ADR questions...

[pammydw]

I am hoping you fellow Disboarders can answer a couple questions for me. Tomorrow is our 180 day mark! YAY!!! So, what time can you start making ADR's? We are in Ohio, so I don't know when we can start? At midnight tonight? 3 am (since we're EST)? 7 am? Help! We can't remember what time we did them the last time. Also, can more than one device be used to make the ADR's? Meaning, can my DH be on the laptop and me on my iPad, making reservations at the same time? Thanks in advance for any answers or suggestions! i hope this question is okay in this forum...

7 am (EST) and pretty sure the answer is yes you can both be on different devices making reservations at the same time, although I have never tried it since I am the only disney planner at my house.

I am almost positive it is actually 6 a.m. EST if you are using the computer or app, and 7 am (EST) for the phone.
And yes to both devices. My computer actually wouldn't let me reserve anything (annoying), but my phone app did, so I was glad to have that! It is working fine now though - it was weird.

6 am Eastern time for being on line. I get up at least 15 minutes prior, get the computer ready to go and have a cup of coffee so I'm ready to go!

Also, if you haven't already done so, put your ADRs in order of how tough they are to get, and how important they are to you. And don't be surprised if you are trying for Be Our Guest if you can't get it right away. Book what you can, and continue on down your list. Even at 180+10 I couldn't get BoG right away.

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you so much! We'll use the iPad and phone!

Thank you so much! Oh yes! We've got our plans in order so my fingers are crossed that we get what we want! We have back ups too, but there are always certain places we hope to get to each time. Won't ruin our day if we don't get them, but will be awesome if we do!

How did getting your reservations go? Tomorrow will be my first time doing ADR's at 180 days out and I'll admit I'm pretty nervous. I'm thinking about asking my husband to wake up early and try to book with me from a separate device. I'd love to hear how it went for you!

Things went well! We got most of what we wanted...strange times available though. I was surprised at some things that weren't available, like ample Via Napoli times. I've never had an issue getting in there. Anyway, we will keep slugging away at trying to get a few things like Sci-Fi and an earlier BOG, and a few different times for some others. For the most part, we are happy! We couldn't get a CRT for our Saturday night, but we did get a Sunday morning for breakfast, so happy about that!
We had our laptop, both iPads, and my phone going. Our strategy was divide and conquer! Just make sure you communicate so you're not both working on the same days. We started with the hard to get reservations first, and then went from there! Have some backup places in mind, and remember, it's Disney. No matter where you end up, you're still in the happiest place on earth!
