An exciting, crucial moment of planning a disney world vacation has finally arived! Today is the 180 day mark, which means today is the day in which I was able to start booking my advanced dining reservations. And let me tell you, I spent months preparing for this. I watched youtube videos. I read forums. I researched different websites. Listened to podcasts. All to get advice from the experts to better prepare myself. And let me tell you, I mostly ended up terrified and more confused. Mostly people were ranting and complaining about how difficult it was to get a reservation. And many complains about the site crashing And not working and not allowing people to make reservations for the whole trip. So you can understand why I was so anxious. So let me tell you how it all went.
Since reservations open up at 6 a.m eastern time, I got up at 4:40 a.m. This gave me enough time to go to wake up, bathroom, coffee, turn on my computer, and have everything ready to go. And then it was showtime! I had several windows open. Each window with the restaurant reservation page already ready to go. Let me just say.... it went GREAT! I was able to get every single ADR on our wish list. I had no issues. There was a minor hiccup here and there,that resolved easily by simply trying again, and it didnt affect my choices at all. Also, although I initially did not get the time I wanted for a couple restraunts, later at night, when i tried to edit my reservation, I was surprised to find exactly what I initially wanted. So in the end everything came out perfect! So I am so glad it was nothing like what I read in all those forums. I dont know, maybe it was because Disney cracked down on all those sitesthat were booking them and then reselling. Maybe that is what was mak8ng it difficult.
In any case, I am so glad I managed to book everything we wanted. I will share what the new itinerary looks like with the reservations.
Also, if you are interested, I can share with you some things that helped me book and that I think might also be helpful when booking your ADRs. Just comment below!
'Til next time, keep Disney dreaming!
