So is this definitely a definite? I know this sounds weird but before they went to the new system the CM that booked my August Bounceback offer said that it would be 90 days until the new system got moving without flaws and then it would revert back to the 180 day booking window????? She told me that by the time my 180days came around it should be back to booking at that window? Just curious wouldnt want to miss out but guess I wont if I stay here!

Just got off the phone with Disney Dining because I wanted to confirm the 90 day rule on the HDD...CM said 90 days for HDD, which I thought...

She also said it is not confirmed but next month they may go back to the 180 day window...She said once the software upgrade is complete they will make a final decision...She said to check back at the end of Feb. to see where they are at...

It was weird because I actually did not ask about any of that, just the HDD...She freely gave up that information...I do not know if she was right...I doubt it and will not count on it...Just thought I would share.

so hoop is 90 days too? wow, since hoop has been in existence, you could book it up to 2 years in advance. guess those days are long gone.

Just called tonight when I got home from a party with a person who works for Disney and told her I was checking in on 4/8 and she said you can call tonight. I told her no I called the other day and they told me not till Jan. 7th. I called tonight and got all of my ressies done except. 4/16 and 4/17 the CM told me I had to call back it would not let her go that far but everything else I did get. I had to call twice the first CM would not let me make any!!!!!!!

I got the same message on Wednesday. I'll make sure to check back in Feb. Or better yet keep up with this thread.

I sure hope the parks hours for May is up at LEAST two weeks before the 90 day window opens!! I need some room for planning!

 

[BigGreen73]

I called last Thursday to upgrade my room and the CM said I should call on 02/03 to make the rest of my ressies. 30 days to go, almost there!!

Ok everyone in my house is still asleep. Today was our official 90 day window opening and I just had to tell someone. Had no problem getting in any of our favorite places to have dinner.

Just so everyone knows you will need your reservation number when booking dining reservations. Obviously something new because of the new system. I asked when the system was going on line, cast member said hopefully end of the month.

 

[Tink127]

I just made my reservations since we are within the window. We got in everywhere we wanted to go for dinner. It was perfect. Just so everyone knows you will need reservation number for the resort when booking.

Okay...so I just called WDW Travel this morning to upgrade from the Quick Service Dining plan to the regular plan for our trip in June. While on the phone the CM asked me if I wanted to make reservations for CRT or Chef Mickey's!! So this morning, I was able to make reservations for Chef Mickey's for June 9th and CRT for June 13th!!

I am so excited!!!

Just made all my ADR's and my 90 days is tomorrow! I thought I would give it a try, going by others ability to make them and I got everything I wanted!

This is what I got!

LeCellier (dinner)
Ohana (breakfast)
Crystal Palace (breakfast)
Mama Melrose (Fantasmic package)
CRT (made at 180 days)
Chef Mickeys (made at 180 days)

Yay!

I'd like to chime in here as I am sure some will be nervous about ADRs. We planned a last minute trip on Thanksgiving Day for Dec 20th through the 25th.

We were able to get in everywhere we wanted. The only hard one was 1900 Park Fare, but it was for Christmas Day and I did get it. This was under 30 days that I was able to book these. CM on Christmas Eve too although we ended up eating in the park and didn't keep this one.

Just thought I'd let everyone know. I did not try for CRT. I knew that would be too difficult and frankly, although we do it each trip, it wasn't worth the effort since we've eaten there so much.

H&V, Sci Fi, CP, 1900 Park Fare, Tusker House breakfast.

OK here is what I just did. I really wanted CM on Father's Day, June 21. As you all know they aren't booking past June 19. SO I called and booked an ADR on June 17. THen when the 90 day window opens, I will call again for the 21. If I get it, I will cancel the one on the 17. I really hope this is OK to do. I probably should have checked here before I did it. Please don't tell me that I am breaking a rule. I hate when I do that.

Hey, the worst that can happen is that I go to CM on June 17. I can live with that.

As long as you cancel the one you won't use, no one should get concerned over what you're doing. You're not breaking any rules. No worries! And just think about how happy some other family will be when they get your canceled CM ADR!

Thanks, I will definitely cancel the one on the 17 if I get one on the 21. I will do this ASAP.

Thanks for the feedback.

I've read that you can now only make ADR's 90 days in advance for WDW restaurants.....is this true of Victoria and Alberts, or can you still book that 180/120 days before?
Thanks
