Adr's

[trickster2006]

Have finally started to book our Adr's today, myself and the wife sat down and worked out that for the 3 weeks we are going on, we will do 9 adr's. Is this to much? We have managed to book our first three as now we have to wait until tomorrow to book up more as they advised us that we can book up to 190 days before.

[JudyC]

I wouldn't say 9 ADR's over 21 days is too much, just about right I'd say. Does it include any breakfast ADR's as well as evening meals.

[sarahc]

That's only one every 3 days: sounds fine to me!

[Leanne1977]

I would say 9 is pretty much spot on!:thumbs-up Of course the reason I say that is that I have 9 planned over my 3 weeks too.:D

I would be very interested to hear what ADRs you have made and what the others are also.:thumbs-up

So far I have booked the Sci-Fi Diner, Chefs De France and Donalds Safari Breakfast.

Tomorrow I will hopefully be booking the Yachtsmans, Boma dinner, Pirate Cruise for the kids and the Neverland Club.

Which will leave me the Candlelight Package at Tutto Italia and California Grill to book. With T-Rex Cafe and Beaches and Cream a walk up.:wave:

Its very exciting isn't it!:spin:

The Neverland Club is a kids club at the Polynesian hotel. It gets excellent reviews and lots of Dibbers have used it. My boys have been to one of the other clubs and enjoyed it so thought we would give this one a go. Myself and DH will be going to have a meal together at the Yachtsmans while they are there. They are given dinner and there are activities for them to do. Heres some official info,

My boys were booked to do it last year but one of them was poorly and we had to cancel. They were fully booked for the rest of the holiday.:(

So they are doing it this year.:grin:

Off for a proper look at your ADRs.:tounge:

[KFJames]

What number did you give them when they asked for your booking reference? I just called & have only got the booking ref given to me from first choice & they siad they needed the resort ref?

[trickster2006]

hi well the only answer i can give is to phone back the disney diner booking number and hope to get someone else and explain that you do not have the correct reosrt ref only the booking ref from first choice and tell them where you are staying and that today is your 180 day mark and you would really like to make your reservations. i had been on the phone to Virgin for 28 mins today on hold, while they kept trying to locate the reosort ref from their support team only to be told that they could not get the info untill friday as they have sent an e mail and have to wait, i was none to impressed and explained that i would express my unhappiness via a complaint as on friday previous, i called virgina and asked for my resort ref and was given a ref number and when i called disney today was told this was not correct so then called virgin back today hence the 28 min wait time and still no luck so thought what the hell i will try disney again and just hope i get a nice person who can try to help me and luckily enoughi did, she was a really helpfull young lady who did say that the virgin ref number was sufficient, so...... keep tryin and you should be able to do it.

good luck:grin:

Don't be surprised if you can't book the Spiderman breakfast just yet. We were only allowed to book 30 days out. But I think it depends on who picks up the phone.:thumbs-up
