ADR Call or Online??

[HaleyGrace]

Is it best to call and check availability or online? I didnt know if the online check was accurate.

I always use online and haven't had an issue.

It is very accurate.

I would do it online personally. It opens at 6 a.m. its got to be faster than having someone else fumble through a computer system for you and you get an e-mail for each reservation with your confirmation numbers.
Its what we did last time anyway and I think that it worked out great.
Hope you get all the ADR's you want!

Disclaimer - This is my first trip...

With that said, I've done both and liked each for different reasons. When I called I was able to say I'd like to eat at xxxx sometime while I'm there and she would tell me what days were available. That was easier than me putting in each day and time online.

When I made adrs on line I liked it because I was able to take my time and really look at my schedule.

Both were easy and painless!

I tend to agree with Nicole. My general rule of thumb is that if I am making reservations during my 180+10 day window, I get up with the roosters and do it on-line. Theoretically, everything should be pretty much wide open and I like having the extra hour to play with. If I am inside the 180 window, I find working with a live person to be better because they can see more than you can on your screen. If your choice of restaurants is not availabe during the time you checked, you have to search again for each additional day. The person on the phone can more quickly tell you what is available during the time window you are looking at, and what day(s) your specific restaurant might be available. Once inside your 180 day window, the extra hour from 6:00-7:00 is largely valueless. Doesn't hurt to try the on-line system first. But if you aren't finding what you want, it can help to talk to a live person.
