Really REALLY wanted Tusker House for breakfast and because I switched my trip dates, there was little available for anything and nada for Tusker. Been checking throughout the days and lo and behold, this morning I logged in and there was an 8am available - YES!!!!!!!! So so happy!!!!!!! My reservations are now complete and I can sit back and focus on counting down the days before I am back at Dis! :yay:

8am ADR? At Tusker? HOLY COW!!! Thats like winning the lottery! Lol. Incredible. I agree with you, it pays to keep checking. I usually get what i want by constantly checking. But this time im not having much luck (yet). Im constantly checking for a Cali Grill ADR but serioulsy no luck at all! (I already have one, im just waiting for a better time). I'll just have to keep checking i guess. Wish me luck. :(
 


Yay!! I got an 8:10 ADR at CRT the other day after checking for weeks and my hubs wanted to know why I was shouting haha. I was so excited! Have a great trip :)
 
Seriously, this stalking of ADRs is a compulsion. We leave TOMORROW. I changed/tweaked 3 yesterday (only moving a few signature dinners back by an hour, and added a MK TS lunch). We wanted Crystal Palace (tradition), but it wasn't open for the day I was checking. Checked our other MK day this am (a real DUH moment on my part) and CP was avalible....then I had to check Tony's and see if it was available for our other MK day, and did a last minute flip flop....in a 100% perfect WDW vacation, I'd be able to nail the 6:30 ressie at Yachtsman the day I want it, it's at 6:05 now, which is fine, I'd just rather bump it back a bit!!!
 
I scored a Le Cellier lunch ressie by stalking the ADR site. And this was less than 40 days until the trip, too! It really felt a little like winning the lottery. :lmao:
 


I messed up and scheduled an ADR about 90 minutes earlier than is really ideal based on our current touring plans...so I have been stalking too of late...only issue is I am a party of ten so stalk away it is...one can always hope...thinking soon as 8/28 rolls around and people snatch BOG reservations my party of ten may be able to slide in elsewhere ;)
 
My husband just doesnt understand how rewarding it is to have a pay off like this.

Welcome to the 8am club!!!!
 
Congrats! I changed my mind and now want to go to Cinderella's castle on Oct. 9th. I keep checking but no luck yet.
 
Totally agree about it paying to keep checking. My original ressies were for lunch at Le Cellier at 2:50 and Ohana for 9:15 pm and I thought I was lucky to score those. Checked back yesterday and was able to get 12:10 at Le Cellier and 8:00 pm for Ohana. Different days than the original ressies but I didn't have a preference on days to begin with (beggers can't be choosey) so I TOTALLY hit the lottery!! :banana:
 
I agree check and recheck ...

Yesterday I was happy with finally being able to get an 8:25 for Crystal Palace next week. But, I still wanted earlier.

Checked again this morning and was able to switch to 8:15.

As it gets closer and closer to your vacation time - people let go of the credit card guaranteed ADRs.
 
I totally understand...I have changed our ADRs a bazillion time...I wanted 1900 Park Fare for dinner on Aug 31 and had been stalking for over a week and 7:25 popped up yesterday...It felt so good to finally have all our ADRs done and can relax now...til we leave in 15 days!!! :banana:
 
I score a Chef Mickey at 8:00pm on the actual day I want at the 118 day mark. I to felt like I hit the lottery. Now if I could just get a Le Celliar for lunch on Nov 30th I would be set lol...
 
You gave me the idea I should consider looking for a CP preRD ressie on a different day. We currently have one scheduled but on Tuesday of our trip but now I am thinking Wednesday might be better. So I went and checked...not expecting much since we are at 59 days until our trip. Sure enough I was able to get an 8:05 for 7 people!!

AMAZING!!
