November Positives!

I had no internet on my 180 day so I had to reserve everything by phone an hour later. I am very happy with all my November ADR times. I got:

Coral Reef (dinner)
Teppan Edo (dinner)
Be Our Guest (dinner)
Whispering Canyon (our only late dinner but it's the only day we can squeeze in Wishes so that's okay)
Yak & Yeti (lunch)
Boma (dinner)
 
I got 2 of the 4 that we wanted for November. Got trex and chef mickey's, but couldn't get CRT or BOG. Was on the computer at 6 am on our 180 day mark too. Hopefully, we will get both between now and our trip.
 
We got
Ohana breakfast (for 11!) and dinner (just 6)
Akershus
BOG lunch (would like a different day so I'll keep looking)
Boma
Via Napoli & Biergarten
Beaches & cream

I'm just still trying for BOG on a certain day but happy overall
 
We got everything right at 180. We got

BOG DINNER
CRT DINNER
OHANA DINNER
CP LUNCH
GG DINNER
CORAL REEF DINNER
CM BRUNCH
SCI FI
H&V LUNCH
TH LUNCH On thanksgiving
 

We're going Nov 12-19 and had specific dates/times we wanted and got everything at 180+10:

Akershus lunch
Cape May breakfast
T Rex
Tony's
H&V breakfast
 
We are going Nov 15-21, and were happy to get

Tusker House late breakfast (so hopefully we can try lunch too),
Akershus dinner
Sanaa lunch
Ohana breakfast (instead of preferred CP pre-opening)
1900 Park Fare dinner (instead of BOG we couldn't get).

Though the timing could be better for some, I'm excited for all of these.

We also have a Mama Melrose Fantasmic package for lunch that I'm not thrilled with. I wanted to do something really special as its my son's 4th birthday on the 16th, and the plan was for H&V lunch with the Disney Jr characters and Fantasmic package. Just not feeling like I have the "best day ever" feeling I was hoping to give him. Still holding out hope though, and happy I was able to get so many other great character meals!
 
Going Nov. 17-24th. I did get everything that I wanted at 180 days. However, I had to wait until day 4 to get anything.

BOG Lunch
Chef Mickey's breakfast
Ohana Dinner
Cinderella Royal Table Breakfast
T-Rex Lunch
H&V lunch Fantasmic Package
 
We are going Thanksgiving week. I was able to get:

Whispering Canyon (dinner)
Sci-Fi (lunch)
Plaza (dinner)
1900 Park Fare (dinner)
Tusker House (Thanksgiving lunch)
via Napoli (dinner but want to convert this over to a CP package when that opens)
'Ohana (breakfast)

What I was unable to get is a BOG lunch reservation on 11/24. I could have gotten one later in the week but those days would not work with our schedule. Still hoping we can snag a lunch or even a breakfast if they offer it. My DD really wants to go back. Then anxiously awaiting info on the new Skippers Cantina. We definitely want a dinner there if it is open!
 
We got
'Ohana breakfast
50's Prime Time Cafe for late lunch/early dinner (so we can enjoy the last day of F&W)
Crystal Palace dinner at 4:45 before MVMCP
Tusker House for my parents and kids, San Angel Inn for my husband and I
Cape May Cafe Clambake Dinner
Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast (can anyone say Mimosa's?!)
Biergarten for dinner

We got everything we really wanted. If we score a BOG we consider it a bonus and would change something but we are very happy with our plan! We do not know if we will ever get back there with my parents, we may, but these restaurants play homage to several trips we have had with them over the years. It is just not in the plan for several years and who knows where we will all be then. I hope we get another trip (or several) with them there, but I want to savor every moment with them there this time in case :)

Oh and several of them are with 10 people, so I feel blessed that we got what we wanted!
 
Our TA booked for us, and she did great! We have FD, so character meals were our main concern for the kids.

Tusker House (breakfast)
Ohana (breakfast)
Hollywood and Vine (lunch)
1900 Park Fare (dinner)
Crystal Palace (lunch)
Akershus (lunch)
and TRex for dinner on our arrival day

We had been aiming for a Chef Mickeys which we didn't get, and took 1900 Park Fare instead - and to be honest, I think we'll enjoy it more. The only other thing that we didn't get was Akershus as breakfast, but I'm planning to try to move it much closer to our trip. My kids are more likely to actually eat at a breakfast buffet than a lunch one, so it's just practicality for me. If it stays lunch, no biggie.

Would love to see if LTT opens when we are there but if not, that's okay.

Glad the kids are not interested in CRT or BOG - took some pressure off! ;)
 
We are going Nov 15-21, and were happy to get
