ADR's Getting Easier?

[Crush Dude!]

Hi folks :wave:

Maybe it's just my luck but this year getting the restaurants we want seems much easier than in the past!

A little over half way through booking and I have had no problem with any including 2 for Le Cellier, 1 for Citricos, 1 for Yachtsman, 2 for 'Ohana and 1 for Crystal Palace :sohappy:

15 Down and hopefully the other 8 will go just as smoothly :sohappy::sohappy:

I found the same thing. I think it's due to the credit card reservation policy

Maybe so!

Def would not put me off but if it's putting others off booking then WHOOPEE :ROFLOL:

definately have found the same, we went 3 years ago and I tried to get dining reservations for Le Cellier 180 days in advance and couldn't and Chef Mickey aswell. We have just booked on impulse to go for 14 days in June, we have the dining plan and I was worried after our previous experience we wouldn't get any of the restaurants we wanted but I got them all, including Le Cellier, Chef Mickey, Cinderallas Table etc. So happy, I was hoping it was just because we were going at such a qiuet time of year lol!!! :ROFLOL:
On a plus note the last time we went we didn't have too many reservations so we went and took advice from a cast member and ended up at Olivias (Old Key West) one of the best meals we have had in the world and I have booked to go back in June!

Love Old Key West but thought Olivia's was terrible, maybe it was an off day but on our upcoming 3 week trip we won't be trying there again

what a shame we had such a lovely meal there and the atmosphere was lovely

With Old Key West as my DVC home resort, I've dined plenty at Olivias, and unfortunately it seems to have gone downhill the last two or three years, which is disappointing, because it really is a nice atmosphere.

I have to agree that getting ADRs is definitely easier--two weeks ago, I was playing around with planning trip for the beginning of May and could have had dinner at LeCellier on Friday or Saturday night. I chalked it up to LeC having stepped up to two dining credits.

It must be :shrug: And the lunch doesnt seem to be as popular!

Great for us, 3 visits to Le Cellier on our next trip :sohappy::sohappy::sohappy:

Good for you! I've been there once since they converted to signature. I had the pork chop dish, and it was delicious! (and huge!)

Interesting! Will be interesting to see if it becomes a regular pattern.

Always happy to hear Le Cellier is Great :sohappy:

When I was there last week,the waitress told me they'd started serving Alberta Grade AAA Beef when they went Signature [she was very impressed when I pointed out they'd actually "gone back" to serving it, it used to be their standard years ago - prior the the "mad cow" scare].

So the steaks are much better! :slurp:

3 Visits in 3 weeks might not be enough:ROFLOL:

Heres hoping :ROFLOL:

Same here, definitely easier to get all the reservations we wanted. I saw many available restaurants for our entire trip in May.

This is great news!
God Bless that new credit card policy.

Easier ADR's for some, and easier walk ups for others.
