So I was done with my ADRs at 3:30 AM (EST)

I got up at about 3 AM, logged on HOPING that the system would really be ready, and it was! I didn't fuss with trying to be fancy (i.e. having multiple tabs open and all that) because I couldn't imagine I'd have too much competition in the middle of the night. I got all the restaurants I wanted but not the exact times. Here's what I got:

Th, Dec 10 - Coral Reef at 7:50 PM (really wanted 7:15 or so but I'll keep checking)
Fr, Dec 11 - Sci-Fi at 12:00 PM and 50's PT at 7:10 PM (really wanted 6:45 or so)
Sa, Dec 12 - Tusker House at 8:00 AM (am considering changing this to later; will my usual late-risers really be able to get out of bed and eat that early?!)
Su, Dec 13 - Crystal Palace at 6:55 PM (really wanted 6 PM since we're not going to the party; there was no red note that came up for the 6:55 PM time - and it's the only time that came up for me - so I booked it and will either check via telephone whether we'll really be able to eat then or switch the ADR to something else)
Mo, Dec 14 - Chefs de France at 12:30 PM
Tu, Dec 15 - Crystal Palace at 10:10 AM

Not too bad, eh? When the alarm went off, I wondered if I was crazy and considered just going back to sleep. Now that it's done, though, it feels good to be done with so quickly and easily!

The times aren't too far off from what you wanted so not too bad at all!!!

Okay - I couldn't resist continuing to fuss (already!).

I was able to switch the Tusker House to 10 AM (a more realistic eating time for my family), and all of a sudden a 6:05 PM time slot appeared for CP so I switched us to that one. Even if I don't end up getting a slightly earlier Coral Reef or 50's PT, I'm feeling pretty good!

NOW I'm going back to bed!!

What are you doing up in the middle of the night?! LOL

It was open at 3? I thought it didn't open until 6! I've been up with a puking 4yo since 2:30 and wishing that it was open. Grrrr... I could have done it then and then gotten a few hours of sleep, and maybe gotten the ADRs I wanted! (Not that it was tooooo too bad what I got).

Thanks, that is good to know. The online system has been making alot of changes and still are. I logged on today for my 2 night stay and it openned for 10 days. This was great when it did it last week for my split stay. Then I tried it another day and it didn't open. Glad to hear it's available earlier. I get up at 3:30AM for work every day, so on my next ADR day (Oct. 26th -- the day before the big day), I'll just get up at 3:00AM instead of 3:30AM to try to get online. If I can't I won't be in the office until 6:45AM, so will pick up from there (I have a 2 1/2 hr commute every day each way). If we had WiFi on the train it would be easier, but heck our cellphones rarely work because of the mountains and tunnels.
