How can I get a brunch ADR at Cali Grill?

Booking window opens in a fortnight, of course I'll be at work to make it even more difficult.

We rarely eat onsite lately and any ADRs we make are last minute, it's been literally years since I've needed to think about 180 day windows.

I know the chances are low but any tips please? Thank you

We had no issues booking our brunch last year at 180 days. If you look to book later in your trip you're more likely to have success. Good luck!

I booked mine for the brunch a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't book online at 11 so had to phone them up at 12, it was the first one I asked her to book, there were still a few times she offered me then, a day or so later i noticed there were none.

Brunch is awesome . It’s my priority when booking on ADR days .
I always plan where I am booking and take a holiday on adr days as it is far easier & less stressful.

Thank you all.

Unfortunately we're flying home on a Sunday so we only have 1 we can book which is day 2 of our holiday (8 day trip!), so i've no choice but to book at 180+1, that's not going to help my cause.

We just about managed on 180+3 but we have a 12.35 reservation. We are hoping to move it earlier if we can!

I did my bookings at 180 days with the +10 advantage. I could not get the brunch for my first Sunday which was my third day of trip. I easily got it for the second Sunday of my trip.

I think if you book at 180 days you will be fine, the later on in the trip the better. It will go quickly though and I would book it as soon as you possibly can. If you miss the booking window I think you will be hoping for a last minute cancellation.

Edited: Sorry I responded after reading your first post and have now seen #5. I don’t think there are any tips to getting a CG brunch booking, it will be luck on the day. You are going to need a lot of luck to get a +2 booking and hopefully you will. Otherwise I would make an alternative plan and keep checking especially the day before. My CG brunch in 2017 was booked the night before.

I found they were released after the 180 day mark when I was looking for a December ADR. You can also use the touring plans ADR finder if you don’t have any luck. It emailed me a couple of reservations that had come free. Just remember once it emails you it won’t keep looking unless you put your details back in.

Hi, we’re going for 8 days next time too. I’m wondering how to prioritise!

Can you share your ADR’s for your trip please? 🙂

Brunch at Cali Grill if we can get it and the Candlelight processional will be our only ADRs, we mostly eat off site, so not much help to you really.
