Wait! We have to even book Trader Sam's now? I have always just walked in and sat down here, too.
This is the most I have ever had to do to plan a last minute trip to
DisneyLand. We normally do everything day of when we get there. We go during a slow week, book about 3 weeks in advance and just buy the MaxPass for the rides, book meals right as we walk up to the restaurant...I think I did book Oga's in advance, but I think I seem to recall even standing in line for 15 minutes to get in and always get seated at the bar. LOL! This new system is killing me. EDIT: I don't go inside Trader Sam's anymore. We get it all outside because we have done the inside now....whew...crisis averted. I was panicking the other day because I noticed that the GCH has a bar and grill and it specifically states on the website t hat it is ONLY available to hotel guests and I rushed to check the DL Hotel to make sure it wasn't the same for the patio service at Trader Sam's. LOL!
Fingers crossed you get a spot, dhorner233!!
