What Dining Reservation is your Nemesis?

[bsj1701]

The hardest for me has been dining with imagineer. Available Monday, Wednesday, Friday only. And only takes 12 folks at each sitting. It’s a lot harder to get than a lot of other ADRS

Agreed, I did this once. Totally worth it, keep trying!

Ohana dinner for sure... I don't remember having as hard of a time two years ago with this one. Currently I have a 3:45 slot booked because a 9:30pm dinner is just a big nope for us. But 3:45 is a really really early dinner so I am hoping something later will eventually pop up!

Today was my 180 day mark and one of the ADRs I wanted was an ‘Ohana dinner reso at 6pm. My TA could only get either a 4:10pm or 8:25pm. She booked the 4:10 but only for 3 people (we are 4) because that was the best she could do.
I called WDW dining to see if they change it from 3 to 4 people and she said she couldn’t for a 4:10pm reservation because there wasn’t availability. BUT she did have a 6:25pm for 4 people so I got that. MUCH happier with that time slot. And I don’t know where she got that either because definitely wasn’t available on MDE app.

Disney's reservationists, TAs, and you and I, are all using the same pool of availability; sounds like a ressie was thrown back in while the CM was checking for you.
Glad you got what you wanted.

Wow never knew Sci-Fi was that popular, last trip we went there and the kids loved it but we were so full we literally just looked at the food. This trip in Aug was able to get it when I wanted, go figure.....

We’re searching for a California Grill brunch for August. Keeping my fingers crossed we find one!

I just booked a somewhat last minute solo trip.

I’m looking for California Grill brunch. On Mother’s Day.

I think I have a better chance of winning an Olympic gold medal.

Errrr THAT does sound like a hard ADR to get for that date but you never know. Go ahead and sign up for a few reservation finders.
Hoping for some pixie dust for you.

It has been awhile since we were last at WDW and have a trip planned for October. How do you sign up for reservation finders?

I planned a quick trip for June 7-14, and I would really like to surprise my daughter with lunch at Beaches and Cream. Can't find a time for any of the days we'll be there. For some reason, she just loves their burgers and desserts! I'd love to let my granddaughter see when they serve the kitchen sink to someone.

Last year we snagged an Easter reservation for 5 people a few days before using the touringplans ap. Hey, you never know...

I can't get one for Tiffins on 8/22. It's so weird, I think the restaurant is closed that day. Any other day there are times available.

I have a Dining with an Imagineer for September 25 for 2 I’m going to cancel.

A Saturday or Sunday evening at California Grill late enough to see the fireworks there. My luck seems to be about 50%.
