Planning, Planning, Planning

[Jessica Meier]

As a certified nut according to my husband regarding planning, I am gearing up for a morning of it with my Mom who is also going to WDW in September and will arrive there 4 days earlier than us on the 11th and will stay until the 19th. We are going to meet Friday morning and discuss ADRs and plans for our days and such. I have two questions for all you planners:

1. Since she arrives a full 4 days earlier, can she therefore book our ADRs earlier than I can. We will be doing the same ADRs and I was told by a CM that I could book for others as long as they had legitimate reservations.

2. What are your absolute must dos for ADRs and specialties (i.e. anything that requires a reservation).

Be our Guest, Ohana, and Cali Grill are a must right away especially if you want specific times. Any dinner shows I would also recommend booking. Oh Le Cellier use to be hard too.

My favorite restauarants are...

Garden Grill
Restauarant Marrakesh

For fast food, I'm a big fan of Earl of Sandwich at DTD and Sunshine Seasons in Epcot...wouldn't go just to eat there, but if I'm there and looking for food, that's where I'll head.

She can book your reservations but under her name.
