Most people who go to WDW during the holidays are repeat visitors or know to book ADRs well in advance. We went last year (very last minute trip) during T-Giving week and got shut out of many restaurants. So this year I planned well in advance. I made a lot of changes back in July and there was TONS of availability, which I was surprised. Now there is NOTHING available.
The one thing I did learn from last T-Giving, is to call for ADRs while your there for a few days ahead. People cancel like crazy the week of, even the morning of. I was able to get dinner ADRs the morning of at 7am.
I think the number is *88 from any house phone to call WDW-DINE.[/QUOT
I was hopping that would be the case. I have been successful in the past in getting ADRs while on site, but was not sure due to T-giving. I made my ADRs in August and was fortunate to get very good reservations.
