We are a party of 6 - me, my husband, son (7), daughter (5) and parents (active in their 60’s) - with the DDP on our first trip with kids (the adults have been before but not since 2006). Our ADR day is quickly approaching (Monday!) and I think I have finally taken everyone’s requests into account and figured out a plan. I’d love some feedback - I know some of the restaurants (i.e. Rainforest and Tony’s) aren’t considered the best but my son hasn’t asked for much and he really wants those.
Sunday – Magic Kingdom (6) – PPO BOG breakfast ADR @8
Lunch ADR Disney’s Festival of Fantasy Parade Dining Package @12
Friday – Magic Kingdom (6) – CRT breakfast ADR @9 - just for the girls
Saturday – O’hana breakfast ADR @10 (this one will be a party of 10 - friends from the area will join us)
I’m planning to be online at 6 am on Monday. I’m thinking the PPO BOG and PPO Akershus along with CRT and Trattoria are the ones I really need to worry about getting first. Is that right?
My ADR day was yesterday…staying 5/28-6/4. I actually got the opposite as you with Akershus PPO on Sunday and BOG PPO on Monday and I had no trouble. There are actually still some available I just checked so you should be fine! Let me know if you want me to check anything else…I can see up through June 4. Good luck!
Ours is for a party of 5, but I also added a second reservation for a party of 4 to our BOG for a family joining us that day and had no trouble. I just went in to MDE and checked for reservations for a party of 6…saw 8:00, 8:15, 8:30 and 8:45 for BOG on Sunday, and 8:00, 8:15, 8:30 for Akershus Monday. So you should be fine! Little tip: when searching for times, don’t hit the “breakfast” button because that seems to only show times after 9:00. Instead hit the actual time buttons like 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 and it will give you times right around then. At least that’s what happened to me!
Thank you so much - that eases my mind a lot! Those are the two I’ll grab first. Then I’m thinking I’ll go for CRT, Trattoria Al Forno and Ohana. I’m a little worried about O’hana just because we will be a party of 10 but I’m hoping since that will be 180+7 it won’t be a problem. Fingers crossed!
@TeamDP
Just want you to know that tomorrow is my ADR day also (we will be there 6/1 - 6/13) and I will be at my computer at 6am (that’s 2am Alaska time - good thing I’m up late most nights ). So when you want to share your success at getting all of your ADRs I will be “listening”.
Hope you were successful this morning, too?! I had to set my alarm to be up at 4:30! But I did it - got everything I wanted! Hoping to change the Ohana time a little later but we may be stuck at 8:55 (we were hoping for 10 since our friends are coming in from the coast). Overall, though, I’m really happy! Snagged an 8:00 PPO at BOG and 8:05 PPO at Akershus Now to figure out if we can make those using Disney transportation from POP…
Awesome I’m happy for you! My husband and I stayed at Pop in October and we got to each park before or by 8:00 to rope drop each time. We never had any trouble or long wait for a bus! Good luck!
I had a pretty successful morning too. Got everything I wanted, in the time frame I wanted. No PPO meals for us. The earliest ADR I have is 9:00am and it will be hard to get my family moving in time to get there. I still need to check back for the Desert Party I want and a ROL package but I think I am good. Now I have to start working on my TPs.
