Order for making ADR's?

[P&B's Mom]

I am almost 1 month out from making ADR's. First trip to WDW with family of six--DH, DD(9), DS(5 & high-functioning autism), my mom (62), my dad (66 & diabetic), and me. We will be at BCV June 8-15, 2008 and on DDP.

Table service is very important for my family and hopefully will get most of our requested ADR's . I know that I have to call 180+ days from trip right at 7 a.m. EST. My question is, does order matter? Which ones book the quickest? Of course, there are certain ones more important than others, but about five of the following ones are "must do" for our family in order for EVERYONE to get something they want!

We plan on eating mostly light breakfasts in our room, CS for lunch, back to BCV for SAB, and TS for dinner. We hope to eat dinners early (5-6 p.m.)

This is our preliminary list for the six of us, otherwise noted as different (will split up family during some meals):

CRT--prefer breakfast, but will take lunch (the earlier the better!)
Cape May character breakfast at BC (as early as possible)
Cape May Clambake at BC for dinner
Garden Grill Dinner (only 2 adults/2 children)
Crystal Palace Dinner (only 2 adults/2 children)
Hollywood & Vine Dinner Package at MGM
Norway Princess Dinner
Chef Mickey Dinner
LeCellier (2 adults only)
Yachtsman SH (2 adults only)

If you were me, which ones would you definitely try to book first once you have a CM on the phone?

CRT and Chef Mickey's will probably go the fastest. I would book those first and then the Fantasmic Package and CMC.

After the ones listed by pp, I would book Le Cellier next then do the rest.

CRT and LeCellier!

 

[Hopefully]

I too would do CRT followed by LeCellier, Chef Mickey's and then the rest.
Have you planned which park on which day and based your ADR's on that? It makes much more sense to book an ADR near where you will be that day, rather than it does to be travelling all over the place to make an ADR.
Have a Great Trip.

This is the order I would make them in- CRT, Le Cellier, Chef Mickeys, H & V for the Fantasmic package, and then the rest in no particular order.

Thanks for the advice!!!! Looking forward to 12/11/07 @ 7 a.m.!!!!

Doesn't it have to be 180 days from the actual day you want to dine? so, you would have to call on separate days for each ressie? Can someone clarify for me?

I've never really had a problem booking less than 180 days out (except for Cindy's breakfast!, which we called at 180 days and got it!) But with SO many guests using DDP, they do fill up quickly now.

whats the chance of getting reservations for the castle for Cinderella dining 30 days out?

I was under the impression they go the first available date they come available.
