Which ADRs to try for first?

[robndani]

My window opens in a few days and I need help with a strategy.

We aren't trying for any ADRs on our first day (day 1), but here's what I'm trying to get:

Day 2 - Chef Mickey's breakfast and BOG dinner
Day 4 - Hollywood & Vine lunch
Day 5 - CRT dinner

I think most of the other ADRs we want would be easy to get. Which should I try for first? Do reservations open at 6:00 am Eastern time online?

Thanks in advance in anyone with experience can help. We've been to Disney tons of times, but we're going with friends and on the DDP so I want to try to get these restaurants!

Your choices look great. I would start with PPO reservations if you are hoping to get those. We love CRT breakfast but dinner is great too. Other dinner V&A and O'hana are great and hard to come by the closer you get. Sci-Fi is another favorite in Hollywood Studios and can be difficult to get but you shouldn't have much trouble at the 180 day window (and 50's prime time is a great backup). If you are staying near Beach Club and want to do Beaches & Cream I would put that on the priority list as well because it can be difficult to get just due to the size of the dining room.

It does not look like you want PPO, so start with Be Our Guest. That one goes fastest.

BOG first - that is the hardest to get.

Start with BOG, that one usually goes first. Then CRT, CM, and H&V. Good luck!! ADR day is my favorite planning day!

My favorite too! I doubt we will get BOG being so early in our trip. If not we will try for CP. We've eaten at BOG so no biggie. I wasn't sure if CRT booked faster than BOG. The last time we ate there it was February so we had no problem getting in.

Thanks so much!

Day 2 - Chef Mickey's breakfast and BOG dinner
Day 4 - Hollywood & Vine lunch
Day 5 - CRT dinner

Based on what I see here, BOG immediately followed by CRT(but if CRT is more, then swap), then CM and H&V
