No Park Breakfast ADR's in November??

[gorjus121]

I'm a little bit annoyed I am unable to find a breakfast ADR for 8 pp for early/mid November in either AK or HS besides the Rainforest Cafe. I really wanted something at one of the parks. Although I booked everything at 180+ days out, and managed to score some hard to get ADRs (which Im grateful) it just stinks that there's little to no availability if you decide to make changes to your park plan. I've been checking for the last month. Just venting--I will def keep checking but I think as others have mentioned this is due to Free Dining. I thought this time of year had lower crowds but perhaps there isn't enough restaurants?

Has anyone found ADR's for breakfast within the parks lately with less than 90 days to go?

We just put together a November trip a week and a half ago, we did get 3 breakfasts in parks . But I may be canceling one of them. Just waiting on an Akershus and once I get that one I will have an in park breakfast canceled. But I have been lucky last week and scored a bunch of great ADR's including BOG.

That's good to hear, maybe I should just keep checking some more. I have a decent size number of people so that may be contributing to it. We have an early ADR at MK a the CP but I made that as soon as my window opened. So we have 1. I was just hoping for another. But I have not had this problem the last two years visiting the end of April/early May. Both of those trips were booked 4-5 months out too. Thx.

No problem! I would think around the 60 day mark there will be more cancellations. Then for sure by the 45 day mark because that is when the packages are due in full.

I think with Wine and Dine going on the crowds are higher during that time.

I'm not really that surprised what with free dining, Jersey Week and the fact that there are only 5 in-park restaurants that serve breakfast (2 in MK, one in each of the other parks, and all of them are character meals.)

I didn't realize there is only one in AK & HS. That definitely limits the availability. Thx.

Even lunch time is limited at the two parks.

You're really only looking at two restaurants - Tusker and H&V. Maybe try somewhere nearby like Boma?

Yes more for early entry and convenience. We will be staying off site at this point of our trip so I realize it's limiting the availability. Worst case scenario we eat at our timeshare and get lunch in the park.

I'm having a difficult time too! We are going 11/16 thru 11/21, and I have yet to find an in-park breakfast ADR that is not rainforest cafe. We are a party of 2 adults, and I wanted to get a character breakfast so I can have some character time without feeling silly standing in a m+g line by myself. I have tried every day, sometimes twice a day, and the only thing I've found was Cape May (not in-park) at 10:40, which is way too late for breakfast for us, or H+V, but since wedding have littles, we aren't interested in. Also trying everyday for a CRT at any point durning our stay, or BOG on our MK day but nothing.

Last year we snagged a 5ish BOG reservation about 60-70 days before by checking early am online. I was literally getting ready for work every morning and searching and got lucky twice settling on the better time. It was between 5:45-6am EST I found those. I am going to try to do the same for another breakfast ADR.

We struggled to get ADRs at any time of day for our trip in Nov. We just booked a week ago and everything seems booked solid. It shocked me!! Hoping that isnt foreshadowing what the parks will look like!!! Eek!!!

It shouldn't be an indicator of the parks. Free dining is offered during most of November and the restaurants are often inundated with ADRs due to this promotion. We went in November last year and the crowds were manageable at worst, and frequently light. We chose to book our trip in November again for that reason.

I am struggling as well to find any in park character ADRs in mid-November. I keep on checking at least 2-3x per day. I keep on reading of people snagging times, but it seems like a needle in a haystack. Is there a better time of day to check on MDE?

 

[Burd6]

I am also in the same situation as most of you! I booked almost a month ago and have not had much luck with any reservations. I check like 10 times a day. I'm really hoping I get lucky closer to our date!

One time isn't better than the other. It really all boils down to luck and if you're searching at the precise moment someone else is canceling.

I'm looking for December breakfasts and having trouble. I don't think we are going to get the dinning plan since I think we will probably just eat on the fly, since this was planned inside the 180 day mark.
Fingers crossed I come across some cancelled ADRs!

 

[brandyk]

It is making me anxious about crowd levels. I cannot get any of the places we are wanting

 

[gorjus121]

I just scored a 6:50 dinner ADR at Hollywood & Vine on 11/11 for 8pp. So at least I have another option. Still hoping for an early breakfast ADR. Pays to keep checking.
