180 days+10 for ADR?

[fantpan]

We know we can book most ADR's 180 days out + 10 days. How does the +10 work for things like CRT breakfast?

I'd still call first thing when their lines open and request it before any of your other ADR's. I went by the old method (setting clock to the official time down to the second, dialed a few seconds before the lines opened, and knew the promtps ahead of time to cut back on losing a few seconds to get through). It worked for me, so it won't hurt to try. If they tell you you can't book it, don't listen, because you can! As long as you have a hotel ressie and are within your 180 window, you can book it.

I'm just a bit confused about the +10 days bit though. I assume that means when you book something on the 180th day out that you can also make ADR's for the next 10 days following. So if I ring and miss getting through on the 180th day can I immediately ask them to try the next day or the day after and so forth? Did you book yours on the 180th day or later?

You'll probably be able to get CRT with your 180+10. It's not as hard to get now that ADRs are 180 days off. If not, you can call again exactly on the 180 day mark from the day you want to be at CRT. They open up more tables on the 180 day mark, so if you don't get it the first try, you probably will on your 180 day.

I've read several recent reports of people being able to get CRT well past their 180 day mark. It's just not selling as well due to a number of things -- 180 days, new pricing structure, etc.

Yesterday was our 180 day mark and I called at 7am for CRT - it would have made it 180d +3 - the first CM I called wouldn't let me make ADR's - she said that 180d + 10 did not apply to CRT and that it would open at the 180 day mark - I called right back and this time the CM said "absolutely", but that day was already booked - it was like 7:05. So, I then asked if she had any openings for 6/11 - 6/17 and she had 6/14 - the day after I had asked so we got that!

I called at 180 and got CRT for my seventh day, so it was 180+7 for me, I got all my ADRs and all the times that I want too No problems with the CM, so if they tell you that you can not do it, call back immediately! Also, I called at 0700 too and love the calling ahead so you know the correct numbers to press to skip ahead, I had to wait for about ten minutes for a CM. Based on my confirmation numbers, during the ten minutes that I was making my ADR's, over 200 other ADR's were made!! WOW!

Thanks everyone. This makes it all a lot clearer. I'll try to get it on my 180 day mark and if they don't allow it, I'll call again.

OK - I need some clarification on this too - and I'm still confused after reading these posts

We have reservations in December for 6 days at the world. If I call 180 days before my Day 1 - are you saying that I can make a reservation for CRT on my day 4?
