Paid in full date vs. opening reservations

[Mandi Bartz]

Has anyone had any luck grabbing a new ADR when your 30 day paid off hit. I've read that it is a good day to look since those who haven't paid have been canceled. I'm just looking to grab an earlier breakfast on our AK day, I look daily. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with it. Thanks

Yes.

While there can be an uptick in availability at the 30 day mark, there are cancellations all the time so keep checking online regularly. You can also subscribe to the cancellation thread for the month you are going, but be sure to read the rules in the first post:

I was able to add a pre park opening CP Breakfast and BOG dinner after the 30 day mark in October of 2014.

YES!!! Keep looking!

Keep looking, even when on your vacation. The night before is when the hoarders will cancel good reservations so they don't get charged for ones they aren't going to show up too.

You might have been caught up with folks who were planning to do an AK day for RoL and/or booked ADRs there just in case they could get a RoL dining package at a later time. Since RoL is delayed and a new date hasn't been announced, many are probably still sitting on their ADRs just in case. You should keep an eye out for any announcements concerning RoL and a proposed new start date. Chances are if RoL is delayed until after your planned AK day - I suspect that some ADR times will open up.

Just curious, what day are you looking for? I may be cancelling mine (DH isn't too thrilled about paying that much for breakfast) But, I haven't decided yet.

Yes. And I've had even more luck getting an ADR for the more popular restaurants the day before. Persistence pays off!

Our AK day is May 25, I have an 820, was just trying to get the 8.

I got every ressie I wanted for an Easter week trip last year, planned only 3 weeks in advance. I checked online often before arriving, signed up for cancellation notifications when we arrived, and checked whenever I was bored in line, etc.

We are going first week of June. My ADR is for 810, so only 10 mins earlier than yours. Hope you get what you are looking for.
