Our October ADR's

[mcbj]

I booked all our ADR's for our trip October 1st thru 8th. We are get in late on September 30th so I was able to book this morning. I was a little anxious about it this time, it was my first time using the on-line system and there are 13 in our group. Here's what I got:

10/1 Kona Breakfast
10/2 Cape May Dinner
10/3 Chef Mickey's Dinner
10/4 Boma Dinner
10/5 CRT Lunch and Teppan Edo Dinner
10/6 Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package
10/7 Le Cellier Lunch

The hardest to get was the Cape May dinner, I had to make three seperate ADRs, one for each family, but the are all within 5 min of each other. Also had to make two seperate ADRs for CRT and Le Cellier, but they are at the same time. The MM Fantasmic package was earlier than I would have liked. But all in all I am very happy! And since we have such a big group I don't thing I will be tinkering with things this time around, I can sit back and count the 180 days until we leave!

Congrats! We are going later in October, I've been nervous with all the buzz around Sept. bookings, but then i realized free dining used to be offered in Sept., I don't think it's ever been offered in Oct. 2011 yet. Can I ask what time you got Mama Melrose's for? And were you able to book that for Fantasmic online (I'd read some posts where Sept./Oct. dates weren't showing up in the system in a timely fashion). Thanks, and enjoy!

It is at 3:50...earlier than I would have liked, but I think it will all work out, we are planning to go to the water park that day (this will be our second water park day), so if we get there at 10:00 and stay until about 2:30, change at the water park and put our gear in a locker we should be fine. It may even work out better, we can hit a few things after dinner before Fantasmic.

No, I was not able to book this on line, I had originally booked a 5:00 for the 13 of us, called and was hoping to get it converted to a Fantasmic package, but I had to take the 3:50. When I tried to book on line, there were no packages past August.

Good luck with your planning!

You can book online. The calendar to select the dates isn't set up past August I believe. To book online select Dining Events, select Fantasmic DP and then type in the date like 10/02/2011. They offer lunch or dinner, I selected a time (not lunch or dinner). It will then give you the restaurants with times available.
