Able to get all my ADRs for Christmas week
I have been concerned that I hadn't made our ADRs for December yet... so I finally got it together and sent the hubby and sons away for the afternoon while I finished planning our itinerary for December 21st through the 30th. I checked Extra Magic Hours, and consulted the crowd levels from Unofficial Guide. Then, I made a list of all the restaurants we wanted to eat at, assuming I could get maybe half of them for ADRs.
Believe it or not, I was able to get ALL 8 of my ADRs for the days and times I wanted! Even a dinner at Le Cellier at 6:40 the night after Christmas  Many of my ADRs were for 6 or 7 people (various people coming to visit). I was shocked that they were all available! Some of the other popular restaurants on our list include O'hana (yummy!), Artist Point (Salmon!), Boma (Zebra Domes!), Biergarten (Beer!), Liberty Tree Tavern (Pot Roast!), and Rose and Crown (Illuminations!)So, if you haven't made ADRs for December yet, get on with it while there is still availability!

Re: Able to get all my ADRs for Christmas week
I will finally be able to fall asleep without wondering when I would get it all done and planned!

Last year I think I waited until October, and I had trouble getting ADRs at normal dining hours. My 5 year old son could never stay awake for a 9:15 dinner ressie, so I promised myself I would plan our ADRs as early as I could get my act together

Re: Able to get all my ADRs for Christmas week
I would imagine that the week before Christmas will have good availability, if I was able to get ressies today for Christmas week... so breathe easy!
Call as soon as you get a chance- there was no wait at all when I called this afternoon, by the way. I'm sure you'll be fine!

Re: Able to get all my ADRs for Christmas week
YAY! You got all your ADRs!!!! That is AWESOME! Especially considering that you can book ADRs 180 days out! I made my December ADRs the day they were available to me! On June 3!!!
FireAngel, if you want CRT, you might have to settle for lunch or dinner. Breakfast usually sells out within MINUTES at the 180 day mark. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
