I know a couple of us were making ADRs today. How did you guys make out after the system misbehaved?

Personally, I'm tickled pink. We got: Crystal Palace, Ohana, BOG, Akershus, Sci-Fi, and Tusker House. Waiting on Biergarten to open up availability. And, I booked BBb for DD

Good Luck to those of you are making ADR'S today. I hope you get what you want! ******** pixie dust vibes

We made ours last week. The system was not behaving but we got just about everything we wanted including a lunch and dinner at BOG, Ohana, 1900, and H&V. Still having issues with Epcot reservations anytime after thanksgiving but I'm hoping those open up soon and we snag a Beirgarten.

Roll Call is updated!

I'm so glad to read that ya'll are having luck with your ADRs!!! My ADR day is this Sunday, and I'm super stressed out about it! Seeing that a few of you have gotten some great restaurants booked is helping me to relax a little bit!

Biergarten is on my list, too. What's going on with that? Do you think they're holding them back to make sure there are tables to book for the Candlelight Processional packages once they become available?

well I was really nervous about booking my ADR's cause I kept seeing threads about the scarcity of availability because of free dining. I woke up at 330 am on Saturday morning and couldn't get back to sleep! I was online right at 6 and am thrilled to say I got everything I wanted!

We got a Chef Mickey's breakfast on our first full day- the day after check-in. I got Akershus dinner, Hollywood and Vine lunch Fantasmic! package, BOG dinner on our last MK day (which was 8 days after check-in, earlier was available though, I just wanted that day).

The best is that the day of my dd's 7th birthday I got 11:30 AM BBB, 1:00 PM CRT, tickets to MVMCP for that day and 8:30 Wishes Dessert Party for dinner! And since I used a separate account for the party tickets and am entering the park on regular tickets, I'm hoping to double up on the fastpasses during that afternoon since we will have two tickets that day.

The sad news is- the bar has now been set too high and I will never be able to top this birthday

Actually, your ADR date is based on when you check-in at the resort. According to the roll call, you're checking in on Dec. 9th. So your ADR date is actually June 12th. The online reservation system will open up to you at 6am that morning.

That is good to know, thanks! We're only looking at a few ADRs, hopefully we will get the ones we want!

 

[DalmationGal29]

In preparation for making ADRs for our first park day, November 29th, I was also thinking about arranging for a cake at our dinner, it's my DD's 9th birthday . Hopefully at BOG but back up is WCC. Has anyone used one of the cake services before? Any reviews or pictures? Is there a website that I can check out their cakes? TIA!

So, since we are talking Christmas....hope it's ok to bring this up:


What's on your list of gifts for Santa to bring your kiddos?

My dd is getting American Girl Kanani. I am looking for McKenna that is not a car payment.

My DS will get the star wars infinity and some avengers legos to complete his set.

I am secretly hoping to see the big bang theory sets released before then. But, I doubt it

Is anyone planning to decorate their window with Christmas/Holiday stuff. I was thinking of using window clings since they won't (hopefully) damage or leave any marks behind. Anyone used window clings at their room?
