if you're trying to snag a particular ADR

disneyholic family · Jul 14, 2017

DD discovered the bon voyage breakfast only after i'd finished booking all our ADRs...

when i tried to get us the breakfast, it was completely booked for every one of our 21 days at WDW...

so i registered at touring plans for their ADR search alert.

It just now popped up in my email - it had found an ADR for our group of 8.

I immediately went into the system and voila!! we now have an ADR for the bon voyage breakfast (making several in our group VERY very happy!!!)..

so if there's an ADR that you haven't had success snagging, try the touring plan alerts (it was free!!)..

I really like the service too.

I managed to get V&A two weeks before our last trip at the exact time we wanted! It's brilliant.

disneyholic family · Jul 14, 2017

that's fantastic!!
yes, this is also 2 weeks before our trip...
i didn't expect that i'd actually get the ADR, but i figured i might as well sign up for the alert..
after all, we're a group of 8...i was sure it was a lost cause!

You have given me hope - I have just realised that both of our MK meals (CP and BOG) that I booked so we could enjoy the new fireworks, fall on stupid Halloween party nights. I could cry! Cue urgent rearranging needed! I shall register now!

i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!

I'm so flipping annoyed. There's barely any nights when there's no Halloween party whilst there. Really cuts down on your freedom and choices!

It's a good feature!

I'd also say keep an eye on things throughout your stay, we've picked up some gems same day or day before in the past!

disneyholic family · Jul 20, 2017

true, DD got a BOG ADR the day before her last holiday!!

disneyholic family · Jul 23, 2017

i'm still trying for two others without success so far, but i have my fingers and toes crossed

Me too! Got the one I was desperate for thank goodness, but got two more that I need to tweak that I'm currently not having much luck with!

yes, i'm trying to tweak one....we have it, but way too early for lunch...so i'm trying to move it to a more normal lunchtime..

and the other one we don't have at all....
we have something else, but i think the toddlers would prefer the one i'm trying to get...

it will all be fine even if i don't succeed...it's not a dealbreaker...just a deal enhancer!

Agreed, can't recommend this service enough!!

Tried to get BOG at 180 days with no luck. Registered a search on Thursday and now have 2 BOG lunch ressies!!!

that's great!
just want to note that BOG lunch and dinner are two different experiences....i assume you're aware of that..
BOG lunch is counter service, while BOG dinner is table service...

Yes. As we've got a 7 month old with us we are avoiding any 'sit down' dinners.

makes sense!!
we have a 3.5 and 1.5 year old with us...
the 'sit downs' should be 'interesting'!!!! (i'll let you know if we survive)

I'm not sure how you all did so well with this. It does keep finding an ADR for us - right time, place and no. of people - but straight after seeing the email, I go to book it and it shows nothing available. Granted it's not instantly after email arrives but a few times it's been within 15mins that I've hunted for it and still nothing.

Any ideas?

Most of the time you have to booking the ADR within 2 mins in my experience.

I'm not able to do that, so it makes this tool not as useful for me

do you use the link that was inside the email?
i clicking on the link and it took me straight to the ADR....
but i did see the email probably within two minutes of it being sent to me..

It's literally got to be as soon as you get the email!!!

My iPhone has stopped 'pushing' my emails through so I put the yahoo app on which is working much better. As soon as I had the emails I clicked the link and grabbed them. Just gotta be super quick I'm afraid.

Good luck though
