Tips to snag that hard to get ADR?

[TheRatPack]

Okay.....as I said in a previous post, we had to shorten our trip a few days and the only thing it messed up was the ADR we had at Harvest Grill. Do you think there is any chance that I'll be able to get another one for December?

And any tips (other than stalking the online ADR system ) that you can share?

Thanks

stalking is good.....hahaha.

Really just keep checking......when we went in september.....we could not get a few at first that we wanted ....but still got some reservations at other restaurants.......hubby kept on checking and voila......there were a few openings at Le Cellier......where we wanted to go for his birthday......so yes ....stalking is good....the minute you see something you want jump on it or call the dining hot line and see if it is still available......that worked better for us..
have fun

I second the motion for stalking! Persistence pays off - even if it carries through to the podiums/guest services in your resort. We have snagged a few sought after ones like that in peak season.

The more you are "there" the more chance you have of being at the right place at the right time .... i.e. when a table opens up.

Keep trying...I do have to say that the Garden Grill was the hardest ressie for me to snag for my Dec 12- 18 trip....Never had that one be difficult before

Persistence pays off. I agree with everyone else. I booked my ressies around 80 days before but could not get Le Cellier, 'Ohana dinner, Chef Mickey's, Donalds Safari breakfast. I checked everyday and now I have ADRs to all!! Keep trying!
