180 day reservations

[shaunaluvsdisney]

Does anyone know when they are going to booking 180 days out for dining again. We are going in early Feb and I'm wondering if I already missed the first day of booking for 180 days out.
Thanks.

They start on October 27th and they are releasing all dates up to 180 days on October 27 based on the information that has been released so far.

With regards to the 180 days thing, is it 180 days from the first day of your vacation and then you can book all ADRs for that week etc. or do you have to wait til it's 180 days from each day that you want to book for. Like am I going to have to go online each day to book for the next day that is 180 days away... if that makes any sense

Ok. I'm still confused then. If they dont start the 180 days out until Oct. 27but continue with the 90 booking until then...If I go in Feb doesnt that give us only about 100 day out booking? I really just don't understand how they can go from 90 to 180 days and be fair to everyone?

We are checking in on Feb. 7th. Our 90 day mark would have been 11/9/09, but since they are switching to 180 days on 10/27/09, I can call then and make my ADR's instead of waiting until 11/9.

I suppose it might be less fair to those whose 90+10 day is on October 27th.

If someone who arrives on Jan 25 and they can book +10, meaning they can book for the 26th,27th,28th, and 29th etc. But someone who doesn't arrive until the 28th can jump in and snag a CRT ressie for the 28th, it would kind of suck.

The only way to make it fair would be to allow 180 day ADRs starting Oct 27 for ADRs after April 25th (180 days out) and continue only accepting 90 day ADRs for all dates until that point, but there could still be problems doing that. It's probably better overall for them to make the change so that it effects Value Season the most, because during that time its easier to get ADRs anyways.

Or, they could just leave it at 90 days out forever.
