***Official August 2022 Thread***

We head down for Universal and off-site starting July 30th, but are checking into Disney August 5th, and we are booking our dining reservations tomorrow. We have a split stay (8 nights Riverside, 2 nights Beach Club), so we will book dining from the 5th -13th tomorrow. I'll be ready to go by 6:00am.

 

[OurLaughingPlace]

Got my ADR's today. We generally do one table service a day.
August 5th - Hoop De Doo 4:00pm category 1
August 6th - still waiting ... hoping for Akershus breakfast if this restaurant opens up
August 7th - Crystal Palace lunch
August 8th- 'Ohana dinner
August 10th- Chef Mickey's dinner
August 11th- Sci Fi lunch
August 12th- Trails End dinner
August 13th- Le Cellier lunch

Still to book (but on a split stay, so can't book until June 14th)
August 14th- Beaches and Cream lunch
August 15th- Cape May breakfast

***tried to book Rainforest Cafe August 9th for dinner at Animal Kingdom, but only showing breakfast and lunch times, so I will try again later.
***tried to book T-Rex August 6th for dinner, but not able to. We are Landry card holders, so I may just go that route for a reservation.

Took me about one hour. A few minor glitches, but overall, not too bad. I was up and ready to go online by 6:00am.

Sounds like booking ADRs isn't too bad. Was a bit worried from the dining board. We are only booking 2 ADRs though, one seems not too hard to book and the other is Chef Mickeys but it's on our departure morning so hoping not an issue. Am also hoping we're not making a mistake by not booking more as it's a good way to get out of the heat, but I wasn't sure how it would work with Genie+ (plus it saves a bit budget wise sticking to quick service)

Our date is in a couple weeks. It opens at 6am?

Yes, 6:00am. I had no issues with availability. I was 60 + 8 and started with Hoop De Doo, then 'Ohana, then Sci-Fi, then Chef Mickey as the ones I thought might be more difficult. Even when I put in a specific time, I usually got offered that time or within 5-10 minutes of that time. I was worried too from everything that I had read, but I didn't have any trouble. We're not doing Genie+ so that won't affect our dining, but I can see how it could be an issue. Good luck with your ADR's.

Thanks for confirming. Glad to hear you had no issues getting all your desired bookings!

We are going to be staying at pop century from august 9th-16th before heading to Unibersal First Disney trip ever and visiting from the UK So we’re so excited. Our ADR opens up tomorrow and the nerves are hitting! Hoping Topolinos breakfast opens up towards the end of our trip, haven’t seen it available at all in my practice runs!

I have no clue where to ask this - but for our upcoming trip in August - do you have any local businesses you recommend for gift basket deliveries? Preferably former cast members. I think the Disney floral website is too expensive for what you get. But I"m having a tough time finding an alternative.

check out www.vacationgrocerydeliveryfl.com

run by previous cast members. They primarily do grocery deliveries but they also do gift baskets.

Hello August travel peeps! We will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary (with our kiddos) at the Beach Club from 8/7-8/14 then heading to Universal for 2 nights at Royal Pacific. Just got my ADRs in, and we are so excited that we were able to snag Topolino's for our Anniversary dinner. And of course, we can't miss Halloween in August, so we'll be there for the first night of MNSSHP too. We have never stayed at Beach Club and are very excited to hop to Epcot for amazing food and beverages during the festival.

Surprise trip for our daughter. Staying at Pop Century August 21-27. We are coming from NY and will be spending 2 weeks in Georgia prior to Disney. One last trip before she begins 1st grade in September.

Is anyone going to attempt to make a Victoria and Albert’s reservation when they open on 6/20? My ADR window is a few days after that and I am interested in best methods for making the reservation (desktop browser or MDE app or call?). If anyone makes one I’d love to learn from your experience!
