Booking 180+10 question

[Aytons4him]

Hi mastermind! Just reading this thread and trying to wrap my head around the logistics for booking for dining.
When you say you had your restaurants set up on your separate screens first to be ready to go does that mean you were using a computer and had them up in different windows?
I ask because I have the my experience app on my iPad so I can't do that and was wondering then if it would be better for me when it comes time to book to use a computer instead?

I didn't have the restaurants set up on separate screens, but I was on my laptop. Here's what I did. The night before I added a credit card to my account. Then at 5:55 am, I made sure I was logged into my account by clicking on my iternary under the my Disney Experience link. Then I went to the day I wanted. In my case, Friday, Oct. 16 because I was trying to CP at 8am and BOG dinner on this day. And then I clicked on the tab that said add plans and chose add dining. Clicking on add dining took me to the dining reservation page. My date I wanted (10/16) was already in the date box and I just chose my time (7:30) and when my computer clock clicked over to 6:00, I hit the search button. 8:05 was available for CP so I booked it. Then went to reservation screen and made sure the date was correct and searched for BOG dinner. I got everything I wanted and most were at the times I wanted.

I have an iPad, but I prefer to use the computer. I can do things faster on the computer. Some people said the app worked for them and others said they had problems. Then again some people experiences problems using the website. I guess I got lucky and everything worked for me.

Quick question... We will be going in October for 14 days. My window opens on Monday. So with 180+10 I'm missing four days at the end of the trip. Will I need to call the next day on Tuesday to book day 11? Then do the same on Wednesday for Day 12?

Thanks!

Just finished booking my ADRs, went smoother than I thought it would. Only hiccup I experienced was the last day of my stay wasn't showing up in my windows but after refreshing the pages it was fixed. The multiple screens were the best strategy, I had everything set up and ready to click on Search right at the 6:00 mark. I was so nervous, my hands were sweating, my heart was racing...all this stress because my itinerary depended on when I could get ressies (Sheesh!) SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited that I got all of my must-do's:

Planet Hollywood 6:00
Crystal Palace 8:15 (happy dance!!!)
Rainforest Café (AK) 4:30
Tusker House Safari Breakfast 8:00
TREX 6:00
50's Prime Time 5:00
Biergarten 1:55
San Angel Inn 1:50
O'hana Best Friends Breakfast 7:30 (YAY!!! get to ride the monorail to MK!)
Be Our Guest 4:55 (not the day I originally wanted, but now that I think about it, it'll be a nice final day in MK before we leave)

I know I should be content, but is it wrong that I want to try to get an 8:05 for CP instead??? Anyone else get the reservations they really wanted? I can only imagine how many people were up at 5:00 AM along with me this morning

Yes, you can call for each additional day.
