We have gone to WDW about once a year or more every year since 2001. I always do my best to secure ADR's right at the "magical" ADR date, but we just today cancelled our December trip and made plans to go in August, so that we could celebrate our anniversary and enjoy the Summer Nightastic offerings. Our magical ADR date came and went on 2/08/10, which being that it was 5 days ago, I figured that I was going to have a very hard time making some of the ADR's that we wanted for our trip. We usually go in October or December and have spotty luck making hard to get ADR's for a party of just 2. Honestly, most times, we end up having to ask the online booking engine to give us ADR's for a party of 4, if we change our plans after the "magical" ADR day.
I was pleasantly surprised and somewhat shocked to be able to secure ADR's for just the two of us at good dining times throughout our trip. For all of our choices, we pretty much had our choice of times. I have never had it this easy!
We both love Epcot and decided to spend the day there for our anniversary. I got Le Cellier for our anniversary! We both love Kona Cafe for breakfast and got that for the morning that we do TL. I was easily able to snag dinner that night at Raglan Road. I got lunch at HBD! I was also able to grab Teppan Edo at a good time so that we will be able to see IllumiNations since it will be our last night.
Seriously, the same ADR's would have been almost impossible to grab for our other trips. I have to wonder if the masses going in August are just that clueless about how it all works or if bookings are that soft for summer still? I am hopeful that we will have a great time, despite the heat and humidity. Lower crowds would be a nice bonus, but I am not counting on it too much, still, it sure was nice to have a totally hassle free ADR experience today.
