What is the earliest you have been able to check in for your ADR?

[ElenaJane]

I was able to get some ADRs I really wanted for an upcoming trip. However some of the times are later in the day than what I had hoped for. I have been able to check in early for an ADR plenty of times but I've never tried to check in like an hour before. Anyone been able to check in a lot earlier for their ADR?

TIA!

The earliest that we've check in has been half an hour early.
We did it at Hollywood & Vine, BOG, Tony's, Coral Reef, San Angel, Rose & Crown, and Boma in May.
We were usually seated before our reservation time.

We usually go in September and I've been able to get into a couple places way earlier than our reservation. Last trip we go into Le Cellier and Liberty Tree Tavern over an hour earlier and Le Cellier was a dinner reservation. They were very accommodating. I just told them we got through our plans earlier and would love to eat now if they could seat us. We were fine either way and figured it didn't hurt to ask. It worked out well for us.

It varies. We tried around an hour ahead of our Via Napoli and they seated us immediately, and knew we had three birthdays on our reservation. We got to 'Ohana breakfast almost half an hour early and they seated us with only a couple of minutes wait (it was for 8am, we got there just after 730). Only BOG wouldn't let us check in until 15 minutes before (we got there around 20 minutes before).

Great to hear! The only place I also had an issue was BoG for lunch. They were really strict, only 5 minutes early! I have just never tried an hour early, but I may roll the dice.

We are early to an appointment people in general and I walk FAST so we end up early a lot. Depends on where it is and when it is if you'll get in early. CRT or BOG any time you're not going to get into early. Akershus and Garden Grill you'll wait. Pre-park CP if you have an 8:45 you might.

It's never hurt us to be early, but if you check and there's a better time? Snag it. Things open up the closer you are.

I once got into my reservation at Chefs de France about an hour early. Out of the places we ate only BOG limited us to checking in no earlier than 15 minutes before the time. Our reservations were at Rainforest, Chefs de France, BOG, Ohana and Boma.

Great, thank you! It does seem like BOG is the strictest.
