Then there are crazy people like me that have never made an ADR in the history of going to Disney...and likely never will (though the ridiculous ADR system and the ridiculous dining plan stuff has really put a damper on the normal old fashioned process of grabbing a beeper for a table and waiting, or making a ressie same-day for any restaurant). ; I just accept that certain times of certain seasons, certain restaurants are essentially off the list...so I pick other restaurants that are usually readily available. ; There are enough selections up there that I don't worry too much. ; My regular backups are ESPN, Maya Grill, Rainforest, Jiko, Shutters, Trail's End, Raglan Road, and Olivia's.
However, depending on what everyone else's plans are each evening, I'm keeping an eye on available ADRs because it'll be more fun having dinner with others than alone.
