Agreed! I think keeping them together would be a really great idea
Same here, I have never had a problem getting ADRs. I got all of the hard to get ones right at 180 days and never had to stalk. I right now have 2 extras booked that I know I will drop once I figure out plans. This year we were forced to buy park hoppers to get free dining, so I must say, having those takes some pressure off knowing I don't have to set any days in stone.We've never had issues getting our resies either. I got everything I wanted first crack and it did include some tough ADR'S. We did have 2 CRT and 2 BOG for a time until we could coordinate what we wanted when. I guess as mean as it sounds I don't take into account anyone else's vacation when I am planning mine, but I do release the extra ADR'S as soon as I know vs never canceling and then just paying the no show fee because I can. To me that is selfish, not holding a few resies until you firm up your plans. Again WDW implemented the wonky prebooking rules so I do what I have to do to ensure we get what we want, like I would if I was vacationing anywhere else in the world. There is also a service that will watch for openings 24/7 for a small fee. It is called bookingbuddy. I know many who have used it and they all were able to snag their coveted resies with them. That is another option. I'd rather pay a few dollars rather than spend day after day online. It would be nice in the future if WDW just switched all adr's and fp to the same day. Would make things much easier.
I'd definitely say that's the most appealing part of the hoppers. Leaves a ton of flexibility in dining for the eveningSame here, I have never had a problem getting ADRs.

That is a great idea. FP opens up 181 days before your arrival day. Dining opens up 180 days.It would be nice in the future if WDW just switched all adr's and fp to the same day. Would make things much easier.
181 and 180 is too close. Especially if FPP is at midnight and ADRs are at 6 am. However I would be okay with making them closer together though.
This thread is having the opposite effect on me than what was intended. I feel like I don't have enough ADRs now. However I do not have too many must do FPP that I want to get, so I am not going to worry about.
I do think people need to remember that ADRs are not a need. You may need one to eat at a specific restaurant at a specific time, but if you can't get it there are other options. You will not starve.

I can understand having a couple ADRs that are "must do" and you will try really hard to get. However some make it sound like every meal is a must do experience. There are lots of options and most people will never be able to do them all, especially in one trip.
