Which restaurants, times, table size, etc. are hardest to snag?

I'm curious about how people prefer to dine. I just booked a whole bunch of ADR's during free dining and the F&W Festival with no problem at all. I guess I'm the only one who like to eat dinner after 9pm? Coral Reef was sold out - didn't know it was so popular! So, I'm just wondering . . .

Which restaurants are the hardest to get an ADR at?

What time slots fill up the fastest?

Is it harder to get a table for 2 or a table for 6?

Le Cellier is hard to get a reservation at, I had to call back a bunch of times before I could find a cancellation and get myself in. And CRT is REALLY hard to get a breakfast at!

I agree with vickalamode. Also, in my experience, the 5-6 slot seems to fill up faster at restaurants. Which is fine because we like our dinners around 7.

Le Cellier is VERY hard to get an ADR at! I tried to get one for a party of five for lunch, and nothing was available for our entire trip!

Another vote for Le Cellier. I've seen posts from Dis-ers who couldn't get LC ADRs for their entire week long stay. Good luck with your ADR plans!

Larger parties are harder to get bookings for- anything over 6, Disney seems to have very few tables for.

We've always had our pick of times and dates for parties of 2.

Seems like certain places go through popularity cycles- a couple of years ago, Coral Reef wasn't hard to get into at all (used to get bad reviews), but it seems to have become very popular this year. Le Cellier is very in vogue right now, so it is extremely difficult to get an ADR.

CRT has actually gotten easier to book. By upping the price, making it a prepaid meal, and adding the Princesses to lunch (and, to a limited extent, dinner), it has become a place that you don't necessarily have to jump through hoops to get. Still a hot ticket, but not impossible, as in years past.

I have never had a hard time making ADR's...but I have always called out 180 (and once 365 for HDDR). We also like to eat lunch at 11:00 and dinner at 5:00. I like to eat at the "off" times, then hit the rides again when everyone else is eating. Plus.. it's easier to get a CS table! You don't have vultures circling your table while your eating... and sitting at your table before you are finished!

I had a hard time getting Brown Derby in Feb. We stayed concierge that trip though and they were able to get us in before we left. As a side.....we ended up canceling the ADR 'cause of all the yummy club level food!

We have had a harder time w/ CRT since the price change et al. The one that I ALWAYS have trouble with is LTT for dinner. That's just me, though.
