ADR Day Four:
I'm not going to lie, I went into ADR day four with no sense of joy whatsoever.
I was still mad at Lady and the Tramp and seriously PO'd at Disney for forcing us to book 6 months in advance and not having the actually facilities to actually do it!
It would be some much easier to just do it maybe a month or two before then maybe their stupid system might actually be about to cope! Gahhhhh!!
Okay. Mini rant over!
So there I was, not looking forward to facing off with L and T again, but as I am a glutton for punishment I thought why not try this BOG thing again.

I opened the page, searched, found a time of 5:10pm (on the day we are thinking of doing MNSSHP no less) let's try and book this sucker. Click.
Holding my breathe….
YESSSSS!!! I got it!!
No L and T! No fake MDE apologises! I got it!
Okay! Let's try something else...
Got that too!
What about this???????
Everything’s coming up Lu!
I managed to get everything I wanted at the Poly AND CR!!! Woot woot!

By the time I finished I was pretty much back to not hating Disney and everything associated with it!
But really I was pretty much over ADRs by that point. Good thing I had another ADR day to go!
ADR Day Five:
When ADR day five came around I wasn’t really all that concerned with what I got.

The only thing I was sort of concerned about was CRT (do I smell foreboding?
)
But other than that I was feel pretty Que Sera, Sera and Hakuna Matata about the whole thing.
Can you see how much that whole Lady and the Tramp thing affected me?!

As CRT was the one I was mildly worried about I tried that first, the only time they had the day I wanted it was 5:35pm.
Now this was both a good thing and a bad thing, on the good side like I mentioned earlier you can't eat at MK after 6pm so this was a good time on that score.
On the bad side this was a day where time might not be on our side. We technically would be at Disney this day so I means getting back to OKW, getting changed, bus-ing it to MK to get to CRT by 5:35pm...in theory it's do able. In theory...
I booked it anyway! Thank goodness we had the DDP so I didn’t have to pay the full amount up front!
Weirdly I didn't actually have all that many ADRs planned for our time at OKW, which is silly since this is our stay with the most DDP credits.
This ADR day turned into more of a moving stuff around then booking new ones day.
This brings us to my two struggles for this ADR day.
The lesser of the two involves La Nouba. Now I didn't realise that they aren’t doing any shows for like a week which, you guessed it, was exactly when I had planned for us to go.
Time for plan bazillion and three, well technicality plans bazillion and three, four and five!
At the time the only day I could book La Nouba would be 17th September. By some quirk of fate I already have an ADR at Raglan Road that night. Not at a doable time thought. Surprise surprise. So I could move RR up and do La Nouba that night or wait and see what dates they announce in October as I could do it on 1st October if they had performances that night and switch our ADR earlier.
That leaves us with my last (okay maybe not my last but I will get to that) ADR issue. That CRT ADR.
After thinking it over I decided it would be to much of a rush to try and get to CRT by 5:35 (it would have been fine if you could get past 6pm!) so I looked around and found an ADR on 2nd October at 5:10pm which would work out much better as we don’t have any concrete plans that day.
Sure I already had an ADR for Artist Point at 7:45pm but I could just swap that to the day we were going to go to CRT originally! Sorted! Click!

Oh. Hell. No.
“We are sorry for the paws”
Seriously Lady and the Tramp.
Okay. Don't panic. It might just be because I already have an ADR and they are holding my DDP credits, maybe you can't have two?
Sounds plausible, right?
I'll just change our current ADR...oh...okay...apparently you can't do that.
I'll cancel it instead! That will be fine!
Expect, of course, when it wasn't.
“We are sorry for the paws”.
You know what this is my billionth one of these messages I'll just call Disney Dining!
Great! I get though to a lady who sounds like she is from Texas, she needs my hotel confirmation number, I can do that its---hello? Texas lady??
AH!! Fudge donuts in hell!!

The line is dead. Fan-flipping-tastic! Redial...oh yes hello other nice lady from Texas? I would like to book CRT on 2nd October 2016, yes I know I need to be 180 days from check in, I am, my res number? Sure! You are checking now? Great!
What do you mean you keep getting an error message?
OH MY GOD YOU GUYS LADY AND THE TRAMP ARE EVIL AND HAVE TAKEN OVER THE WORLD!!!
What was that? You want to but me on hold for a ridiculous length of time then tell me you have no idea what is wrong?
Yeah no thanks I'll pass this phone call already cost me like £30! Bye!

I guess I'm on my own!
So I tried a different day and score! I found a 4:05pm ADR on a different (earlier) day! It's not the best time but it will do! Click...
......
Booked! So I moved Artist Point back to where I moved it from (I'm sorry Artist Point I have moved you like 50 times!
). I logged out and just let it all alone….yeah right!!
I looked a fewdays later to see if I could book CRT for 2nd October and not only did it book but I got 5:20pm! Woo hoo!! Sorry Artist Point! You are moving again!
