***Official Super December 2018 Thread***

Phew adr day is stressful. Got pretty much everything I wanted had to adjust a couple things. But got mostly everything including Ohana. California grill brunch and be our guest. The only one I have issues with is coral reef (my husband loves it) and I found it odd that I could only get a 3:20 reservation and it was the very last day of our trip. Oh well I'll just keep an eye out for opening times.

How did I not know this thread existed?????

Add me to roll call:

This will be our second Christmas week trip, but the first was 22 years ago for our Disneymoon. I always swore we would go back for our anniversary and take our kids for Christmas, and since our oldest DD will be 19 by then and a sophomore in college, (youngest is 11) running out of time!!

This is a surprise trip, giving the girls 24 hours to pack and prepare. It may come back to bite me, I don't know how they'll feel about being away at Christmas. But we're all Disnerds, oldest is actually apply in for DCP that will start in January. So this will either be a send off, together before she leaves us, or a consolation. in addition to whatever happens with DCP, our anniversary, Christmas, we're also celebrating her graduating from community college where she's been playing volleyball before she moves on, AND my youngest 's bday at the beginning of January!!!! s

I'm so stressed about AdRs, (this is our 10th family trip) because of FD, and trying to make it special without killing us all!! Looking forward to planning along with you all! Let the fun begin!

I got everything I wanted this morning too except Coral Reef! I'm surprised it's that hard to get. I got Beaches & Cream, BoG, etc., but not Coral Reef. I booked Garden Grill instead, but I'm going to keep trying for Coral Reef.

 

[ShyMiss]

Those of you who didn't get Coral Reef, I read some speculation that they may be holding some Epcot restaurants for CP packages & that more may spots may open at the time they release those. Hope everyone gets what they want in the end.

We got all the ADR’s we wanted. The times are not perfect, but it’s tough with 7 people.

 

[caribbeandream]

Got my ADRs! (For two adults)

Saturday evening - Holiday Dine with Minnie at Holllywood & Vine
Sunday breakfast - Grand Floridian Cafe
Tuesday MVMCP - Dessert Party with Plaza Garden Viewing

Now I just need to wait for the CP restaurants to open up and I'm good to go!

 

[10MoreMinutes]

Our ADR day was Saturday, and despite some technical difficulties (as in, the website wouldn't let me make ADRs until 6:45 am ), I managed to get 3 of the 4 ADRs I was after. Right now, our ADRs look like this:

12/6 (arrival day): Dinner at Skipper Canteen at 4:35 pm (hoping to replace this with a 3:30 Ohana reservation)
12/7: Breakfast at 1900 PF at 10:35 am
12/8: Dinner at Raglan Road at 6:15 pm
12/9: Lunch at Sci-Fi Dine In at 12:35 pm

Dang! I got all I wanted except for my MOST wanted: 'Ohana.

Well guess I'll be keeping an eagle-eye on it!

Sign up for reservation finder on touring plans! Also, mouse dining has a reservation finder, I believe.

Touring plans is amazing. I set it to search for a reservation at Beaches and Cream for our upcoming trip, and received a notification. I hurried to the laptop, quickly found the dining time and we are booked.

Mouse Dining, I have used in the past and was successful. I will also give Touring Plans a go! Thank you for the advice!

Looks like we are going to the MVMCP!! We have done the Halloween Party at Disneyland last year and that was fun. Any tips ??

Definitely do. I kept randomly looking throughout the day and found 4 different ohana dinner reservations. People drop all the time!!

Had planned to go to Artist Point for dinner on Christmas, but according to rumors on other threads, now it's looking like if it will even be open then at all, it will have turned into a character dinner instead of fine dining. I like character meals in general, but this isn't what I had in mind for Artist Point on the holiday. May have to find an alternative restaurant.
