UGH! Information overload!!!

How in the world do you decide what places you want to eat? There are so many choices in each park that it just boggles my mind.

Also, is there a place that lists each restaurant and whether it's TS, CS, snack, etc (seems like I saw something somewhere)? That would make my life much easier since I really only have to plan for the TS.

Hi! Last year was our first trip and I was pretty much clueless... I know how you feel! I went to Allears (found during one of my extensive WDW searches) and looked at all of the TS locations/menus and chose where we wanted to eat, factored that into what park/place the TS location was, and planned our trip accordingly.

When are you going? You can make ADR's in advance, and it is in your best interest to do so as quickly as you can!

Last year, we started making ADR's for an September (last days in August and into early September) in May, and I never was able to get CRT, Le Cellier, or Coral Reef.

This year, we did the "180 + 10 thing" and I did get everything I wanted, however, recently we tried to switch a couple/add a couple and could never get a September ADR for Chef Mickeys (breakfast or dinner, lunch was available), nor could we get anything at Le Cellier, Coral Reef, 1900 Park Fare, or Ohana.

Allears is a good place to get WDW info on TS & CS locations (the Dis rocks, but then you know that, but Allears has "clickable" lists that opens up to menus and prices). I found my TS info on there but most everything else I learned/researched about WDW I found on here! Happy planning!

You will make it! Don't make it harder than it is, the allears menus are great, and the Disney PDF will tell you everything you need to know!

Thanks!

I knew about AllEars, but they don't designate on all of them if they are TS, CS, etc. and there are too many to click on them all. Thanks for the link to the Disney PDF that will help a ton. I printed it off.

We are going Feb 7-13 so I won't be able to make ADR's until October due to the upcoming changes in the reservations system so I still have some time.

Anyone know which ones are still taking reservations at 180 days for those of us that aren't going to have the usual 180 window? I'm pretty sure HDDR is one (which I am planning on going to), but I think there are a couple of other ones too.

Thanks again!
