Is it really that hard to get dinner reservations for the times you want at DW resort? That's interesting to me. In the 30+ years I've been going to Disneyland (pre-dating the days of two parks/three hotels and it being called "Disneyland Resort"), there's still only one place that's usually hard to get into - Blue Bayou. Even these days I pretty much can get a walk-in everywhere inside the parks, including there. I guess that's the downside of WDW being so much bigger and attracting so many more tourists.
