ADR vs. PS

[Ltl Mermaid]

This is kind of a random question...but I want to know! When did Priority Seatings (PS) change to Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs)? I though, until I found this board) that they were still called priority seatings! What is the difference (if there is one)? Like I said, sorta random but I'd be very interested to find out! Thanks

I'm not sure exactly, but I know that when I made my reservations at 180 days for last December's trip (in July, I believe) they had already made the switch, so at least a year.

Also, most WDW CM's don't say "ADR's" - some don't know that "abbrev." yet Most will say "reservations" now. Doesn't matter to me. It still works the same as the Priority Seating system, so I don't know why the name change, esp. since they all say "reservations" now anyway. I prefer "Dining Fastpass" myself.
