Which ADR's to make first?

[bweagle]

I've had no experience with the new ADR system yet, but have been reading a number of posts, and so I've got myself worried about what ADR's to make first.

I have always made my CRT first, but am now wondering if I shouldn't go for my Fantasmic meal at Mama Melrose first? We're traveling mid-to-late June (after Star Wars weekends)

Here's the order I was thinking of trying to get my ADR's reserved, do any others "sell out" quickly? If I attempt to reserve at 7:00 on Saturday (my 90 + 10 day) in this order should I be good to go, or should I rearrange?

CRT (br or l - still undecided)
Mama Melrose (Fantasmic Package)
Chef Mickey's (d)
Akershus (D)
Crystal Palace (d)
Tusker House (br)
Coral Reef (d)
1900 PF (d)
1900 PF (br)
Ohana (Br)

Which do you really want more? CRT or Fantasmic? I hope you get both, but with Fantasmic's limited showings to only three nights, there might not be any availablity left when you call. There wasn't when I called. Just in case, have a back up ADR for the Fantasmic Dinner Pkg.

Cindy's is always first! Breakfast sells out faster than lunch. We loved having breakfast at 8:05, we were done right in time for rope drop. Got on the first Dumbo ride without evening planning it!

CRT is more important to my family than Fantasmic, so I asked for Fantasmic last - knowing it wouldn't be available. I just wasn't in the mood to fight for every ADR I let that go.

I'd put Ohana breakfast before 1900 Park Fare breakfast. Due to Mickey being at Ohanas and not 1900 PF, that tends to book up faster. Of all our trips, this was the first time I was able to get Ohana's breakfast.

Make sure your phone has plenty of battery life and you have a pot of coffee handy. I was on the phone with them last Saturday for almost 3 hours!! I did get everything I wanted except for Ohana for dinner. Had to dine much earlier than I wanted to. But I did get in.

Good luck.

I called and got all my ADR's easily in a 30 minuted phone call for Memorial week/weekend. I booked in this order:
CRT, Fantasmic H&V, CM, Rose & Crown (for Illuminations show), Tusker House & Ohana's. Instead of doing breakfast at CRT, CM & TH around 8 AM, I took 10:30 ressies so we can stay at the parks until the end of the day. This will be the first time in 3 trips that that I hope the kiddos can stay up that late.

Your order seems fine, I would start with your absolute must have first and work down the line from there.

I would definitely book CRT first. Then F! & then probably Ohana/Crystal Palace.

My order was like this:
LeCellier
Crystal Palace breakfast
Tusker House breakfast

then the rest in order of arrival which were:
50s PTC
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Kona
1900 Park Fare

Even with booking LeCellier first, I still had to move the day for it & got a later time than I'd like. And in hindsight, I wish I had booked Tusker House before CP b/c I wound up moving CP later for a better time anyway. LOL!
