ARG! I can't get dining reservations!

No they are all popular places, maybe not as popular as others, but they do fill up. I wasn't able to get a reservation at Whispering Canyon on my last visit. I really depends on the time of year, umm I guess I should say season

Value season it is way easier to get reservations. Peak season requires you to be on the phone the 90 or 180 days out.

Once other quick tip. As soon as you make a reservation, as the agent what the policies are for the restaurants you would like to eat at. This way you can mark your calendar for when the first day you can call. This is crucial for peak season for Cinderella's Royal Table.

PudgetteD - that's the experience we had on our last trip in September 2006... I think the difference is that before it was just DH and I, now I'm making reservations for 6 people. That makes it MUCH tougher.

I'm proud to say that I was able to get TS reservations for each day! I did what you all had suggested, and kept calling back. Instead of Le Cellier (which would have been AWESOME), we're eating dinner in Norway (the princess dinner), but since I'm part swedish, I think I'll find something I like, and I'll have a BLAST teasing the boys (nephew, DH and bro-in-law) about the princesses!

Had no problems making ADRs, and have even changed them twice with no problems. Maybe we just go to the places that aren't that popular (we have ADRs for Liberty Tree, Sci-Fi, Biergarten, Plaza, and Whispering Canyon)

thats scary.....i'm going in September too...and the only place i didn't set reservations for on your list is Biergarten, we chose Morroco. Your not from Jersey are you? laugh (i was born there then i escaped before they put the toll's to get out! its free to go to Jersey but costs to leave...keeps the natives captive!)

We were lucky enough to schedule our trip for August 17-25th....so we only had a problem with the Free Dining offered when trying to make reservations for dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday. (We moved our Whispering Canyon and O'hana reservations to Wednesday and Thursday to make up for them.)
