180 days...7 am...I got all my ADR's!!!

[mommykds]

Woohoo! I called today (180 days out) & got all the adr's we wanted!! Now I feel like I can relax since all the framework of our trip is in place. Some of these are family must do's every trip (like Chef Mickeys) & some we have never tried before (like Chefs de France) so it's a nice mix.

I called for...

Dinner
Alfredo de Roma
Chef Mickey
Boma
1900 PF
Le Cellier - my favorite!
Mama Melrose (was calling for 50's PT but they don't participate in FDP)
Crystal Palace
Chefs de France
Kona
Garden Grill

Lunch
Sci Fi

Breakfast
Cape May Cafe

I had a very lovely efficient CM (Barbara) make the adr's. I was nervous since there have been alot of bad experiences lately with making adrs & slow CM's but I lucked out & got one who knew what she was doing. She even read them all back to me when we finished. Ok, I am going to get my coffee now & calm down...

Anyone want to share if you are calling today as well?

I'm a little confused. If today is 180 days from your arrival date, can you make all your reservations for the whole week or do you need to call each day for each day of your trip since the next day is really still 181 days away?

Thanks if you know the answer! I don't need to call until June, but just working on the details!

If you are staying at a Disney resort you can call at 180 days & make adr's up thru your 10th day. 10 days of adrs for the price of 1 phone call...

Same here! I called this morning, thinking I would only be able to make one ressie for the 180th day. Much to my surprise I was able to make them all. So here's to 179 days of wondering if I made them at the right places for the right times.

 

[Mom to a Princess]

My 180 day mark is coming next week. I am so excited.

I am glad you were able to get all your ADRs.

 

[sweetpeakaris]

Awesome, Glad to hear you got everything you wanted

I also called this morning and got a wonderful CM and was able to get all my ADRs 180 days out!!! The CM was very friendly and gave me all that I wanted!!! As I was talking to her, I glanced out the window and it was starting to snow!!! Really hard!! She laughed and said that it was 80 there already!!! Then she said that she was orginally from Ohio and that she missed the snow and cold weather!!!!! YUK!!!! We had a great talk at lenghth about POFQ (wait till DH sees the phone bill!!!). I did find out, to my surprise, that Captian Jack's in DTD does not take Ressies. I thought that all of the WDW resturants did. Anyway here is what we got:

Crystal Palace

Prime Time

San Angel Inn Resturante

Sci-fi

Chef Mickey's

Le Ceiler

and then Captian Jacks

Cannot wait now for the next 179 days to

 

[DeterminedOne]

I'm jealous! I still have 33 days before I can make ADR's.

 

[Letsbgoofy]

disgram,

It started to snow here about 11:30 this morning (Endwell). Doesn't the endless winter make you look forward to your WDW vacation even more? I have another 4 days until I can make my ADRs.

 

[LauraAnn630]

This is our first time renting a villa. We have a large group going.

When can I make ressies? TIA

 

[melanie18]

Good lord! I would hope you would get all of your ADR's @ 180 days out! I wouldn't even thing that it would be a question!

 

[disneytraveler]

Looks like the 180 day time frame is working out great sofar! I will be able to make my on 3-15th .The IPO with have someone contact me concerning the platimum plan and help the adrs.

OK what if you are staying 2 weeks? Do you make 10 days worth and then call back the 4 days later for the rest?

That's the way I would read it since it does say 10 days. Anyone have experience with this? My vacation just happened to be 10 days even so I didn't think about that. If you can't get an answer on the board I'll call disney dining to be sure.

That's just what I was thinking - We are going March 24-30 and I have gotten MOST everything I wanted for that. I am impressed with the planning on these boards!

congrats!

since i am very new to this board.. i know what an ADR is.. but, where do i have to call to get them? i think i know what i am doing. but i probably really have no idea. i leave for WDW in may so i know i need to call now! also, do i have to put down a credit card for every ADR i make? or just if i am doing something like Chef Mickeys?

Hi

Had similar easy experience. Obtained 12 days worth of ADRs for late August.
I got every single time I wanted except for the first day when I asked for a 2pm (which I thought would be an unpopular slot) reservation at Akershus and was shoved back to 2:20pm. I guess this place is buzzing with Little Princesses these days.

I was asked for my Disney reservation number to do the 190 day thing, but I didn't have a clue since I booked via a travel agent. However, she just asked for my name and resort and seemed happy. It did, however, take her nearly 30 mins becasue she kept on telling me all the stuff about "no smoking facility, you need theme park admission, allow one hour". It was OK hearing it the first time but I made 16 ressies and it got very boring by the end!!

Have fun
