ADR question

[Princess Minnie321]

Tomorrow is my 180 and I am staying onsite. I am planning to jump on the computer at 6am EST, which is the earliest correct? Do I just go on Disney's website and sign into my account? I just do not want to wake up so early and not know what to do. Thank you for the advice!

6 am EST online. 7 am EST on the phone. Log into your My Disney Experience account - either on a computer or the app (or, both). Be sure you have a credit card saved to your account so you can have that used to secure your reservation. Good luck!

I don't know the earliest time for online ADR's but 6am EST should be fine. You want to log into your MDE account and start making dining reservations. Begin with the ADR's that are hardest to get.

Good luck

Log in 2-3 minutes early, make sure you have a saved CC, and load the page of the first ADR that you want to book.

Good luck!

Thank you! It is good to know about the credit card.

But the phone lines for dining open @ 6AM?

I was able to log into my Disney account online at 6am and schedule all my reservations for the week of my stay.

 

[Princess Minnie321]

I got everything I wanted! I could not get Ohana on arrival night but I was able to get it later in the week. I am happy with my list:

Tusker House lunch
H&V breakfast
Brown derby dinner
Chef Mickey breakfast
'Ohana dinner
Boma breakfast
Akershus lunch
BOG lunch

I just want to add TRex for our resort day and there was no availability so I will call the restaurant directly.

Guess that makes sense. I thought I had read that some folks were also calling at 6am.
Thank you for the information.

Ha. Looks a lot like the list I just did:

Chef Mickey dinner
Crystal Palace late breakfast > early lunch
H&V dinner (seasonal Halloween, and hopefully Fantasmic)
Akershus breakfast (8:10 YAY)
Sanaa dinner (just the wife & I)
Tusker House dinner
BOG lunch (I greedily grabbed 2 because I wasn't sure which would work better. Thinking of just having a little dessert party though.)
Ohana breakfast

I'm keeping an eye out for an earlier Crystal Palace slot just in case they drop the morning EMH that day. Otherwise, I was very happy with how easily it all went.

I know I was shocked how easy and there were lots of great options for the end of my week! The only reservation I could not get was Ohana on our first night, but I have a dinner later in the week and will keep checking the first night.

I was just able to get an 8:15a at Crystal Palace thanks to Touring plans ADR finder. Great tool if you're a member there.
