Help with ADR's please

[samtom]

Hi everyone:wavey:

Not sure if i've left it to late to make ADR's for the evening shows? Anyway, I was going to try and sort it out tomorrow, but I haven't really got a clue what to do and get confused very easily:blush: so if somebody could explain that would be grand

I was thinking Magic and Epcot:grin:

I'm not sure what shows you are meaning?
Do you mean a meal in the park and then watch the parade (MK) and the fireworks (both parks)?

Never to late to try for an ADR - Epcot should have something available at one of their many restaurants. Have a look at the menus here on the Dibb and decide where you fancy. If you are flexible with times you should get something.
I doubt that you would get the most popular restaurants like Le Cellier in Epcot though sorry

I rang for Mickey Back yard Bar b Que and no avaliblity for the whole two weeks although I got Cal Grill and Whipering Cafe ( i have many other ADR's though so not that worried) ring now they are helpful and will check dates and times for you

Sorry, not very clear as i'm confused myself:pgig:

I'm wanting to see the evening parades and firework displays and would like a nce meal with each one (and try the prioity seating), am I right in thinking Magic does 'wishes', MGM does 'fantasmic' and Epcot does one as well???

Like I say i'm easily confused, don't know which restaurants do it and which dont lol!

Thanks for he advice so far xx

It's ok - it can be VERY confusing. You would probably need to eat before Wishes as you cannot see the parade or fireworks from any of the restaurants in MK (except maybe Crystal Palace??)

Best restaurants to try and get lakeside for the fireworks at Epcot are Rose and Crown and Mexico counter service - both tend to either get booked up way in advance or be very crowded before the fireworks time.

Maybe as well to just look at where in each park you would like to eat, try and get an ADR there and avoid parade or firework times?

OK so I phoned up and it was far easier than I thought...BUT I made the mistake of thinking that you ate your meal and then went to a 'prioty seating' area for the laser show (Epcot) and booked the Rose and Crown for 6pm (show starts at 9pm but they didn't have any later) I now realise the whole point of the meal thing at Epcot is to watch it while you eat and so should of got one closer to the show time? Is that right?

Sorry for the questions x

I am not a probaby the best person to ask as this is my first time with ADR's and getting the best/right time but you wont now get any Adr's for the most populer times ie fireworks and parades as these can be bokoed at 180 days and most will already be booked....I am sure you will enjoy your meals anyway but if you can book a Fantasmic package so you get Priority/reversed seating at Epcot....if you check the Disney website under dining it will detail the restaurants that include this package we have booked for Hollywood and Vine - I am sure someone else will be on here with even more details....

Think you meant to say Hollywood Studios there?

To the OP, yes the idea of an ADR for the fireworks is around the time they are held. I would imagine that all those times went a long time ago. No harm in ringing and trying for another time or day though?

booking the Rose & Crown at fireworks time could backfire on you because you may get seated inside the pub and not see anything.
