Those of us who are going end of Nov/ Beginning of Dec

[alicat07]

I see that we are ALL in the same boat as far as certain reservations! I am arriving 11/28 and checking out 12/4. Le Cellier was pretty much impossible to get at the 180 mark for dinner. We do have 9 people in our party so that may be part of the reason. And I just read that someone had trouble getting reservations for Fantasmic as well!

Just to let you all know, that is the week that Pop Warner is there. The rep we spoke to when we were trying to book ADRs told us that that is probably why we are having trouble getting reservations. So just a heads up. I am going to keep trying, I'm hoping to get some reservations once people start cancelling LOL...

Pop Warner doesnt start until 12/4 so why the problems 11/27 to 12/3? thats the week we are going also

 

[JenniJ]

I called the morning of the 180 day mark and got all the ressies I wanted (7am CST). I few minutes off of the exact time I was hoping but it will work.

However, we are not booking too many palces and I don't think they are "hot ressie" restaurants. We booked Boma for breakfast, Sci-Fi for lunch, Crystal Palace and Donald Safari both for breakfast. DH and DS are BIG breakfast eaters!

Pop Warner website states they are there from 12/4-12/11.

Sending Pixie Dust your way to get the ressie you want!

Thanks for the info guys! IDK what he meant then...he said that its a great time to go because the parks will be empty during the day bc while the resorts are booked, they kids will be at practice during the day so the lines will be fantastic. I am hoping he is right!

If your problems are mostly at Epcot, remember they're likely setting aside a certain number of tables for Candlelight Processional packages (which aren't available for booking yet)

 

[dawnmommy]

I agree that the issue with Epcot restaurants is the Candlelight Processional. Pop Warner doesn't start until the 4th, and the kids aren't really booking up Table Service restaurants.

now, I would avoid the resorts they are staying at, but that is a separate story

 

[alicat07]

I thought the CP went through the end of December as well? Oh well. I am going to try again when they release those packages, maybe I'll have better luck.

 

[laliwalden]

Hmm, we are going 12/4-12/12 (right in line with Pop Warner ) and I didnt have any issues getting our ressies.

I got everything we wanted. And some were larger parties of 5 and 7? Hope you are able to catch a spot you want!!

Does Coral Reef participate in this? I am having a hard time getting the time I need -- nothing around 5, the earliest is 6:30. We will be there 12/5. All the other ADRs were the time I wanted.

 

[ToyStoryBo]

Our dates are 11/30 - 12/8, and I got all the ressies we wanted also, and at the exact times I asked for them!!

Didn't I read somewhere that they were going to offer some sort of "dinner package" associated with MVMCP this year.....or did I dream it?? lol

Coral Reef participated last year so they probably will this year as well.

The "dinner package" you read about was probably the Candlelight Processional Dinner Package" .

 

[1971DBday]

No problems getting any of our reservations:

Chef Mickey's
CRT
Le Cellier
Teppan Edo
Coral Reef
Jiko's

Still trying to decide on a romantic night out for myself and DH and whether or not we want to do the Luau or Ohana's.

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

We didn't have problems either (12.1-12.8), and that includes two pre-opening breakfasts at CRT and Tusker.

 

[Nafinegar]

I basically got what I wanted. Close enough that I'm quite happy

Garden Grille

Le Cellier lunch (probably will give this up if I can get a CP package)

Biergarten - we got it at 6:15, a little later than I wanted

50's Prime Time - no dinners available, so we got lunch and we will eat counterservice while waiting in line for Fantasmic

Crystal Palace

Whispering Canyon

1900 Park Fare

Tuskerhouse character breakfast

Ohana

I was able to get all reservations I wanted except Le Cellier for dinner at a decent time. I am going to keep trying periodically, we have a large party so I think that doesn't help. Good luck with all ur reservations!

I think Le Cellier is your issue, not PW. We have a GG of 10 (although our ADRs consist of 6, 9 and 10 depending on date), and we're all set.

This was the only reservation that wasn't at the times we wanted. We switched to Tutto.

I couldn't get Coral Reef for dinner at all on 12/2 when I tried at 180 days. No dinner openings at all.

 

[Shih-Tzu]

Any idea when the CP dinner packages can be booked?? I'm holding out for my Epcot ressie until I know....I'm going that week too, but we aren't doing very many TS - but I guess I better get moving on the ones I want....

 

[mrsksomeday]

I think many of us are waiting

on the release date for the CP dinner packages.

It is driving me crazy.
