Plan of attack?

[lanasboys]

We'll be in the World 9/10-9/20. Here are my "Wishes":

9/11 Ohana (D)
9/12 Chef Mickey's (D)
9/13 Les Chefs de France (late L or D)
9/14 Tusker House (B), Boma (D)
9/15 Sci-Fi (late L or D)
9/16 Le Cellier (late L or D)
9/17 Crystal Palace (B)
9/18 1900 Park Fare (D)
9/19 Ohana (B), 50s Prime Time (L or D)

The most important one for DS6 is breakfast with Lilo & Stitch. I also really want Ohana (D), Chef Mickeys (D), Crystal Palace (B), and of course, Le Cellier. We are very flexible for times and somewhat so for days. Any ideas for my order of attack when June 13 arrives?

Any thoughts on strategy here? Which ADRs to ask for first? Or date changes to make my chances better? I stressed so much over making my choices that it didn't occur to me until afterward that I better have alternatives in mind. Thanks.

I would start calling around 6:55am and keep hitting redial. I would ask for LeCellier first then Ohana B & D, then Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey. I had to rearrange my schedule. I put the hardest to get ADR's at the end of the trip. Good Luck!!

I agree! I was about to give practically the same advice!

Great minds think alike!

One more thing to add... just because I've heard of the tragedy of system crashes and lost previously held ADR's... maybe you can request confirmation numbers after you've reserved each of your favorites, or at least after the first 3-5 ADRs. It would be a shame to get through a list of 10-12 ADRs only to have the system crash, ADRs lost (because no confirmation numbers were given yet), have to call back, wait on hold another 45 minutes, and find that your ADR times were reserved by others in the mean time... sure it's a worst case scenario, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks. That's kind of what I was thinking, although I may go for Ohana even before Le Cellier, because Ohana is really important to the boys and I can take Le Cellier or leave it. I like it, but won't be devastated if I don't get it. I still have one more ADR to decide on -- am thinking Boma or Kona breakfast, or maybe Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex for dinner. Decisions, decisions . . .
