Reservation difficulty

[tom1944]

We have a 9-day trip scheduled for August 11-20.

These are the restaurants we were considering, and I was wondering if this list is an accurate list of the difficulty of getting a reservation.

Hoop Dee Do- Wednesday night
Ohana Wednesday morning
Flying Fish Monday night
Steakhouse 71 Sunday night
Yak & Yeti Tuesday lunch after 2
Hollywood & Vine Monday morning
Coral Reff Friday lunch after 2
Biergarten Sunday lunch after 2
Trattoria al Forno Breakfast Tuesday departure day
Liberty Tree Tavern Monday lunch after 2.
Plaza Restaurant Thursday lunch after 2


We have not decided on where we will eat on Saturday. That is our free day and will be at Boardwalk. I think Ale & Compass for breakfast but not sure yet for dinner.

In the past I have worked in reverse order in trying to get reservations. While staying on property, using the 180 + 10 or now the 60 + 10, I would try to get reservations for Hoop Dee Do or Ohana's at the 9 or 10 day mark, figuring less people are able to try to book on those dates. I would book the easier to get reservations earlier in the trips. If you aren't on property and trying a day at the time, hard to get reservations are as they say, hard to get.

Unrelated but I vote beaches and cream on the Saturday at the boardwalk…

Hardest to get on that list would be Ohana so I’d hit that first. I’d skip Y&Y through Disney and instead get a Landry’s card. They cost $25 and give you a $25 credit to use at your first meal. After you have a Landry’s member number call Y&Y direct to make your reservation, they have far more availability than via Disney.
