Calculating my ADR 180 day date

[Merx]

I'll be visiting Disney World first time this coming October, and I'm trying to work out my exact date of my 180-day mark.

I've used some calculators on websites, it's telling me different dates, I really don't want to make a mistake and make my reservation 1 day late.

The 2 websites I've used
http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/pscalc/dispscalc.html
http://www.mousefantravel.com/planning-tools/advanced-reservations-calculator

My first day is 9th Oct, one site is telling me 11th April, and the other is 12th April.

If someone who has made their ADR recently can post me their first day and their 180-mark date, then at least I can work backwards and count the dates to work out my dates.

I'm an International visitor, so I don't get any mail from Disney telling me my exact ADR and Fastpass dates (actually I don't think Disney even told me anything about ADR or FP+, but that's another story)

Thanks all in advance

you can do a date calculation in excel. My hubby is an excel whiz and he taught me how to do date calculations in spread sheets, lol...just go into excel and type in cell A1 10/09/2016 and then he cell A2 type in =date(year(a1),month(a1),day(a1)-180) and that should give you your date for ADRS.

According to this, your day is April 12. It was right for mine (arriving 6/7, ADR date was Dec 10).

You ADR 180D is April 12th. I always use the same tool for my ADRs.

You can also check on the main page of My Disney Experience - when you're logged in it will tell you what day you can make your reservation.

On the page, it just says 191 days to go, doesn't say the exact date like xx April 2016.

I'm from Sydney Australia, so we are like 16 hours ahead or something, the time zone differences confuses me a lot (I'm not very good at time conversions), hence I just want to confirm on this forum so I don't book my ADR one day late haha

you can also google time conversions so it does the math for you, lol...If you are using Disney's US site (Not sure if it has an Australia site), then you can book ADRs when FL time is 6AM...I just used my World Clock on my iPhone and it says you are 15 hours ahead of us, So lets say your ADR date is April 12, you can probably make reservations on April 11 @ 9:00 PM from what I am estimating (I think, LOL, or maybe its April 13 @ 9:00 PM)

16 hours ahead of EST?

Then you'd most likely be doing your ADR submissions at 11:00PM/midnight of that same/next day, since ADRs open at 6AM EST online. Via phone it's 7AM.

I like to use the Countdown app on my phone. Just put in my trip dates and when it was at 180 days to go I knew it was ADR time. Of course it's great for counting down days for anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays as well.
