order to book in?

[Couple_nj_mice]

Tomorrow morning is my 180 day mark therefore I can start booking my ADRs. My questions is there an order that I should make the reservations? These are the restaurants I am trying to book:

Liberty tree tavern
Fantasmic dining with minnie
La Hacienda (table for illuminations?)
Sanaa
Be our Guest
Cinderella's royal table (breakfast before park opening)
Ohana
Chef Mickey
Garden Grill

Is there a strategy to how to book these in order to have the most success?

I would do BOG, CRT, OH, CM,Minnie, GG, SA, LTT and LH. Please be aware that you may not get the day you originally wanted at BOG, for instance. Good luck!

Book your furthest out first. You may have better luck getting Be Our Guest and CRT towards the end of the vacation.

Chef Mickey won't be too bad but do it third. Have a few alternatives isn. Ind when you book. We typically have two schedules based upon dining reservations.

Agree with LBlovesM: BOG, CRT, 'Ohana, Chef Mickey, H&V, GG and the rest in any order.

One note about La Hacienda since you mention IllumiNations. Some of the tables have an excellent view, others have an okay or partially obstructed view and others have poor to no view at all. You can make the request for a table with a view of IllumiNations when you check in for your dinner, but there is no guarantee. Posters have said they asked, but were not allowed to wait for a window table and had to take the next available table for their group's size.

Thanks! I got everything that wanted!

Purple figment: Yes I know not all the tables have view it is something I will have to try and ask for. Do you know if we are able to go outside some where at the restaurant to see if we are not at the window?

La Hacienda doesn't have a dedicated viewing area like R&C and as far as I know they don't encourage people to leave the restaurant during their dinner.
