I'm not convinced that the right even knows that there is a left!

So frustrating !!!!! Called today like everyone else and was todl Mid to Late January. I am traveling April 6th - that is less than 90 day window. I have lost faith in the moms panel. Seems like they are very inaccurate.

Mid to Late January??? What is that all about??

The CM I spoke to said that they don't have any idea when the ADR window is going to open up. I asked her if she thought later this month and she laughed then said that my guess was as good as hers. She advised to keep calling every week. There is the automated message when you call letting you know that bookings can only be made through March 22 (except for V&A, Chef Mickey and Cindys).

I asked her about the May hours and she laughed again! She said that if she had to guess, May and June hours would probably come out around the same time.

I agree. It was my understanding that these folks on the Moms Panel were a direct extension of WDW, so therefore their info should be correct. I can't believe I will have to wait until January for my early April ADRs. At least the March people got 4 months didn't they. I think that they got to book in Nov.

*******UPDATE 12/1/08*******
Unfortunately Disney's Mom panel proved to be a bum source. Those calling this morning have reported no change to the ADR system dates and are unable to reserve anything past 3/22/09.

Wow, a big thumbs down to the mom's panel for the crummy info. It's even more frustrating that the q&a with the December 1st date is still on their site.

There better be a Disney World in May lol. Better not be closing LMAO.

I had a list all ready to call and get my reservations for the end of April....guess we are all in the same boat and will just have to wait.....Like when we went in September, a last minute trip surprise.....we could only have one TS restaurant but we still had a great time......we didnt starve ....but would of enjoyed a few more TS if we could of gotten in.
Good luck to those who are going sooner then we are.....

Argh!!! How annoying - I was going to call today as well. Sigh.

those of going the end of March still haven't gotten to book either! I'm still waiting to book March 23-28, so I'm in the same boat as you, only with even less time before my trip!

I'm exactly in the same boat as you.

 

[Pumbaa_]

row row row your boat........

all together now!

on theplus side, NO ONE can make any ADR's so you are not losing out to anyone else.

Stay tuned, we do tend to get some great accurate updates from our 'insider'

 

[Lynn5700]

That is true. I think that we will all still be able to get what we want. not like it will all be booked up as soon as we call.

I called this morning on the way to work and was told the exact same thing. We're travelling 4/22. This is taking all the fun out of my planning. I won't have enough time to change my plans 10x before our trip!!! LOL.

 

[MinniesYooHoo]

But WHEN OH WHEN will it be up and running?!?! I'm going crazy!

on the same day. One CM says call in a week, one says December 20th, another says mid January!

Only Disney could run their business like this and get away with it. (OK, maybe the post office since again, it's the only one of it's kind, too)

Now I've got to set the reminder on my phone, yet again! I think I'll do them all at once, just in case I need all the dates. It takes almost as long to remember how to do is as it does to sit on hold on the days I call!

 

[catne]

ARGGGGHHH! from me also.

Dear Santa...2 things I want...the May 2009 WDW calendar to be updated, and let me book my ADRs! Puhleez!

But, I just keep telling myself...in December 2007, people could call for May 2008 ADRs. But I didn't even book our rooms until January, and then I didn't call for ADRs until February 2008...and I got our first choice,preferred time & day for all our ADRs (including Le Cellier on an Epcot EMH & Calif Grille & CRT on Memorial Day weekend.) And that was only a little more than 100 days out. So, deep breath...even if May 2009 can't book until January I just bet we'll still get what we want.

 

[Angel4135]

It just stinks!! I was able to make my reservations for 3/21 and 3/22. It's hard to have 2 days booked and to have to wait for the other 6 days. I guess we could have bigger problems, like not going at all!!

 

[woodleygrrl]

I hear you all... I am going on May 16-26 and this is the first family vacation we have all taken together in over 15 years. We are celebrating my dad's
60th birthday and so help me if I can't get the California Grill, I am going to be mad!

I am feeling your frustration. One of the best parts of a Disney trip is the planning and replanning and the replanning and the replanning etc.... We will be in Disney from March 24-31 and I cannot even start to make my ADRs, it just really stinks that they couldn't have had that window open for the whole month of March. Oh well, it is just one more thing that I will have to be obsessed with until our trip.
