Getting Disney ref from Virgin / ADRs + 10? - The DIS Discussion Forums

meryll83 · 01-13-2013, 09:03 AM

So, Virgin Hols tell me they won't have a Disney ref to give me until 180 days out. I know I must have obtained this earlier on our last trip otherwise I would have been panicking (as I am now!) about getting it in time to make +10 dining ressies. Is everyone getting the same message/experience?

Message the Virgin Holidays facebook group..they're absolute gems!! I only ever go to them for help now...I originally called Virgin for my Disney reference and they told me 180 days..the Facebook group gave me my reference in December 2012 and I go end of October this year

Ooh, top tip thanks! I'll try this as we go in September!

So I've got the number through Facebook (thank you again!) but it looks really long. Is there an easy way to check its right?

If you find out let me know. 249 days till we go so we'll be looking to make adr's soon...

Well before Disney changed their website (we used to be able to access the US site) it def worked fine. At your 180 day mark give the dining line a call - on the WDTC webite, option 3 i thin. It will def work don't worry! I always prefer speaking to them over the phone...so friendly

Sussed it. Can log in under My Disney Vacation, but was under my husband's surname rather than my maiden name even though it was booked in mine!

Don't you just hate it when there's such a stupid solution like that??

meryll83 · 02-10-2013, 08:45 AM

I forget, what time do ADRs refresh online each day?

meryll83 · 02-16-2013, 08:32 AM

Ugh, having trouble again. Think it might be to do with the UK/US site - how do I get to the US site, it doesn't look like an option from the international version anymore?

I usually try and keep a link in my favs, otherwise it kicks you to the UK site.

see if this works

Did you find what time it refreshed each morning?
I thought it was 11am UK but not certain.

Thanks, whereabouts do I login to my reservation from here?
Need to be able to do this to get my +10 days ADRs.

I haven't had a reply regarding the refresh time as yet, but no rush, I'm not at booking time until April, I just like to be prepared

meryll83 · 02-16-2013, 09:00 AM

Oh actually that still seems to wind up at the UK site for me

Sarah28 · 02-16-2013, 09:08 AM

It's our ADR day today and the system is down which is very annoying. It won't let me book my first 10 days as it won't let me link our 12 digit number to our bookings

even tried to phone them but the phone lines are busy
