The Early Bird Gets the ADR

[camdensmom]

I'm so excited. Today is the 90 day mark for our trip and I was on the phone at 7:00 a.m. It was a surreal experience for me. In the past we've never booked our trips more than a few months in advance and when you couple that with the old 180 day window it made for some frustrating dining.

I called today and got EVERYTHING I wanted and had my choice of times. WOO HOO! I think we may add the dining plan now. We were holding off because in the past we could only get odd times for meals and it wasn't worth it.

Congrats! I called today and got what I wanted too. Not many ADRs, but we're taking DD to the Princess Storybook Lunch, and she's thrilled about it!

Congratulations! That's great that you got all the reservations you wanted.

I'm writing a story about how to plan a last-minute trip (less than 90 or even 45 days away) to WDW when you're not a Disney insider, and one of the main sources of stress I've found when talking to people is the ADRs. It's nearly impossible to get ADRs when you don't plan way in advance!

We found that if we were patient enough to keep calling right up until the time we wanted to eat, that something would alway open up for where we wanted. We even scored an early breakfast at CM while on the bus from Pop to MK that morning! The key is to not give up!

I thought I was going to lose a finger from redialing the 407-wdw-dine # last year in hopes of a CM ressie for our last minute trip. After all the weeks of stress over it we walked up to the counter when they opened at 4:00 and were seated right away. The place was empty and we had amazing character interaction and fresh food. We enjoyed it so much that I specifically booked out ADR there for 4:00 on this trip.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone! I seriously feel like I won the lottery since it's been so hard to get ADRs lately.
