180 days out reservations, do they load in the mornings now?

[SpaceSquirrel]

hello,
I'm sure it's been asked but do the dining reservations load (for 180 days out) early in the morning or is it still at midnight eastern time?

 

[Hopefully]

Regardless of when the load, they are available to book online at 6 AM EST/EDT or by phone at 7 AM EST/EDT

For at least the last 9 years, they have been available for booking by phone at 7:00am. When they began the online booking, it changed to you could book online at 6:00am and by phone at 7:00am. For as long as I've been going, dining reservations have never been at midnight Eastern.

only thing that used to be midnight, was FP+. Now that's in the morning too.

ADR's were never bookable at midnight.
6am eastern online and 7am eastern by phone.
FP+ used to be midnight eastern but now is 7am eastern.

one more question, since i have resort reservations will it open up for further than 180 days out (to cover all days of our stay)? or will i need to go in each morning and book for the day that is 180 days out?

180 + 10 more days with an on-site resort stay. I made all mine today for my whole September vacation.

As long as you are logged into your MDE account, and your resort reservation is showing in your MDE account, you will be able to book up to 10 days of ADRs when you are 180 days out from your resort check in. That way, you can make all the ADRs for your trip at one time. If your trip is longer than 10 days, then you will either have to log in each morning after your 180 days to make the next day of reservations or wait a few days and make the ADRs for the remaining days all at once.
