What would you say is the hottest reservation (food, resort, DVC, other) in Disney?

Hardest reservation for me has been the Wishes TDP.
I have been very lucky with other dinner reservation at 180 days. Plan like crazy and then just know that there are certain reservation I can not change once I make them. At BOG in January, I had to take 8 pm time but, got in. DD was fine with missing Wishes.

I have given up trying to get a AKL value at 7 months - It happened easily years ago but, not in the past 4 years. I was quite surprised that I did get BLT st view at 7 months this year. I think I just got lucky.

Booked BOG for 9 people on 7/7/13 at the 180 day mark. My DD did not get a college internship she was hoping for, so decided to join us. Tried adding her to my reservation multiple times now with no luck Good news I was able to add her to all of my other ADR's. Also have BCV for Food and Wine and the first week of December, both made at 11 months out.

We were in a similar situation. I had a reservation for 3, but we ended up being a party of 4. The day of the reservation I went directly to BOG and asked if we could add the person. Having some experience with restaurant operations I knew they most likely would be seating us at a 4-top table anyway. That was exactly what they said, they saw no problem because a 4-top had been reserved for us anyway.

With your party of 9, most likely a 4-top and a 6-top has been reserved. They cannot add that person now, because the system is looking for a new 4 and 6 top table. It would be too risky to cancel the ressie for 9 to see if you could then snag a reservation for 10. I would try approaching BOG the same way I did and things will probably work out. Good luck.

Laura, thank you so much. Your suggestion makes perfect sense! I will be at BOG first thing on that day to add my daughter. No more stressing about it and calling every day

ANY signature dining on Valentine's Day! California Grill sold out within the first of the 180 days, and not much was left after that. Someone must have cancelled because I snagged the ONE Narcoosee's reservation during the fireworks. By the way, even if you're not going with a date the Valentine's Day menus seem to be much better than the rest of the same week.
