ADR System Upgrade - History

[MAKHayes-DisneyDiva]

Never eaten at LeCellier, but planning (hoping?) to make a dinner ADR for my June trip. Is it really that difficult? If I am willing to eat on the early side (like 5 or 5:30) or go any night of my trip, will that help?

You sound like you are really flexible so it won't be hard for you. I just booked it for March 18th @ 545 for a party of 6. I told her I didn't care what time it was. It was really easy. Just call as soon as you can.

Make sure you call at 180 days from the start of your vacation

I have had no luck today, I have tried 3 times and I am being told tomorrow. I am looking to book for my February trip, I guess I will just have to get up early in the morning!

I just got off the phone with Disney Dining and was able to make my ADR's for February 23 - 27 today!

I just booked our CP for 8:05 on 2/27 and our BBB before our CRT on 2/25.
We're all set since we're staying off site and are doing just a few ADRs. Good luck to everyone trying today.

Thanks! I tried again and the fourth time was a charm! I got all of my reservations for February 22-28!

I apologize if these questions have already been asked. I did read the first post and all the posts since, but can't seem to find the answers to these questions. We are going to WDW in May. I do understand that we can not make our normal ADR's until later, maybe in December. I also understand that I can still make Chef Mickey's and Cinderella's Breakfast reservations at the 180 day window.

But I still am not sure:

1. Do I need to call 180 days from the actual dinner/breakfast day or if I can call 180 days out from check-in? For our last trip I was able to call 180 days out from check-in day and make all my ADR's. Can I still do that for Mickey's and Cindy's?

2. Can I still make reservations for the Poly Luau and Mickey's Backyard BBQ 180 days out?

Thanks for any help you can provide. I'm getting a bit nervous since our 180 day mark for check-in is only 8 days away.

Hi Eva,

It's 180 days from your check in date, for the first 10 days of your trip. My mom is checking in on 4/15 and I was able to make CM ressies on October 17 (180 days from 4/15) for 4/22. Good luck! I'm still waiting to make the rest of our ressie's but at least I have my Chef Mickey's booked.

I love this board!! The first 2 times I was told I couldn't make reservations for our March trip until tomorrow, but third time was the charm. Have all our ADRs done for our March 14-21st trip!

3/15 12:15pm at Sci-Fi
3/16 6:45pm at Ohana
3/18 8:25am at Cinderella's Royal Table and 7pm at San Angel Inn
3/19 8:50pm at California Grill with the kids reserved in Neverland Club (romantic birthday dinner!)
3/20 7pm Coral Reef

Thanks for the heads up! I called and got a very nice CM who helped me make my ressies for the last week in Feb. She said that right now there was lots of availability since the system just opened up.

I also got a ressie for CRT for lunch!!! Totally wasn't expecting to be able to do that, but I got the day AND time I wanted

 

[BusyMom2Three]

I called last night and asked when I could make ressies for my March trip, and the CM said next week, so I told her I had read on here that it was the 26th, and she spent a few minutes reading some material and said, yes, the 26th. Then I called back and asked if I could make my ressies, and the CM who answered said, "Ummm...yeah, I guess." So I made all the important ones and am going to call and make the less important ones today. So far we booked Chef Mickey's (at the 180 day mark) and last night did 1900 PF, Akershus Princess Storybook, & Crystal Palace.

 

[Juliet25]

I was able to make ressies for March 21-22 as well as CM on March 26. Thanks for the info on this thread.

I'd call back and tell your CM that your "friends" have made their late February/March reservations today, could she/he please check with a supervisor? Dining is allowed to start making any ADR's that are loaded in the system (which by now is most of them) today!!

I'll be on the phones soon, call me! LOL!

 

[slp87]

I just got all of mine for March 10 - 20!!! Now I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn tomorrow!

Here's where we will be:
3/13 Crystal Palace 8:05 am
3/15 Sci-Fi 12:30
3/16 'Ohana 6:30
3/17 1900 Park Fair 6:40
3/18 Whispering Canyons 6:30
3/19 Cape May Cafe 9:00 am
3/20 Le Cellier 6:30

1900 & 'Ohana we the only 2 that I had to adjust times on.

You guys are soooo lucky! I am still waiting patiently for my time to call for April! Glad you are having good results and getting what you want.

I agree with you LVSWL! I am going in April too and hope that we are able to book our ressies with ease like our fellow DISer's.

Congrats to all who have them! Good luck to those calling tomorrow!

Wish a little pixie dust to us April travelers!

we met 2 Dining Ressie CM's on the bus on our last day at MK - (and they will NEVER tell anyone again that they are dining reservationists DH felt sorry when others started to "attack" them about uncontrollable issues - like never being able to get a CRT ressie)

She said one thing that caught my attention - that she'd appreciate it if we did hold on and answer the short review after the call - that the CM's are being graded on that -

the other thing is she tried to explain how now she will be able to see a week's worth of ressies on one screen - (and I've not read this thread so I'm sure you've researched and know more about the new system than I do!)

I usually hang up because I dont think I have anything to "report" for the survey, but now I'm going to make sure and hang on and give the positive feedback!!

Thanks, I tried back earlier today and fourth time was a charm! I got all of my ADR's for February!
