***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

FYI the website seems to be back up for me. I was able to check for ADRs just now at the 4 restaurant pages I normally keep open.

Thank you for sharing this info about when fp windows open for these rides! Is this posted somewhere as general info ? Do all rides have different fp start time Windows? I would just assume all attractions would be open for fp at park opening, or all at least at the same time ( aside from shows/ reserved viewing etc..)

I think I'm actually asking a question about my own question here?! But is @garada3 just referring to the fp window of the time that she is hoping to select on MDE? And then her target time of actually doing the ride?
I think I misinterpreted it to meaning different rides open fp at different times..

I was just checking out AK and RoL...I don't see anything different yet. Hopefully soon!!

ETA: And it's still acting a bit wonky for me.

If I'm reading your post correctly I think there might be a misunderstanding. Generally speaking, you can book FP for rides anytime from park opening to close. The times in @garada3 post were when HER/HIS FP+ times started. I am probably not articulating this the best possible way though.

@Candycane83 I'm not sure what you mean by FP opening times on your schedule? I feel like I'm missing something huge here. LOL



That scowl!!



I'm not even kidding...I use that saying at least once a day!

@SilSprBea I love the tag!! It came out awesome!

Did I say something about FP? I tried going back but can't find anything...

Yes, I am getting the "We were unable to check..." message when searching for ADRs more than usual.

Yes! Thank you!! I completely misunderstood!

We posted at the same time. But yes you are correct. And you answered your own question WAY BETTER than me

@areno79 i think it was @garada3 s post about fp! I completely misunderstood it! @Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL just explained it ( edit: better than me.)

That's great! I thought I posted while I was dizzy in the car and totally forgot after! Whew

Posting the same time again!...i'm shaking my fist at you @Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL !!

It has been a busy busy day and I'm just now getting to sit down to do some planning while my last batch of tomato sauce is processing in the canner. But the problem is that I'm too tired to even remember what ride is in what park.

 

[Talby]

Yes, I am getting the "We were unable to check..." message when searching for ADRs more than usual.

For a FLEETING moment, I saw RoL dates from 09/25 through at least December all in blue. It was so pretty! When I went to click on them, I did get the option to select times, but then when I went to the select times I got the "sorry...blah, blah, blah" message. I never saw a change in hours though, and it's acting up again, so....more hurry up and wait I guess?

These are my target times for FP+ Windows. I hope to secure a time very near to the first time mentioned and then plan to actually enjoy the attraction at the second time listed. For example, I would like to get a FP+ to meet talking Mickey with the window opening at 8:0pm but not get in line until 8:30 so my plan is 8:00/8:30.

It is my understanding that FP begins at park opening and that the last window of the day is one hour before park close.

Sorry for any confusion my post caused

Nope, wrong person!! Sorry! LOL

No not at all! It's me that really has no idea what I'm doing it made so much sense after I went back and really looked at it! Thanks though

@Talby (or anyone else,) this is so exciting!! as far as these shows go.... Is it that you don't really "reserve" them when it asks you to select a time? When you actually get to select a time, what would MDE do? Just add it in your plans that you'd like to attend?

Ahhh, okay..that makes more sense! I was panicking thinking I missed something really important! Totally not your fault!

So off topic but I was just playing around searching for ADR availability at restaurants I already have reserved as a way to gauge how busy they might be while I'm eating there.

I was looking at Cali Gril brunch on 12/11. When I select a party of 1 or 2 it says no availability. When I select a party if 4 it shows a 12:30 time is available. For anyone still looking for ADRs, it might be worth it to look for a slightly larger party than what you need.
