OK, so my booking window opens tomorrow. It is at 6:00 am eastern, right? Then I can book the full 14 days of my trip, I believe. Is that right? Or is it only the first 10, then I have to do each day as it becomes 10 days out?

Also, is it better to go online to book or to call?

Just trying to figure out how to plan for tomorrow morning.

Thanks!
 
Yes - 6am Eastern is when the ressies open. I believe it is just 60+10 for booking so your last 4 days would be separate.

I find it better to go online. Calling takes too long. You can have multiple browsers going to make more reservations at once. I also do the reservations I feel will be hardest to get first. I never go in day order. Good luck!
 
Booking starts at 6 but sometimes you’ll find you can book a little earlier so I usually get on and check at like 5:45. Definitely book online, phone lines don’t open til 7 I think. And for more than 10 days, you’ll book day 11 59 days before checking, day 12 58 days before checkin, etc. it’s annoying but it is what it is.
 

it only the first 10, then I have to do each day as it becomes 10 days out?

Yes, just the first 10 days, then over the next 4 days you’ll do the remaining days. Better to book yourself at 6, since by the time the phone lines open, a lot of spots will get booked up. Unless you’re trying for a large group (over 8) in which case they might be able to book what you can’t.
 
You can do Days 1-10 tomorrow. Day 11 on Wednesday, Day 12 on Thursday, Day 13 on Friday, and Day 14 on Saturday.
 
Perfect! Thank you everyone.. now, to get up nice and early tomorrow....setting my alarm for 5:30 eastern. looking at restaurants to plan which ones for the days that I can book.
