Can TA and I BOTH make ADRs at the same time?

[MamaBear58]

Trying to figure out the best way to do this on our ADR day. It's also the day that Soutwest will release its Nov. flights, so I will be doing that first if they hadn't released them 6 hours before at midnight.

If we split up the list is the system going to kick one of us out? Am I better off just letting the TA (Dreams Unlimited) do all the ADRs? Given all the problems with the system do we think TAs have a better shot at the harder to get ones, such as BOG dinner and CRT? On the other hand, I believe that the TA is a few hours behind me (I'm EST) so maybe I should just try to do it all myself?

Any help would be appreciated. Not real good at technology and the problems with MDE frustrate me. I'm overwhelmed.

Thanks.

I would suggest calling and making your ADR over the phone. The CM can be very helpful. I would make a list of where you want to eat ahead of time and what day then go from there : )

I have the same delima...I am hoping SW releases early so it does not mess up my ADR plans. I read that someone had both themselves and their daughter logged into the same MDE account to make ADRs and had no issues so I would think having both you and your travel agent would work. The only problem I see is if your choices aren't available and she books another time or day it may end up conflicting.

TA doesn't think that it's a good idea, for that very reason. I'm East Coast and she is Central, so I am going to do it myself. Am taking a vacation day anyway, so it's fine. I may then "assign" her the later "check ins" and obsessive checkings for cancellation for things I couldn't get. I simply don't have time for all of that.

I did ADR's myself(no TA) and they were fine took 20 min... put them in order of the highest priority first.. I did BOG and CRT pre park first. I got EVERYTHING i wanted. I am booking my return flight homw on Monday as well

Not to hijack, but is there a benefit to booking your flights the minute the schedule is extended? My 180 day mark is Monday which is also the day Southwest extends their schedule, so I planned on booking both Monday too. I figured I'd do my ADRs first at 6am, followed by flights. Unless there is an advantage to jumping on the flights first thing?

Hijackers welcome! I don't think so. At first I thought that it was important, but after seeing what people are going through to get the ADRs, I'm doing the ADRs first too. In my case it helps that I KNOW US Air does have flights on my dates (and better times even). If I had to go with US Air, I could...it would just cost me more. Not sure what your other flight options are.
