180 + 10, please explain

[jennanyg]

I have reservations at POFQ starting March 14-21. The brochure I got in the mail said I could start to making dining reservations on September 15th.

180 days before March 14th is September 13th, plus I am staying on site.

So can I start making dining reservations March 3rd or March 13th?

If its March 3rd, can I only make a reservation for March 14th? Or for all 7 days of my stay?

Thanks for your help!

180 days before March 14th is September 15th. There are lots of dining calculators available online but I don't have enough posts yet to post a link.

On September 15th at approx. 6am online or 7am by phone you will be able to make dining reservations for your whole trip.

What I think is confusing you is the +10. Which actually refers to the bonus that onsite guests get to make reservations for ALL of the days of their visit on day 180 (up to ten additional days) instead of having to book each day seperately.

What PP said. The +10 does NOT mean you can make dining reservations at 190 days (10 days earlier), it just means you can make them for the duration of your trip (up to 10 days) from your check-in date. This is a perk given to onsite guests so you do not have to log on every day during September to book each day of your trip.

On Sept 15 you will be able to make dining reservations for your entire stay. Online reservations start at 6:00 AM Eastern Time and Phone lines open at 7:00 AM Eastern time.

Here's a link to a date calculator:

Just checked for you and your 180 day mark is September 15th. You can make dining reservations from your check-in date and 10 days after that, so on Sept 15 you can basically make them all in one shot. If you are doing them online, the website opens up at 6am EST and the phones open up at 7am EST.

You'll log into your MDE account and see your reservation. Then the system will allow you to book for the duration of your reservation.
