Are you booking ADR's 180 days out?

[Allison]

Thanks, Allison! Our 180 days begins tomorrow, and although I'm not worried about making ADRs right at that mark, I do want to have them by week's end. You've been a big help!

You're welcome. Have a great time. We will be there June 6-14. I can't wait.

I know you can call say on the first day (of the 180 day mark) and make ADRs for your entire trip, but does that include PSB, too? So if I wanted to book PSB and it's on Tuesday and I am calling starting on Monday would they reserve it or do I have to call seperately on the a.m. of the day I want (180 days before)? Sorry...I don't always explain things well.

I cannot believe I am late again! I vowed this year to make every ressie exactly at the 180 day mare, and missed it again! Interesting to see how many others are making ADR's 180 days out. Guess we'll see when I try to book CRT! We leave 5/28.

Also, for Previous poster, I am fairly certain you need to stay on site to make ADR's. They always ask you for your reservation number when you call....someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You can also use your phone number. How do you all calculate your 180 days? Do you all count each day, do you estimate 6 months out, or is there some sort of 180 calculator you use on one of the sites? (I'm not sure if there is one or not. I'm asking.)

Well, I did all my ADR's today!! Wahooo!!! I got everything I wanted at every time, so I don't think too many people are "hip" to the 180 day rule, or they just don't plan that far out. Better for me!!

Anyway, we are leaving 5/28-6/8 and I was able to get everything I wanted so far.
Here is what I've gotten so far pending changes.

There is a calculator on allearsnet.com that will show you dates of when you can call. go to dining or the menus and you'll see a link somewhere around there. You can call 180 days from the first day of your trip and make ADRs for your entire trip, but I am not sure if you can book Cindy's Castle or Princ. Storybook breakfast or The Luau (that was my question). You may have to call on that particular day (180 days out) for one of those specific meals. HTH

You can reserve everything!! All kids activities, CRT, all of it!! We just did it, have fun!!

 

[pbharris4]

Awesome! Now I don't have to get up extra early just to call for PSB..I can do it all at once! Where can I find out about kids activities?

Info on the kids activities are in the link you provided above. If you look under "book 180 days out" area it shows the pirate cruise and others. There is a link right next to it that says "more info." click on that it's pretty good.

Basically what we always (try to) book is the pirate cruise and adventures in cooking. The pirate cruise takes the kids out on the lagoon to look for treasure. They are given lunch and really cute mickey pirate hats. Great time, they love it!

The adventures in cooking is the chef @ Grand Floridian comes down, all the kids get a chef hat & apron and they cook with the chef. My boys LOVE this!! They made cookies and hot cocoa last time, which was really good. Don't know if they change the menu, but it's fun!! Hope that helped. Book early, there are not many spaces. I lost out last trip in Oct., won't do it again!

lionqueen..thank you soo much. I didn't even know the calculator included that (guess I didn't read it through). I have seen that Adventures in Cooking on some show (Travel Channel or Food Network). I really would love for my DD to do that! Thanks again! I am so happy!!!

PSB, LTT, CRT .... What are the names of these?

PSB, LTT, CRT .... What are the names of these?

Princess Storybook Breakfast, Liberty Tree Tavern, Cinderellas Royal Table. If you want to know more abbreviations..there is a thread near the top of the main forum page that probably has more abbreviations. It's just easier to post using those than typing the names out all the time.

Ty! Ty!

Well, I'm getting my list of places to dine together right now

 

[MomofKatie]

Absolutely, I an planning to make our ADRs 180 days out!

But, I have already planned out what attractions we will be doing at which parks and on which days for our next trip, and it is almost 2 YEARS AWAY!!

My name is Jen, and I am a Disney Planning-aholic.

I just called and made reservations for CP for a late lunch for late April and had no trouble at all.. I was a little worried since some were saying they were having trouble getting what they wanted.. Also I was impressed that my call was answered right away, no wait at all..
We are staying off-site and had no trouble still making the reservations..
