What ADR should I try to get first?

[lacrosse_lady72]

Ok, so here's the situation:

I am going to be making a TON! of ADRs on my 90 day mark for the following 10 days of our trip. So far it's 14 but it might be more. Some of them I am not too worried about because I either don't care too much about the specific time we go, or I know it's not one of the SUPER popular restaurants.

There are 3 I am worried about.

Our check-in date is Friday 9/18 (I know it's a long time from now but I like to have a goooood plan of attack)

The dining I am worried about are the following:

Chef Mickey's anything for breakfast, not lunch (assuming it's offered for FD again), not dinner Tuesday 9/22 (90+4)
Crystal Palace earliest, before 8:30AM Saturday 9/26 (90+8)
Donald's Safari Breakfast earliest, before 8:30AM Sunday 9/27 (90+9)


What order should I ask for reservations when calling?


Unfortunately they all need to stick to those dates... I am a little worried about CP being on a Saturday, am I just being paranoid, or is it something to worry about?

WWYD?
Thanks!

As far as I know Chef Mickey's and Cinderella's Royal Table don't fall under the 90 day rule...you can make ADR's for them up to 180 days...so I'd do them like, now! CRT seems to be the hardest to get, followed by Chef MIckey's... Then, as long as you call first thing on your 90 day mark you should be able to have your choice of days and times for everything else...

I'm not positive that these rules are still correct, but I made my ADR's for Chef Mickey's back in December, couldn't make the rest of our ADR's till Feb.. Good luck

Please correct me if I'm wrong oh wise Dis Veterans...

I am pretty sure, until June something CM's and CRT go to 90 days... now I am not sure... If not, good for me- one less thing to worry about later, I still have over 2 weeks for the 180 day mark. The second I booked the vacation, I knew what the 180 day mark was ... I was so sad when it changed.

I know when we made our Cinderella Castle reservations, we were also able to make our Chef Mickey's reservation. And this was at the 180 day mark, so (unless it's changed this month) you should be able to make your Chef Mickey resrvations even earlier. As far as Crystal Palace goes, I know it's a fairly big restaraunt with plenty of tables available, so I think you'll be okay. Also, I know many children are back in school in September, so I don't think it's going to be quite as hard as June/July would be to get your reservations. Anyways, happy planning!

OK, just so I don't go mad- I just called Disney Dining and they told me CRT & CM's will be booking 180 days for dining dates until June 17.

After, they will be at 90 days with every other restaurant.
