Too late for good ADRs? Spur of the moment trip.

[mommym]

Could you DDP experts offer me some quick advice? My sister and I are heading to the World on the spur of the moment Feb 25-28. Just the two of us and we can actually slow down at the World Showcase instead of flying through like we do with the kids. We definitely want to do the DDP as we are going to be doing the nice and leisurely thing but I'm afraid with it's popularity we may be out of luck with the offerings we want. We will probably stay close to the BWV, Epcot and MK for our meals. Does anyone know-are many things booked solid already? Last week when we were there I had a conversation with a disappointed DDP customer who hadn't done her prep work and was struggling to find some reservations. Obviously I wouldn't just show up and hope to get in but she was told at Le Cellier that it books 6 months in advance? Yikes...Thanks so much for your replies!

I think for 2 it will be easier to get a ADR than for 3 or 4. I would call tomorrow. LeCellier has Lunch too, Try Spoodles on the Boardwalk. We loved it.

No one knows if things are booked but Disney Dining; they are open tomorrow, just call and see what you can get! =)

(reservations CAN be made 6 months out, and LeCellier books quickly, but they don't book completely 6 months out - no)

Glad there are some other night owls out there! Thanks for the advice-Spoodles does look fun-would you recommend that for lunch or dinner? (I'm sure it's good at either time, but does one outshine the other in your opinion?)
My tummy is loudly protesting me looking at all of these menus but I need to save those calories it looks like. Thank Goodness they are open at 7AM for ADR's!

Spoodles doesn't serve lunch - just breakfast or dinner - so that's an easy choice! It really was a surprise hit for us. We loved it! Even if they offered lunch, I would choose dinner. The boardwalk is a bore during the day - NOTHNG going on. At night, it really comes to life. We had an earlier reservation, around 630, and by the time we finished at around 8pm the place was alive with activity. We spent another hour-1.5 watching the street performers, seeing the Epcot fireworks, etc after our meal.
