From listening to Kevin I'm a little nervous about this! Does anyone have any idea...are they going to only have a 90 day window from here on out? Our next trip is March 2010 and I just need to make the date on my calendar so I don't let it slip by.

Where did you read this? I am checking on the travel agent only website and there is no mention of this.

On the Travel Agent site, go to the Walt Disney World Resort tab. Then go to Dining then to Online Dining Reservations. I'm about to give it a try...:thumbsup2

Ok- I just made a reservation for my own upcoming trip in June. It took less than 5 minutes and I received a confirmation email immediately.

First I entered the restaurant choice. It asked me if I wanted to associate my dining reservation with an existing resort reservation. Then I entered my date, time desired and number of guests. There were boxes to check for DVC member, Tables in Wonderland and Annual Passholder. Then it checked availability. My choice was available so I reserved it and got my confirmation email at once. So far, so good!

Ah ... found it. Pretty cool so far.

It only works in IE though ... not Firefox.

It's probably the same availability as all the other agents. It just means less work for Disney World agents and more work for travel agents.

:worship: Does this mean they are one step closer to opening it up to the public? You can make hotel reservations online. I figured it would only be a matter of time before ADRs were included. It makes sense. :thumbsup2
