Here's the Reader's Digest version...

 

 

  1. Start Early!  99% of Walt Disney World restaurants open their books to reservations 180 days in advance.
     
  2. Know when to call or log in, and be flexible.  Online reservations at Disneyworld.com open at 6:00am eastern time.  That is when the “day” rolls over.  You will want to make sure you are logged in to your account, that everyone in your travel party is included in your account, that you have your resort reservation linked (if applicable), and it might be helpful to expedite processing to have a credit card saved in your account.
     
  3. Prioritize.  When you call or go online to reserve your dining you should prioritize your restaurants in order of how hard they are to get and how important they are to you—don’t worry about going in chronological order through your vacation.
     
  4. Be Persistent.  If you are not able to get your preferred reservation at first, try, try again.  Often the restaurants do not release all of their tables at the 180 day mark.  With the new credit card guarantees and cancellation policy guests cancel reservations all the time.
     
  5. Hire an Itinerary Planner or Book through a Disney Travel Planner.  ...Many Disney Travel Planners offer itinerary planning as part of the value of booking with them.  They will help you plan your park days with your dining choices, and then they take care of making your dining reservations for you. Most of these agencies are fee free so it doesn’t cost you any more to book through them than to do it directly yourself.  Another option is to hire a custom itinerary planner.  These services charge a fee to help you plan and they too will take care of making your reservations for you.

They missed.... If you can't get an ADR you want, play with the numbers. We're usually a party of 3, but sometimes I can't get that but can get a party of 5. Then I just cancel 2 people a few days later.
