Cali Grill

Hi All

I know I'm a little late, but how likely is it that I'll be able to get an ADR for Cali Grill brunch? I would like to go on the 14th June, but there appear to be no times available.
I have a 'spare' TS credit and it would be fab to try the brunch there.
It is only me...so a little table for 1

Or is there another way to try to snag a reservation?

TIA

Kat

Keep checking online, California Grill Brunch is very popular, but I have managed to get a cancellation before by checking several times a day. I think there is a site that you can sign up to for notifications when spaces become available, but I can't remember the name of the site.

You say you have a spare TS credit, just be warned that the brunch is 2TS.

Good Luck.

Keep checking for cancellations, but it's one of the meals that get booked up at 180 days as it's fab. It is a Signature though - so 2 TS credits pp.

Thank you both for your replies

Yes, Cali Grill is 2TS, but I have a 'spare' additional credit from my arrival day, as I don't arrive until 7.00pm at the earliest, so I doubt I'll want a full sit down meal
All my days are not booked with ADR's and 14th is my only Sunday at WDW, so I can juggle where I go. IF I can get an ADR for CG brunch, it'll be MK, not AK ...the beauty of solo travel

Thanks again... I'll keep trying!

It’s likely booked up. Register for mousedining, it’s a free reservation finder. You’ll get alerts when ADRs arise. And keep checking yourself too. You’re more likely to get one nearer the time when people start to play about with plans. So many slots for popular places arise whilst you’re actually there.

Hope you get one. It’s so so good

It will be booked up by now, I think it is the one place you really do need to book at 180 days. I would set up alerts on touring plans but I think your best bet at this point is to have a back up plan but look for a cancellation the day before, I have picked up several of the hard to get restaurants the day before, including California Grill brunch.

As above, I’ll be hoping to book this at 180+6 (our first Sunday on site) but I’m not too worried if we don’t get it at the time. I’ll just keep an eye out for cancellations becoming available, especially nearer the time. I think the most common time for availability to reappear is close to the time, when people change plans at the last minute etc, but I read a guide somewhere that showed a few common times for people to cancel ADRs. I’ll have a look to see if I can find it again.

Thank you all for your replies.

I will, indeed, keep trying
If I get a cancellation, it would be totally fab, but if I don't, then c'est la vie... it won't be the end of the world!

Thanks again

Both reservations I've managed to get for here have been through Touring plans and both of them were around 2-3 months prior.

I tried at 180 days for our March trip but couldn't get it, I probably wasn't online on the dot of it opening.

Just to say that my first couple of touring plans alerts, I missed (one by 6 minutes) and the reservation had already gone, the ones I did get, I happened to be online as the email came in so jumped on it straight away.

Good luck.

Sorry to jump on this, but do you know what sort of time you would need to be online?

I really want to book this for my partners birthday whilst we are out there.

Also am I right in thinking, if I have two nights on site I can book dining reservations at 180 days for both of these days at the same time?
