luck!!

I just realized that if online resies open at 6 Eastern, I'm going to have to have everything ready to go at 5 Central

Good luck to you!

Oh my!

Since you will be up anyway, I'll just give you my info to book online and I'll sleep in

I'lll be right here with you!! I have my first plan finalized, I'm just making a back up list now. I'm so nervous (seriously, what is there to be nervous over?? LOL) and can't wait to have these ADR's out of the way. I'm hoping that I 'guessed' right on the park hours, and am really hoping the release of the December hours doesn't throw me into a tail spin that makes me redo all of my work!!!

Good Luck to all!!

Pixie dust to you all!

I hope you all get what you want. Did mine this morning, got all I wanted including Le Cellier.

A helpful tip: If you can open multiple tabs and set all them to the restaurants you want. Get signed in with res. # and have things written down (especially if you are booking out of order).
Hit refresh right at 6am and go to work!

Another tip: Don't panic if your +10 doesn't open right away. Mine didn't and I moved on. My first picks were early in my trip, but the second adr the window had opened and the +10 was there. Guess it took it a minute to load.

Good luck to you all........and let's all pray we chose right based on last years hours!!

I have a dumb question...why do park hours matter? Will they cancel an ADR based on park hours?

Thanks for the tip! I had read that yesterday, and thought, what a great idea! I hadn't thought of that one! And, you realize the Dec hours were just posted on the Theme Parks and Attractions, right? Threw me into a tizzy....

Nope, it just helps with the planning. Some of us simply cannot manage to plan (well, we can, but we don't like it) without the park hours/emh/parade&fireworks schedule......

 

[Nadjalu]

Nope did not know they posted Dec's hours.

Why I wanted to know hours before booking or worried I guessed wrong is, I would like to be at the park or close to the resort to go to dinner.
Just makes life easier. Go to MK eat at MK....simple.

Been there done that.................


I wouldnt worry too much about getting the ADR's you want. I did the same thing and it all worked out GREAT!

 

[MIC-KEY]

Nadjelu---how did you get Le Celier? Must have been in your +10 date range maybe? I was on at 6 am today and ready to go and NOTHING for the whole week.....! Nothing even for the Candlelight Processional except lunch at LeCelier. :-(

Mick-y, all I can say it was a blessing. That was my first pick, I started with that one. On the second try (time posting) I got close enough to grab one. I put in for 7:30 and got the 8:40 slot.

And I can't find the hours that are posted??????? Help!!!

What day and time are you shooting for? Just curious....I still haven't finalized my itinerary. Since they posted the hours, now I am all discombobulated.......

11/30 for Breakfast...the earlier the better. It is my Birthday and it will be both of my kiddos first day EVER in Disney. There will be six of us because my parents are coming too. It just sounds so magical to dine in the castle on your first morning!

hope this works!
