Booked my resort online last night at midnight, won't ever do that again! LOL
I should have done it earlier but I have been busy so I waited until the last minute for sure since today was my 180 day window for ADR's.

I didn't even have a plan on those until last night either!

Here is what we selected. Basically EVERYTHING is a first time visit for us with the exception of Crystal Palace.

Dec 15-21st Trip

15th Tuesday (arrival day) Beaches & Cream 4:40
16th Wend Cape May Cafe 8am / Crystal Palace 5:10 pm
17th Thur Teppan Edo 5:20
18th Fri - Nothing - We are planning for AK (Flame Tree for Lunch) & HS in evening. I wanted Mama Melrose but it is booked. I thought about Boma's at AK before we leave but wanted to try something new and a little later in the evening. So that may just be another QS meal that night.
19th Sat Narcoossee's 5:30 Very excited!
20th Sun Yachtsman Steakhouse 5:30 Also one I am very excited about!
21th (leaving) Chef Mickey's 8:30 - Our first time there!

Any thoughts? I pretty much got around 5:30 for dinners. I wasn't sure if there was viewing for fireworks or anything that I should have planned for later??

Anyway, I will keep a look out for a Mama Melrose opening. I am guessing the Famtasmic Dinner package is why it was booked but I am a bit surprised since it is beyond the 180 day mark.

Looks perfect! Great choices. I like the 5:30ish dinners. A little early so when you are done, a lot of people are at dinner and everything is a little less busy.

They look great! That is the time my family likes to eat in the parks as well. You have picked some of our favorites. Keep trying for Mama Melrose - maybe they were not all loaded in yet. There will be changes so keep checking. You may be tired today but have great ADRs!

Yikes what a scary title! I thought you had just booked December 25th. I thought, wow someone is staying at WDW a long time.

If you really want Mama Melrose - keep trying or consider booking the Fantasmic dining packge. As for your other ADRs, they look great! You have several of our favorites on your list. You will Narcoosses - great food, atmosphere. We always plan for a later ADR here so we can eat & then stay & watch the Electrical Water Pageant & Wishes right from their deck. You may want to consider moving that ressie back a little to accomodate the timing. Both attractions gave amazing views right from their. Closest view for the water pageant & Wishes will be right there to - not a direct center view but a great one nontheless.

Fantasmic package will be a late lunch time cause it'll be for the first show. I think 4:30 was the latest. As for narcoosee that's a wonderful restaurant. May be a bit early to see the water parade and fireworks won't be until 10, so you need a bit later ADR if you want to hang around for those. We have a 7:45 in September, and that's a bit early for 10pm fireworks...
