Staying at Non Disney Resort: How hard is it to get all my ADR's?

[malcontent]

We are booked for the Swan August 7 - 17! Last year when we stayed at the BC, ADR's were a breeze. We got everything we wanted, when we wanted it, in one shot, 180 days out. (Of course, I changed them at least a dozen times afterwards! )

This year I will have to call on a daily basis for 11 days, since I cannot take advantage of the 90 + 10 rule. Does anyone have any insight as to what my chances are in getting everything I want, especially for the Le Celliers, Chef Mickeys, etc,?

I would think if you are organised and call as soon as they open you should have a good chance of getting what you want you might need to be flexible on the times you want !

Good luck

Well there is always a chance but even with the 90 +10 I could not get LeCellier for dinner. I was able to get lunch but not dinner. I'm not sure about Chef Mickey's I think you should be able to get one. All you can do is try you never know. Good luck!

it shouldnt be a problem to get the adr's you want as long as you call each morning....we are staying at the dolphin after the podcast cruise and i was quite annoyed to hear we couldnt make all our reservations at once, and was a little worried myself...but everything worked out fine, and we were able to get a table for 6 at cali grill, narcoosee, france, and citricos within 15 min of each time i originally requested.

I'm thinking it might be an advantage to you.

This new system (bookings made in June and after) required your room reservation. Then the CM has to verify EVERYTHING! Your address, phone number, package, etc... It's about 20 mins before you can even tell them the restaurant you want!

I believe when staying off site they only ask your phone number and zipcode. If this is true, you're in a better position than those staying onsite.

For 15 ADRs, I was on the phone at 6:58 am dialing and didn't hang up until 9:50 am!!! I'm not changing one thing!!

We had no problems when we stayed off site in December. Though, we're not big on ADRs because we prefer to go with the flow rather than plan but we managed two restaurants no problem, including Le Cellier for dinner. If you have any problems, pay close attention to the ADR thread for cancellations, plus keep calling back because non-DISers cancel all the time.
