Best dining finder site?

Other than TP and mousedining, what sites do people use for hard to get ADR’s? The only one we haven’t been able to book yet is Rose an Crown fireworks package. It doesn’t look like they released for our dates yet, but I don’t have a ton of time during the day to stalk the website for it to open. :grin:

I usually just search on my own and have had good luck doing that.

Here is my very brief comments on 3 of the common finders (and a recent topic you may want to check out)

++ @JenniferB1975 I have out performed any of the reservation finders I have used in the past, provided I am willing to devote the time to it.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate you sharing your experience. That is what I was looking for. :grin:

I use both Mousedining and TP. Sometimes Mousedining is better, sometimes TP. The key for me is to make sure I receive a text message, to guarantee I book the ADR quickly before it’s gone.

I’ve had good success with mousedining, moderate success with Mousekepros. Mousekepros is good for events as well, such as Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, tours at AK, Fireworks cruises, Savi’s/Droids, or fireworks parties.

I did the Dining Fairy last time and they got me Topolinos and Space 220 Lounge. And I didn’t have to do anything which was great. They did not offer the Rose and Crown package

BUT! I made a 8:05 dining reservation at Rose and Crown. When we checked in, I asked if it was possible to be seated outside to watch the fireworks. They said no, but to let my waiter know, and they would walk us to their private fireworks watching location. We shared a sheppard’s pie and they walked us out to the location 15 min before the fireworks started. It was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Thank you for that info. We are booked at Rose and Crown that evening already so we will try what you did if we cant get the fireworks package. :grin:

HI
What do you mean by outperformed? Are you willing to share your secret sauce?
Thanks so much

(I just need to add 2 people to existing reservations at Ohana and Tusker House. I was told by a person at Disney that they would just put in a couple extra chairs but sounds risky)

Welcome to the Forum.

No secret sauce just some diligence. On my last trip I want to improve the times for four TS meals and make a hard to get reservation for a extra experience. I had requests into 3 reservation finders (1 free and two paid) and each case I came up the the needed reservations before any of the 3 reservation finders.

What made it work is that the reservations finders cannot cycle through all their pending requests as often as I could using just the Disney Web site. I set up a dedicated browser window with a tab open for each reservation and “walked” through each tab clicking on the Search Times button throughout the day and evening. It also helps if you concentrate your efforts during the week after your ADRs and the last several days before your vacation because that seems to be when people tend to be making changes and ADRs become available. Also, when I got a “hit” I was instantly prepared to take advantage because i was already in the system.
