ADR Confusion

[landshark]

We just booked our trip (yay free dining!) for Sept. 12-20 this weekend and the next step is figuring out ADRs. I'm confused as to when I can make these, though.

Everything I'm seeing says 90 days ahead of your trip is when you do it, but my BF says last year he tried getting a reservation for Le Cellier farther out than that and they were totally booked. We weren't on a dining plan or free dining last year.

Has something changed and/or do things change depending on whether or not you're on a dining plan? This is my first time doing a dining plan so I don't want to mess up and get into few or none of the restaurants we want to go to.

yes they have changed the window for making adr's from 180+10 days to the 90+10 you have been seeing.You could still get what you want if you ring on your 90 day mark and be lucky.

The 90 day mark for me was today so I called as soon as the phone line opened and still did NOT get La Cellier or Ohana.

Good luck!!

Thank you for the info! I didn't really start following this stuff until this year so I wasn't sure. Also, can you explain waht "90+10" means exactly?

You can call 90 days from when you check in and make up to 10 days worth of dining in one phone call, instead of calling back the next day to do another reservation.

The 90 + 10 is only for guest staying at Disney Resorts.

Yep - unfortunately they changed from 180 day ressies to 90 days. I miss the 180 day out
