ADR System Upgrade - History

[MACfamily4]

All you have to do is check the first post of this thread for the most updated information.

Actually, during this transition there has been a period of time in which CRT and CM have remained at 180 days despite the shift of most other restaurants to the 90 day mark. I have read the first post carefully; I'm simply trying to be sure I don't miss my opportunity for those two spots while we all try to figure out how this change impacts our particular situations.

My understanding is that the grandfathering for CRT, CM, V&A extends to June 19. I have not heard of anyone getting a reservation at any of these past June 19.

(Actually it sounds like any grandfathering is at the CM's discretion - technically they are all supposed to be a No-Go until their 90 day date)

I wish Disney would update their website more frequently and provide this type of information "officially"...We love Disney and expect great things from them (considering how much we spend)...Why don't they have the resources to provide up-to-date information

I do not know what I would do without these boards

I completely agree about the Disney website! I planned my first Disney vacation just using their resources and a travel agent. Utterly disastrous and I was lucky to get anyone on that trip to go on a second trip.

Ok so I had a nightmare last night that I missed my date and did not get to any ADRS I wanted lol. I woke up and grabbed the phone and was like...wait it was only a dream and I did not miss the date lol.

How pathetic lol! This is affeceting my dreams LMAO!

Is the change to 90 days just for while the systems were down or is this the new plan going forth? Thanks so much.

 

[ColoradoLime]

It was just while they were upgrading the systems, but now based on what I've seen here and on other boards it sounds like it may be a "permanent" change.

 

[tinkandpan]

thanks- all ears had it as a change but no where else can i find anything

 

[Nparrotte]

This is permanent. I'd check on this sticky on the subject...

so sorry- i never even glanced up at the sticky's since usually it is all information i don't need. My apologies- ignore!

I believe the ADR's can still be made 180 days in advance fro Grand Gatherings

Hey Everyone.... I have been sick for a couple of days and totally forgot about calling yesterday morning for my ADR's .... but luckily I called tonight and got everything I wanted.... not the exact times, but close.... Good Luck to everyone else....

PS.... It was very strange... I booked for Crystal Palace and the latest Dinner time they had was 6pm .... I booked for Sci-Fi and the latest they had was 6pm also ??? Do these times change on a daily basis? It just seemed really early for the last resevervation in the last week of March?

 

[Lynn5700]

That does seem early. Maybe the parks close at 7.

let me get this straight, I'm new to this and get confused very easily!

CRT and Victoria and Alberts can be booked from 180 days and everything else is 90 days now? so for my May trip, I should be calling February time, right?

Not quite - everything is 90 days now. Your 90 days will be in February - if you need a calculator there is a link to one in the first post.


There will be some confusion until mid March. That's because prior to 12/23 they opened up reservations for CRT Chef Mickey and Victoria and Albert's until June 19. Once we are 90 days from June 19 it'll be easier to keep straight because everything will be 90 days. Right now it sounds like most CM's are making reservations at those three up through June 19.

Tricia is correct!!! CRT, CM & V&A are still booking through 19June until we catch up to that date. If you get a CM that is clueless, I was sitting next to one last night, please call back!! I am very excited about the new 90 day window, it means more actual bookings for us and less guests calling to change, it is easier to plan 90 days in advance vs 180.

Happy booking!!!

I just wanted to say many of us are happy that WDW is going back to the 90 day window!

Oh! And I also wanted to say thank you for putting up with us!

Thank you for putting up with corp changes!!! We had guests last night, 80 calls deep, on hold for 20+ minutes waiting for our assistance!!!

I actually come to the DISboards to find out about my job!!

 

[bjakmom]

I am also happy about going back to 90 days! Now if Disney would just faithfully release the park hours/EMH days a few weeks before the 90 day ADR booking date, they would have to fewer and fewer 'change' calls to deal with!

I'll bet you're one of those CMs that are talked about when Disers say "I just spoke with the most AWESOME CM!!!"

After a night like last night and you're still smiling?!!!
