180 Day ADR calc wrong?

[pixarfan79]

Hi! So far i haven't posted on this board but i've enjoyed reading

My arrival is 11/13 which the online calculators say you can make ADRS today 5/17 for 180+10. (Also my Disney travel agent said this as well - i have an email out to her this morning).
But I went online today and also tried to call for ADRs but it said that i
had to have a stay starting 11/12 - so the online calculators for 180
days were wrong? Kind of weird. So do you think I can make
reservations tomorrow?? I don't think I'll have the hardest time getting these for that week but I also didn't want to wait b/c it was hard enough to figure out what i wanted in the first place, i don't want to start over!!

What I decided on was:
11/14 - Crystal Palace lunch (130pm or later)
11/15 - Tusker House Lunch (between 1-130)
11/16 - no TS
11/17 - Kona Cafe - breakfast - 9:15 am, Les Chefs de France 4:45 pm
11/18 - Whispering Canyon dinner - 8:30 pm

But I guess I can't do it until tomorrow? I didn't want to wait on the
phone over 25 minutes for a representative when the automated lady and the online thing was showing 11/12 as the starting day.

Any ideas???

We check in on 11/13 as well and I was able to make all of my dining ressies this morning via the phone. You should be able to book them today as well. The online system was a bit wonky this morning so I would try the phone 407-WDW-DINE. Good luck.

You should be able to book yours today. We arrive on Nov 12th and we booked our reservations for the entire week yesterday morning online. The system was a little wonky at 6amEST but by 6:30 I had no problems. Good Luck with your reservations!

Thanks! I was able to get through and made the ADRs. Got everything except Tusker House for lunch on 11/15 (which is kind of weird, crowd levels are extremely low that day but maybe its just there aren't a lot of TS for lunch in AK). So i booked it for breakfast, but not sure if i'll keep it. Overall went easily on the phone. Thanks!

From what I've been reading over the past couple of days, TH does not have any lunch dates loaded into the system yet for November, that's why you couldn't get a lunch there. I'd keep an eye on the boards and keep trying for when they actually do get loaded in, then it shouldn't be a problem (it's not one of the most in-demand places, though I hear it's quite good).

Great, thank you for that, i had no idea. I also wanted it for the free reserved seating for the Nemo show I will check back!

We are arriving on Nov. 12th and I found out today by calling the Yak & Yeti that they are not on the same system as the other restaurants. They told me that they only book out 180 days out and don't participate in the 180+10 day ADR window. Supposedly, Via Napoli has the same issue. Anyone else run into this?

Not sure about Via Napoli but I booked Y&Y yesterday using 180+10. We check in on Nov 13th and I booked Y&Y for Nov 16th....this was over the phone, not on line.
