Homecomin on Day 1 will be tough without question
And I think Steakhouse 71 will gain a quick following.

Topolinos breakfast on Arrival Day is really the only reason I have a Leading Reservation. I can change the dates on the rest and they should be easier to get. But, I figure my chances at 59 days were minimal.

Fingers crossed for lots of hiring and a big capacity increase before the holidays. My next trip is 12/17-12/23 and i am not doing leading reservations. The force is strong with me though, and i have jedi reservation stalking skills.

Yeah I only ever did the leading res once (just this summer, for 7/4 at CG dinner) and I still have guilt about it (even though it was epic)

I wonder if I can use open table or I actually called the restaurant directly once to make a reservation. I may try that now and see if they will book me inā¦

I also donāt mind paying for mouse dining. Is there another reservation finder people like better? Of course I will have TP reservation finder set.
The last time I checked Homecoming was not using Open Table?
Day 1 ADR success! Weāre going to Space for dinner!

I was going to ask this same question as I am booking soon. Could this thread turn into the generic leading ADR/Reservations post?
That is probably up to @MTrib?
Hijack away!!

Why do you have to book one day at a time?
Because you can only book a max of +10 days no matter how long your trip is. But, since every day you are reserving at the +10 mark, it should be much less stressful.

In the past a leading/overlapping reservation would not be 15 days. You could always get your ADRs at 60+5 or more. So if you had a 5 day trip your leading could start 5 days earlier. Now you cannot get desirable ADRs at less than 60+10?
Editing to add: I havenāt been following these leading reservations thread so I donāt know if I missed this in the past and when it changed. Is this what was first introduced by BoM?

I havenāt done it yet. But, Iāve read of complaints on here and on Disboards saying that. As usual just for the super-desirable ones, Space 220 seems like the hot ticket now.
I got one because I want to go to Topolinoās on arrival day and without a leading reservation I could only reserve at the 59 day mark. For everything else, Biergarten, Crystal Palace and a few others, at worst Iād have to get a non-ideal date/time.
It also seems to me that at the 60 day mark, people will be more sure of their plans and therefore less likely to cancel. Of course there is the day before cancellations, but I really donāt want my plans for the one-and-done trip to be dependent on day-before cancellations.
Right but the other strategy has you booking your 60+ 5-10 on a 5 day trip. I am just shocked you couldnāt get Space or Topolinoās at 60+7,8, or 9. You need 70 plus?
If youāre going to the trouble of making a leading reservation, why not maximize the benefit? It was a lot less stressful to just book one day at a time and not have to overthink whether +5 would be sufficient.
So with a leading reservation extending things by 10 days, thereās no advantage to when you have high demand ADRs in your actual vacation, right?
In other words, thereās no advantage in shuffling things around so Iām trying for CRT or 220 on D+1 instead of D+8.

Is anyone reporting you cannot book desired ADRs (if they have been released) at 60+11? (Back to my original question if nothing is available at 60+ 6 or more?). Your real booking window is more that 10 days out so there should not be any reason to move?

For our large group of 8 desirable restaurants at desirable times (BOG for 8 at 5:00pm, Topolinos for 8 at 8:45am) weāre only available 60+10. Any later and theyāre not there.
