November 2 - 8 Busy time?

We have booked our trip for the first week of November. AoA is where we're staying. I've tried getting some restaurant reservations and it seems like everything is booked solid. What is going on that week that it is so booked up?

wdw is offering free dining with some reservations, so guests who normally wouldn't go crazy with dining are. ADRs book up fast during free dining promotions. just keep trying and be open to try new things. we actually found some of our favorite places because everything else was booked.

I too am planning a trip with those exact dates and was able to get BoG dinner and a few other things we wanted within the last week or so. Keep looking for cancellations, and good luck!

The whole month of November is difficult to get ADR's, not just that week. Free Dining is being offered but the 2nd thru the 8th is blacked out this year, as always. But anyone checking in on the 1st can get free dining. But you also have Food & Wine Festival, which draws lots of people in since its the last week of it. The Wine & Dine 1/2 Marathon is the weekend of Nov 7-8 and Jersey Week. I was there during that week last year with all of these same things going on and we had a great time.

Keep checking! We are going Nov 12-18, during free dining and I was able to get everything we wanted (except BOG) after the 180 day mark. I checked the site multiple times daily!
