ITs FINALLY TIME! ADR COUNTDOWN

I am at my ADR day tomorrow morning(Sun Apr 1) FINALLY!

I hope the POLY IPO is on top of them, as I've never trusted someone else to do my ADRs before! This is a big step and a big leap of trust! I have some hard-to-secure ADRs planned, like OHANA close to my arrival and Cali Grill on our arrival....it seems like our week may be busier than I was hoping ( sept 28-Oct 7)... Everywhere I turn on FB Disney Groups, Disboards/Here, people are mentioning they'll be there the same week! I hope it's no busier than my past experiences....MLK Day Week Jan '08 (first visit ), Labour Day week (sept 1-12, 2009), Super Bowl weekend (Feb 5-11, 2011) ,

I am no stranger to lower holiday crowds....I just hope this week leading up to Columbus Day Weekend isn't overly packed, so we can still enjoy some lower crowd touring! I'm not too concerned about the end of our trip leading into Columbus Day weekend (Oct 4,5,6) as we'll be moved over to UNIVERSAL by then and have the coveted EXPRESS passes (YEAH BABY!!)....lol.....those Are like gold! Keeping my fingers crossed for good news tomorrow. I'll know by then if I will ever outsource my ADR reservations again, LOL!

I am happy to report, it turned out well! Except for a later than I wanted ADR for OHANA on Sept 29 .....I was hoping for 6 - 6:30. But the earliest we could get was 7:05pm. In the end, it might work out for the best because we have a later breakfast ADR that morning at KONA (9:30 am) then heading to AK for the day, and it doesn't close until 6pm that evening....this will give us time to get to OHANA by 7
