Made my ADRs for our Thanksgiving trip this morning.

[01Sweetpea]

All in all, was a painless process. Started calling at 7am... waited about 10 minutes on "hold" and spent the next 15 minutes making everything.

Got close to all the times I wanted EXCEPT Le Cellier, I wanted 5:45 or 6pm for 11/22 this way we could finish dinner in time to get a decent spot for IllumiNations, and all I could get was either 4:30 or 7pm... so I took the 7pm. The CM stated that Le Cellier has become VERY popular lately and that ADRs fill up VERY QUICKLY!

I may call back on Friday (which is the 180 day mark for Le Cellier) and see if I can get a better time, but if not... 7pm works.

So now the countdown begins....180 days until we are at WDW!!!

I just made mine also. The only issue I had is that we are a party of 8 and they can't guarantee me a table for 8 at Narcooses for Thanksgiving dinner. I have 2 tables of 4. This usually would not bother me except it is a holiday dinner and would like us all together.

Also for my Fantasmic package on Wed the 23rd I could only get 3:30 nothing later. I woulkd have prefered 4 or 4:30 but it is very hard with a large party

For our 11/24 Fantamic at MM I was able to get 4:20... a little early for me, but that was all they had. Also it's is for the FIRST showing of Fantasmic, not the second. Figure we'll have a light lunch, dinner at MM, and then head somewhere for a late snack.

We'll be there Thanksgiving week as well! I haven't booked my hotel yet (will be staying at CSR) so I was only able to make ressie for my first night - Crystal Palace. Where are you eating your Thanksgiving meal? I'm still up in the air (choices are WCC, Kona, Park Fare 1900, or the Garden Grill). Anyone have any input?

Hey Sweetpea,

Count me in on the Thanksgiving Train. I also called this morning and got everything I wanted but had to give a little on the times. Here is my list.
11-19 Sci-Fi Dine-In (lunch) 11:00
11-19 Hollywood & Vine (Fantasmic dinner pkg.) 4:50
11-20 Chef Mickey 6:00 pm
11-21 Big River Brewing (Boardwalk area) 7:30 dinner
11-22 Planet Hollywood (Down Town Disney shopping morning) 1:30 lunch
11-23 Le Cellier 12:50 (Thanksgiving Lunch)
To the OP thank you, thank you for this thread. As I was typing out my plans
I noticed I had 7 ADR's and I only needed 6. I had to call back and cancel the Crystal Palace. So if anyone was looking to go there for lunch on 11/20, it's now open.

I thought these were not available until 180 days out. Has that changed?

If you are arriving on 11/18 (as we are) you would be 180 days out for an ADR today. IF you are staying on property AND have a room only or package ressie already you can make ADRs for 180 + 10. Meaning you can make ADRs at the 180 day mark PLUS for 10 days afterwards, basically making ADRs for your entire trip.

We will be there for Thanksgiving, also. Staying in a cabin Fort Wilderness.

I called this morning, too. I got everything I wanted, and pretty much the times I wanted. Here they are:

11/18-Sat-dinner Ohana (1st time)
11/19-Sun-Princess Storybook Breakfast
11/20-Mon-breakfast Crystal Palace (1st time)
11/21-Tue-breakfast 1900 Park Fare (1st time)
11/22-Wed-lunch Whispering Canyon (1st time)
11/23-Thanksgiving-breakfast Donalds Dinner-Chef Mickeys
11/24-Fri-dinner Le Cellier (1st time)
11/25-Sat-Departure breakfast Chef Mickeys

Maybe we'll see someone with lime green that week.

When I made my reservations today the CM said it is now 180 days plus 10. You make your reservations at the 180 day mark for your whole stay, up to 10 days. We are checking in on 11-18 which puts today as my 180 day window.

[2tinksmom]

I called in yesterday (we're arriving 11/17) and got everything I wanted. I was reeeeeeally stressed out because I totally forgot to call @ 6:00 am like I usually do. I didn't remember until almost 1:00 our time (2 in Florida). DH thinks it won't be too crowded since when we made our ressies at the Wilderness about 3 weeks ago, we got our choice of rooms and we were booking 4! I told him to keep those happy thoughts! We're a party of 16 and all restaurants we're split into 3 tables except for Prime Time and there it's just two.

Friday 11/17 Whispering Canyon Cafe @ 7pm
Sun 11/18 Princess Storybook @ 8:35
Mon 11/19 50's Prime Time @12:15
Thurs 11/23 Garden Grill @ 12:20, Sci Fi @ 7:30 (dessert only)

BethyBelle,

I forgot to edit my post. I made my 1st set of changes (hopefully the last) Tuesday will be Primetime and Thurs. Boma. No one in my family liked Sci Fi's menu.
