What order would you make your ADR's with these restaurants?

[stefan74]

I am planning a trip to Disney March 4-12, 2011 and I have picked out the restaurants I want to eat. I am a little perplexed at the order I should request the ADR's when making the reservations.:shrug:

I am going to put the order in which I was going to reserve them with the dining agent and I want your opinions or if you would change them. In my opinion, it is going to be a slow time because it is not President's Day week and Spring Break has not started as of yet, according to touringplans.com. With that said, here is the order I was going to reserve the restaurants with the agent:

1. Le Cellier
2. Coral Reef
3. Boma
4. Kona Cafe'
5. Rose & Crown
6. Tony's Town Square
7. San Angel Inn
8. Restaurant Merrakesh (sp?)

On September 5, I plan to be dialing just before they open and try to be one of the first ones in...this is my 180 day window start date. If you should have any suggestions as to the order, please let me know. If you can offer suggestions, that would be great as well. I plan on eating at Rose & Crown to view Illuminations at Epcot and Tony's Town Square just before the parade and fireworks as I did this two years ago and it worked out well.

I cannot wait to see the suggestions and thanks for your help.

Have a Magical Day!!!:wave:

I agree with the order that you have them in! My only suggestion might be to put Kona ahead of Boma

Have you thought about booking online? The Website shifts to the next day 1 hour before the phones open. I'm on Central time- had all of my TS booked by 5:20am (except for the F! dinner package, for which I had to call).

As for the order...I agree that Le Cellier is the very first thing you need to book. I've heard Coral Reef books up fast as well, so probably a good call at #2. You might consider moving Rose and Crown up higher in the ranks if you are trying to time it with Illuminations. R&C was the 2nd meal I booked (maybe at about 5:03am) and the best time I could get was 7:40pm.

I agree about doing it online. Is is SO MUCH faster....and much easier to just check for different times yourself then having to communicate what you want to a dining agent. Just make sure to play around on the site beforehand to familiarize yourself with it. And like someone else pointed out...you can do it online an hour before the phone lines open...which can be a really huge advantage when trying to get a popular place like Le Cellier.

Another vote for online. I did it this morning and we got all 7 choices we wanted within 10-15 mins of reservation time we were shooting for. All in all an easy and stress free 15 mins spent half awake.

This is the way I would go about it:

1. Le Cellier

2. Boma

3. Rose & Crown

4. Kona Cafe

5. Tony's Town Square

6. Coral Reef

7. San Angel Inn

8. Restaurant Marakesh

I would switch around Coral Reef and Tony's Town Square. Coral Reef can book up better quick for dinner... but lunch is easier to get an ADR for!

If you're trying to get a Rose & Crown seating to watch Illuminations I would certainly put it towards the top. The later seatings do book up quick!

I would take out Boma and replace it with Whispering Canyon. While the zebra domes are amazzzzzing, the food at Boma was a bit exotic for our tastes. Beautiful place and great staff but we didn't like a lot of the flavors.

If I make reservations through my AAA agent, will I be able to make online reservations?

Le Cellier is a must do first. Especially with it going to two TS credits for dinner during your stay. Lunch will remain one credit.
