ADR's - when to make them?

[amystevekai&bump]

I know the answer is here and I might have even asked this already myself - so please excuse this (my memory is dreadful at the moment - please accept my excuse that I'm pregnant as the thought that it is due to age is !!)

Right, we are staying at the poly for 3 nights only - but I want to make adr's covering a period of 13 days. Can I ring on the first available day and make the lot? Just the 3 days that I'm at the poly? Or something entirely different?

Plus I've read somewhere about 180 days + 10 - whats that all about?? and does it apply to me??!!!

Yes I'm dopey and forgetful but I promise to save your replies this time and not ask again!!!

Hi Amy, you are excused I've been there 3 times, completely understand!
In your case, you can start making ADRs 180 days from the date you check in at the Poly (lucky you!) and then for the first 10 days of your trip as you are staying on disney property, even if not all of those days are, its the first one that counts As you are doing a 13 day trip, you may need to ring back for the last 3 days 180 days before each of those days, so you are looking at one phonecall for the first 10 days, then 3 phone calls for 180 days after those last 3 days, so to save the phone bill, I would just wait till those last 3 days have all gone past the 180 day mark.
Hope i haven't confused you more

Hi

Do you know that services such as Telediscount offer calls to USA for 1p per minute. You dial their access number first: 0844 861 78 78 then a recorded message confirms the rate then you dial the full US number 001 etc followed by the hash key (#) as instructed (see their website for more info). We've used it for all our dining/tour reservations (3 weeks worth). Having booked the first 10 days ADRs in one go we waited 10 days and started ringing up daily, although a couple of times the operator did ask if we wanted to make any other reservations so were able to do a few days at a time (seemed to be down to the individual operator to make the offer) so ended up only needing 4 calls.

Cheers
