Walk-ups in November

[iheartdisney]

We will be at WDW during the week of Nov. 15th. After some minor switches in our schedule, I'm having a difficult time finding a few ADRs. What are our chances of getting a table at (Garden Grill and Coral Reef, specifically) currently "full" restaurants if we walk-up just as it opens for the day? Good, bad or iffy?

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Iffy at best. With the "free" dining going on walk-ups are almost impossible except at the least popular places.

Granted. It's actually a really smart move on Disney's part. Everyone freaks out about the word "free" but it's really not that much better, if at all better, than other discounts. What it does, however, is make sure everyone stays on property to eat. And, since they only offer "free" CS at values, they are getting the extra money from many of those folks upgrading to the regular DDP. That is a big windfall for WDW.
