What are your thoughs on the toughest dining reservation to book at the 60+ your length of stay mark.TIA
 
There have been a few over the years. Maybe Chef Mickey's breakfast, Topolino's breakfast, California Grill at times, 'Ohana at times, Space 220 (both rest and lounge)..... I'm sure others have thoughts, too.
 
Just recently booked Storybook Dining at Artist Point for 6. Could only make a reservation for 60+5 date.
 
Ohana, Space 220, and Art Smith's have been very tough for us the last few trips. Still haven't been able to get Ohana dinner or Space 220. And Art Smith was at 930 pm
 

I visit about 3-4 times a year (visiting my CM daughter). I always travel at busy times - Spring Break, Halloween, Holidays. I rarely make ADR's. Instead, I book same day, sometimes day before. My last trip was busy Thanksgiving Weekend 2022. Searching same-day dinner (beginning at 2pm) and looking for a party of 4 around 6pm, I found the following available on Friday (Black Friday) and Sat nights:

CRT
BOG
California Grill
Citrico's
Storybook Dining at Artist Point
Ohana
Citrico's
Tons of other choices as well

I also looked on Saturday for a Sunday morning breakfast or brunch, and found a reservation for Topolino's breakfast at 11 a.m., which I booked.

Sci Fi had availability every day I looked, for lunch and dinner.

Party of 6 would be more difficult, no doubt, but I bet you'd still have some good choices same-day.

I guess people cancel a lot. Pays to look last minute. No SciFi lunch available for me at 60+2 on a weekday.

Those are great finds
 
Just looked at dinner availability tonight at around 6pm for a party of 6. Came up with a ton. Best picks by park are:

MK:
BOG
Liberty Tree
Crystal Palace

DHS:
Hollywood and Vine
50's Prime Time

Epcot:
Le Cellier
Rose and Crown

DAK:
Tiffins
Tusker House

Of course a bunch more will pop up during the day as people cancel and switch plans, up to the 2 hour cancellation window.
 
I was just booking for 6 at 60 days out. I never saw Space 220, storybook dining or Topalino's. I did see openings for CRT and BOG which are supposed to be hard to get - and we did get Ohanas. I couldn't get Sanaa for 6 on the night I wanted but there were other nights available. I also wanted Homecomin - and didnt see it - but I hear if you get there early they save tables for walk ins. I am going march 3-6th and staying off sight which is a somewhat slow time. If you are going for later in March and not staying on sight it might be harder.
