I was surprised with how hard it was to get ADRs at 60 days out, but with the help of MouseDining alerts I got everything I wanted. Still trying to adjust some of the times, but I think it will be ok.
I hope soā¦
Hopefully some ADRs open up as more restaurants open. Iām nervous about getting mine since Iām not on property. Next week is my time to reserve. @Flavita which ADRs were tough to get?

Wow. I have some stupid questions.
I have my first night reserved at the Pop Century.
Then I move to the BoardWalk Inn the next day.
Can I make all my ADRās for the week Iām at the BoardWalk if I call on the day that I can make ADRās for the one night Iām at the Pop? There were threads about āleadingā reservationsā¦ did I do that by accident?
ā¦Should I ask these questions in a different thread? LOL!!! 
Oh, no, I need to arrange to get to work late next Friday so I can stay home and make ADRās on my desktop at home. I get to work at 6:30. Thatās too late. Iāll have to take the SUV to work instead of carpooling with DH in the 13-year-old Scion. Oh, woe is me! What a terrible fate awaits me! Snort!

Youāll have 2 ADR days. The first one 60 days before Pop when you can do check in and check out day, and the second 60 days before Boardwalk when you can do the rest. No you didnāt do a leading reservation!

Iām having a bit of a freak out about ADRs. Half of the places I want to eat arenāt open, Iām pretty sure the places I want to try are going to be hard to get so once I get it itās doubtful I can be picky about the time. Im not as excited about my meals as I usually am. Iām feeling kind of blah that they havenāt announced FP+ yet. Planning this trip is kind of stressful. Am I alone? Usually I can pick what I want to do but Iām having to run through multiple scenerios in case other things open. Am I over thinking/ over planning? Maybe I should make fewer ADRs and just have more spontaneity.

I imagine that at 60 days at 6am EST you should have at least a few options of everything.
I tried later in the day on my 60 d and could not get YakYeti, Sci-fi or Oga, and to my surprise YakYeti not even 60+4!
When I tried to change plans a week later most ADRs that were once easy to get, like Sanaa and Via Napoli, were gone.
This was 2 months ago so things might be a bit easier now.
I hear you! It is difficult to plan while hoping more thing will open. Regarding ADRs, I would get the ones available at 60d to be safe . If other restaurants open or your plans otherwise change, you can always cancel the ADR.

I just wrote a really long rant to agree with you. Iāve put it aside until later. It got a littleā¦ hysterical.
Anyway, Iām freaking out, too. By the time I actually get to this vacation, Iām going to NEED THIS VACATION.

I just made a leading reservation at CSR. Iāll have to stay home this Friday to make some ADRās. I think I feel better, even though I am clearly gaming the system.

I did it! I got Yak & Yeti for my first day and Sci-Fi Dine-in for my third day! Whew!
Iāll have to keep checking for Trattoria al Forno for breakfast on the second day. They didnāt have anything between the hours of 7:30 and 9:30! 
And of course, Iāll need to get up tomorrow and search for ā¦ Oh, dang. Bomaās not open yet. 
But I did it! My goodness, everything really has changed in the last 15 years. I kind of missed talking to a cheerful Disney reservations cast member. And I definitely missed being able to ask that person to please look for anything after 6:00. Hm. OK! Now I must go to work!

Just FYI, even though I have a leading reservation and access to the dining reservations for my actual trip, I am NOT getting the reservations I want at 6:00 EST with the desktop computer. Iām having better luck just checking throughout the day, and even thenā¦ not getting exactly what I want. And Iām not trying to get BOG or CRT or anything like that. So far Iāve compromised on Sci-Fi ā dinner at 5:55 p.m.? Thatās so early for dinner ā and BOATHOUSE (all caps ā¢) for brunch on a Saturday, and today I couldnāt even get regular old Chefs de France for an ordinary Sunday night. In fact, I couldnāt find any Epcot restaurant for dinner on the 19th. I tried signing out and in again; I tried searching by date; I tried backdooring myself from the 18th. Nothing!
So I booked California Grill. Hey, if the park doesnāt want meā¦

Did you make your leading reservation with a checkin date of 10 days before the first ADR that you wanted? (Thatās what we mean by leading reservation since it lets you book everything 60+10 days in advance.)
