Opinions on my ADR"s for a last minute trip

[katie111]

We just decided last week to go to Disney in December. We'll be there Dec 11-19, staying at POR with free dining. It will be myself, my DH, DD8, DS7, and DS3. DH will be leaving us on Sun afternoon to go to a conference but will be returning on Wed afternoon. I spent the whole weekend trying to schedule my ADR's and I would love some opinions on what I have. Some of these we've done before & some are new.

Sat- Arrive at MCO at 10:00. Check in & head over to Epcot, ride a couple rides and dinner at Tutto Italia at 6:45
Sun- MK-Crystal Palace at 4:35
Mon- HS Hollywood & Vine at 12:45
Tues- Epcot- 12:40 San Angel Inn, 6:00 Boatwrights
Wed- MK, pool day, or Downtown Disney- Grand floridian Cafe at 6:30
Thurs- HS Sci-Fi at 2:45, maybe go to Mickey's Christmas party
Fri- Epcot- Chef Mickeys at 9:20 am, Coral reef 5:50
Sat- AK- Yak & Yeti 2:00
Sun- MK- Liberty Tree 1:45, flight at MCO at 7:00

Let me know what you think. I know we have more meals than table credits but I figure with young kids there will probably be at least one meal we'll have to cancel or we'll just pay OOP if we need to.

We love Crystal Palace and San Angel Inn.

Sci - Fi was ok, nothing spectacular but "ok". I say you should always do it once, but after that....something else is in order.

Have a good trip!!

HOW did you get all those great ADR's? Had unexpected trip fall into my lap a few weeks ago and I've been trying since Mid-October to get Chef Mickeys or Crystal Palace for breakfast with NO luck at all! Will be grandson's first visit and I can't wait to show him everything.

I WAS able to get a Hollywood & Vine breakfast this morning for 9:40 which wasn't my first choice (really wanted a Mickey character breakfast) but glad I at least got that!

If you have any secrets, please share!!

Honestly, I just kept trying the online system about 10 times a day. I would just go through each day for breakfast, lunch & dinner & saw what came up. I made some ressies & then cancelled them because I got something better. I also got lucky and found the Chef Mickey's on the cancellation thread.

Good luck with your search!

Was persistent and got CM's for breakfast for both parties and H&V breakfast for our party (think grandson will really enjoy both of them)! We're on QSDP so that will do it for our TS ADR's but SO please that I got both of these!

You'll LOVE POR! That's our favorite resort and where my DS and DIL are staying - DD, DGS and I will be at ASMovies (last minute trip and watching those pennies). That is a GREAT time of year to go also! I can't wait!
