That's really good to know about the chicken tenders. Evie seems very keen to meet the characters so I'm 99% certain that the ADR will stay.

I'm starting to get a bit nervous now. ADR day is Tuesday. Fingers crossed we get what we're hoping for.

I'm sure you'll be fine. The only one I haven't been able to get is Le Cellier. Good luck for Tuesday

Thanks, I'm going to have to try to do it at work which isn't ideal but can't be helped. There are enough places we'd like to try that if there is somewhere I can't get then I'll just replace it with somewhere else or maybe I just won't book a reservation that day at get back down to 14 credits!

Thank you all. I'm just debating whether I'm going to try to get them done in my break at work tomorrow or just be patient and wait until I get home. I've been looking this evening at what is still available for the day before we arrive and everything we want still has reservations apart from early breakfast at Crystal Palace so I'm hoping the same will be the case on the days we want.

ADR Update.

I'd like to be able to say that it all went smoothly but unfortunately that's not quite the case. Thankfully it all worked out in the end.

My break at work is at 11.00 so I decided to give the ADRs a go. I logged into MDE and it was showing the first 10 days of my stay on the calendar - a good sign I thought. Wrong. I could search for times but as soon as I clicked on a time to book, I got the Donald ducked out message that I'd seen lots of reports of over the last few days. I persisted with refreshing for a bit before deciding that it was time to try the app. I went for our Crystal Palace PPO breakfast first as it was the only thing there was availability problems for yesterday. I got past the time and needed to add card details to secure the booking. I was trying to save my card details but it wouldn't let me so I tried without saving and it finally went through. By now though of course my break was over.

Lunchtime came and I had another go on the app. It was slightly annoying that it still wouldn't save my card details so I had to add them from scratch for each booking.

When I got home I had another go on the website using my laptop as I couldn't get the fantasmic package or the parade package on the app. It still wasn't working using Chrome but it did work using Microsoft Edge.

I still have 3 days worth of ADRs to do over the next few days. Other than that I was able to get what I wanted roughly when I wanted it apart from Storybook Dining at Artist Point - I could only get a 4.15pm ADR and I was hoping for something between 6 and 7. I have booked a later back up ADR for Cali Grill but I'd really rather that was our last night meal. Overall I'm happy with what I've ended up with.

Glad you are happy with everything you’ve got! Annoying that it wouldn’t work while you where on your break! I can imagine that caused some stress! Look forward to hearing what you picked!
