WOOT!! I was able to get Space 220 this morning for our trip! Now, I just need to find a replacement Via Napoli ADR for the 11th since I dropped the one we had on the 13th to book Space!!

Congrats! What time did ADR’s open today and did you use the app, computer or both? I’ll be trying in a couple of days and that is my #1 ADR I’m hopeful to get.

Thanks!

UGH _ I tried both!! On my phone it found an ADR, but it wasnt recognizing that I had an account, so it was having me enter in all my info including my CC#, but then it finally froze....and failed..

so using Firefox on my laptop, I found 3 or 4 ADRs but then the system would freeze - it didnt like that I had an ADR already for Via Napoli and it kept getting hung up on that screen..

I'd end up having to close a window, reopen a new one and then try again....

but it finally worked - I got the day/time I wanted!!

Good luck!

I made my ADRs today and had all sorts of issues on my iPad and phone with the website and app but went onto my work laptop and was fine using Chrome. Was able to get everything I wanted including Space 220 dinner on 11/27. The first few I had to keep putting my cc info in but after that it showed up. I would try at 5:45 am but might not let you until 6 am.

Good luck!

I guess I will have my iPhone, iPad, and desktop all logged in and ready to go.
Captain OCD at 4:45 am CST should be interesting

Hi all! Planning a sibling trip with my brother. I'm a first time AP and new FL resident, and he's coming down from Chicago where we grew up. We made the silly decision to go over F&W marathon weekend and so far I have us booked for 11/1-4 at ASMo and off property at the Doubletree in DS 11/4-6. Hoping I'll be able to get on-property in a more affordable room than a villa but we will see. If anyone sees Value/Mod rooms available please report here! Got us ASMo the whole trip, November 1-6! We won't have a car so hooray that we got on property!

So far we have mid-afternoon reservations at Oga's (his first time) and BOG (my first time). Since we're past the 60 day ADR mark, I found Oga's just by searching occasionally and BOG via TP Reservation Request. Hoping to find a Space 220 reservation, but I totally forgot to get on this AM when they opened so I fingers crossed TP helps me out.

ETA: updated reservation

Saturday is our ADR Day! Its getting closer!!! I don't think I'm trying for any hot commodity restaurants BUT i also think i'll struggle the most for the Fri/Sat after Thanksgiving & even our arrival on Thanksgiving.

I was a bit disappointed at how difficult it was to get reservations for Thanksgiving week. I got the two I wanted for Thanksgiving Day - Whispering Canyon and Sanaa, but whispering canyon only had one time available at 10:55. I was hoping for closer to 1. Nothing for Space 220, which was disappointing, but we go back in March so I will try for then.

Space 220 wasn't really appealing to me, but maybe i'll change my mind if i watch some upcoming vlogs. We arrive at 4pm on Thanksgiving. Our(2 adults - child free) first time ever traveling on/during the holiday. I'm trying to decide if we do something lowkey at Big River Grille (staying at Dolphin) and watch the games (Dallas fans and they play 430 EST) OR something nicer with actual Thanksgiving food.

This is our first time traveling there at Thanksgiving also! The food at Space 220 doesn't look good to me, more the atmosphere. Maybe it's good I didn't get it - it will give more time for more reviews to come out.

our Thanksgiving day plan is to do a monorail crawl. We want to see all of the Christmas trees at the monorail resorts and try resort specific Christmas/Thanksgiving treats/drinks. Then end at Animal Kingdom lodge where we are staying. I'm excited - it's a new way to spend Thanksgiving for us.

Dang it... watching Paging Mr. Morrow's vlog on Space 220 now. You're right - that view/atmosphere looks amazing. Hmmmm where to fit it in as breakfast was going to be at Trattoria (breakfast pizza) with dinner @ Via Napoli.

We are doing Thanksgiving dinner at Boma. We have been there a few times and lIke the mix of Thanksgiving and their regular food.

In the home stretch!

Switched around our park days to make sure our magic kingdom days were not Mickey Christmas party nights.

It took waking up at 2:25am (pacific time) multiple days but I got all the ADRs my family wanted except for one. Sorry sister in law and father in law for the 830pm ohana dinner reservation. I tried! I won't list the rest as I don't like humble bragging, but what a terrible system! It should not be this hard to make reservations months out. Oh for the 180 days advance of yester year!


Now the machine gets adjusted to pick genie plus selections. Getting opinions to make 5 people happy for a park plan is difficult, but also enjoyable. Thankfully planning a trip is at least %10 of the fun for me.

Don't forget to set your alarms for October 1 to order Disney 50 merch off the website!

Got every ADR and time we wanted eeearly yesterday morning (three devices logged in and the ADR window didn’t open for me until exactly 5am CST - I began trying from 4:30am on) except for Space 220, but knew that would likely be the case for Space after reading the boards. Will keep trying for it but no big deal if it doesn’t work out this time.

Was able to snag a Topolinos Terrace brunch on our departure day. We have a late afternoon flight and are staying at CBR so I love the idea of walking over to the Riviera and that being our final goodbye prior to our flight.

Good luck everybody!

Stayed at CBR in April and adored it. We would walk to Riviera skyliner for all things + did Topolino's for a dinner (one of our favorites!) + grabbed drinks from their pool bar. That whole area is excellent. Enjoy!

We'll be there Nov 16-20 with Very Merry on night of 18th! Couldn't find a CBR room since we booked almost last minute (about 4 days before our ADRs opened ) so we'll be in Pop Century for the first time.
