Best Way to Make ADRs?

[AshleeH]

My dining reservations open up in the morning (less than 7 hours) and I've been playing around on the site because I remember it glitching when I had to make ADRs this Spring and it took 10 minutes to figure out how to work around it. After practicing tonight, it looks like it's already glitching. Tomorrow is supposed to open up on January 26 (plus 10), but any restaurant I check right now only goes up to January 23. I did figure out if I log out and go through my profile (in the "Make Reservations" tab) it will open up to January 25, which is what it's supposed to do, but then I check another restaurant and it resets to January 23.

I don't want to have to log out after every single reservation and log back in and go through the profile and find the restaurants page all over again and then scroll through to the right restaurant. What am I doing wrong? I'm going to be there for almost two weeks - that is a lot of logging out to get all the reservations I'll need.

You could try calling and making them that way. I forget what time the phone line opens - its an hour off but I forget it its an hour before or hour after. You could try having multiple browser windows open. I honestly have never made my ADRs at 7am at 180 days out. Combo of never planning a trip out that far and the one time I did I used a TA. I've managed to get everything I wanted

How did you make out? We recently did ours online and it went really smooth. I hope you got your wishes.

Thanks! I got everything except the last weekend I'm there. I called and since I'm technically doing a split-stay (switching to a different hotel to use some of our DVC points for my birthday weekend), the full 10 days didn't open up . That was disappointing, since I'm still staying on Disney property, so I'm really hoping to get some good reservations for my birthday, but I have to wait for the 180 days for the second reservation to open up. I did manage to get PPO for CRT, CP, Akershus, and a BOG dinner, so those were ranked high on my list .

The 180+10 only applies to the length of stay on your reservation. If you are staying less than that, then the number of days you can make ADRs is correspondingly reduced. A split stay is 2 separate reservations at 2 separate resorts. So yes, you'll have to wait to make the rest of your ADRs.
