Newbie here- already overwhelmed with the thought of planning ADRs

[Stitchglitch]

Hello everyone! I have a few restaurants in mind that we want to eat at for our trip. Le Cellier, BOG breakfast (before opening), BOG dinner, Crystal Palace and a few others. Am I totally insane to think I will be able to get these reservations at the 6 month mark? I know that I have to be online at midnight to try and book but is it even worth it to try for multiple or should I just pick one and try to get that? Ahhh...soo..much..planning!

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Online dining reservations open at 6:00 a.m Eastern Standard Time 180 days out (not necessarily what you would pinpoint as 6 months...be sure of your date). Phone reservations start at 7 a.m. EST.

I don't know about Le Cellier. BOG will definitely be tougher to get than Crystal Palace. I suggest having a written out wishlist of dates/times or dates/meals for each restaurant ready when your window opens.

Staying on-site ? You will be able to schedule +10 days worth....looking for hard to get reservations in the latter part of your stay can increase your chances of getting what you want . If you don't get everything, set up a reservation finder request with TouringPlans.com

Maybe someone can tell you whether the BOG PPO or dinner (coming changes may affect availability) will be harder to get.

You can book online at 6am EST. It's not midnight.

Go for your BOG first, then CP, then the others. It only takes a few minutes, so you might as well do them all. You can always modify later.

Be aware that a lot of people are having trouble with booking online, so you might need to call at 7am EST if you have trouble.

You are not insane at all.

Just get on line when when the time opens and book in order of difficulty.

definitely doable. Reservations keep popping up throughout the way anyways as folks reschedule and cancel. I was able to get a BoG dinner 31 days out. Just keep on top of it if you don't get what you want immediately.

Thanks guys! I didn't know you couldn't book at midnight! So many great tips here. Thanks for putting me at ease and being such an awesome resource!

If you are unsure you can call in and make your ADR's, that's what I always do anyways and with 4 trips done and ADR's for the 5th already done by calling in at the 180 day mark I have never failed to get an ADR at any place we wanted to go to.
