Any Truth to the ADR Resort Hierarchy?

[Abharmagic]

A few months back I remember reading about a supposed (unconfirmed) hierarchy that was going to begin with ADRs. From what I remember it was something like: Deluxe Resorts get 1st choice at ADRs at 180 +10... then Mods... then Value... then guests not staying onsite.

Did this happen- is this happening now? Anyone know the *true* pecking order if one so exists (ie. does the most expensive room get the best choices of ADR times) or was this all just a rumor?

I don't believe it. We have never stayed at anything other than values and I have always gotten the ADR's I wanted. In fact, for this trip I booked my ADR's way before I booked a room ressie and was able to get everything I wanted.

I can't imgine that this is true or how this would even be policed.

Don't forget DVC, weren't we supposed to get first shot?

If you're not staying onsite you don't get to make 180 + 10 reservations at all, so that's the only heirarchy I can come up with. I don't see it happening in practice. To my knowledge you don't have a better shot at a hard to get reservation depending on the type of resort you're staying at.

that's it. off-site gets the leftovers of anyone staying onsite booking 180 days in advance...after that it's a level playing field
