Clarify 90 plus 10 rule for reservations

[tebookie]

I understand all ADRs can be made 90 days from your reservation.
Then you can make reservations for 10 days past that correct?

So my day 1 could be someone else day 10 day?

Does reservations require a resort confirmation # to open up the plus 10 window?

Correct.

Yes. Otherwise you will only be able to book exactly 90 days from the day you call.

This is exactly why getting an ADR for a place like LeCellier can be almost impossible. I called at 7am on my 90 day mark, and it was booked everyday of my trip.

We've had quite a few reports that Disney holds tables to release on the exact 90 day mark, which helps to level the playing field. (Because yes - your day 1 is always somebody else's day 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2)

If you can't get something (like LeCellier) try calling back 90 days before you want to dine there. Reports have been almost 100% that people are able to get it at the exact 90 day mark. (when they couldn't get it the day before)

Interesting, I've never heard that before. I'll have to keep that in mind for my next trip.

That's a great tip!!! I was getting nervous for the exact same reason.

We want to do Ohana on our 1st night, but was afraid that it would already be booked by people 10 days earlier than our 90 day mark.

I want to make sure I get this. Some of us are slower than others.

Lets say my trip is Dec 5 to Dec 13 (it actually is )

90 before my trip is Sept 5th? Ok. So I can call Sept 5th and make reservations for Dec 5th + 10 days, so theoretically up to Dec 15th (if my stay was that long)?

You have it, except for the fact that your 90 day window opens on September 6, not September 5. October has 31 days, which throws your date off by 1 day. It is 90 days, not 3 months.

Other than that, you have it right.

Thanks for the tip on the "exact" 90 days from the day you want to eat at a certain restaurant. I never knew that. It should make it easier to get into LeCellier for a trip in Sept during free dining.

WOW Thanks everyone for the tip. This will help me out alot. We are there from Novermber 27 to December 13 give or take a day...we might add more since we got the free dining.
