So, here's my question -- and it's really for those of you who were down at Disney for Halloween last year, as the ADR timeline for my question hasn't hit yet for those of us going this year.
(But it does in 2 days -- thus the question... :blush:)
Normally, we do a "one resort stay" and can book our ADR's for our entire stay when we're 90 days out.
This year, we've split our stay, so we can't make ADR's for the last 5 days of our stay when we make them Friday for the first 5 days.
Here is my concern -- my last 5 days go over Halloween, and those 5 days also have some "hopeful ADR's" planned that are at some of the more popular spots people like to go to, like Cali Grill on a Friday night for Wishes, Le Cellier, 'Ohana, Chef Mickey's.
I guess I'm just assuming that crowds, etc., will ramp up just a bit this year, seeing as Halloween is on a weekend. So, I'm a bit concerned that by the time I'm able to call for our ADR's for those days, the folks who are able to call at the 90+10 threshhold may get the best picks of times and that the stuff we're hoping for may not be available when it becomes our turn to call.
This would have probably held true last year, as well, as H'ween was on a Friday... so, did anyone have any great problems last year getting dining ressies at some of the "nicer" spots over the last few days of October??
I'm probably just worrying too much -- but that's me, I'm the inveterate planner of the family, so it's my job to do the planning AND the worrying -- so if anyone can set my mind at ease a bit, that'd be great!! ;) :thumbsup:
:thanks:
