ADRs with 2 Resort Reservations

[mom2randj]

I had to make to make two separate Resort reservations b/c I received a PIN code that started the 2nd day of our vaca...so I have the 1st reservation for one day only (Sat. 10/22) only and the 2nd reservation for the remainder of our trip (Sunday 10/23-Sat 10/29). My question is my 180 days for the 10/22 arrival date is April 25th. Can I make my entire ADRs for the rest of the week on that day? or do I have to wait until April 26th which is the 180 day mark for the 2nd Resort Reservation (since the 1st Reservation is a one-day only reservation). Finally, I have heard resort stayers can book 10 days in advance of 180 days. Does that mean I can book on April 15th?. Do you have to call those in since the WDW online site is only set up to take reservations 180 days out? Sorry for so many questions...I thought I had this all figured out until I found out I had to have two separate resort reservations.

First to clarify the +10 rule: If you are staying onsite you can make the first 10 days of ADRs at 180 days from your arrival. Not 10 days early.

2 reservations: This was my experience. I was able to make the first 10 days of my ADRs at my check in for my first reservation even though I switched resorts mid trip (I'm staying 2 weeks and my +9 and +10 were during my 2nd reservation). BUT to make ADRs beyond my +10 I had to wait until 180 days from my 2nd reservation check in.

You should be able to make all your ADRs online on April 25 using your 1st reservation number. If you have to call in don't be surprised if the CM makes you wait a day for anything beyond your first 2 days (room only checkin and check out day)....I've heard of them doing that.

ohhh..ok, that makes sense about the +10 rule. Thank you for the clarification...gives me more time to figure things out too.

I do have access to do it online so I will definitely be trying to do them all on 4/25. I didn't know if the dining reservations part "knew" how long your booking was for (in my case 1 day for the 1st resi) or if it would let you book up to 10 days regardless of your check out date.

thanks!
