confused about calculation of 180 days

[KatrinfromGermany]

Hi!

I am confused about the calculation of the 180 days (for ADR):
We will stay at the Beach Club from 09/25 to 10/02.
When is my "ADR-Day"?

PS Calculator says 03/29/2015, but
WDW info calculator says 03/28/2015.

Totally confused.....

It's March 29th. http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/Mar+29,+2015/to/Sep+25,+2015

Just count backwards on a calendar - it's 3/29/15

So it's the 29 but if wdw says the 28, wouldn't they let you on the 28th?
I assume by wdw you mean the days left countdown in mde
Kinda hard for them to say (honestly and straight faced) you can't make a ressie till 179 days even thoug we advertise 180 and our own site says that's today

Not WDW. She's talking about wdwinfo.com

I've used the calculator on the wdwinfo site and it comes up as March 29.

AKA the dis. (I know you know that, Alesia, just making sure others do)

sorry for the confusion - I was talking about the calculator on wdwinfo.com
For 09/25 (our arrival day) it says 03/28

This is quite strange - I just used the above link and for 09/25 it says 03/28 to me. Am I doing anything wrong?

I just checked - it says 3/29.

Unfortunately, I can't insert a screenshot, but here it shows 03/28.
Perhaps it is a different internal setting in my computer regarding dates???? Weird.
But whatever - I do know now that my ADR day is 03/29. Thanks for your help!

 

[KatrinfromGermany]

it looks exactly the same here - with the exception that the date is 03/28

 

[Alesia]

That's weird.

 

[KatrinfromGermany]

hope this works.....

I'd love to make my ADRs already 1 day ahead of all others
But probably that won't happen....

If you do your calculations using this site, which day does it give you? The 28th or 29th? http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?m1=9&d1=25&y1=2015&type=sub&ay=&am=&aw=&ad=180

Here is a guess ... online ADR opens at 6AM Eastern Time. That is 6 hours behind midnight German time. So 6 AM 3/29 in Germany = midnight 3/28-29 USA. The calculator is probably using a local time adjustment, so if it is counting midnight as belonging to the day before then it will, in fact, open for you on 3/28. Of course, it will not be until midnight ...

Isn't Germany 6 hours ahead of EST? I know we lost a lot of hours traveling from CA to France.

Is Katrin in Germany?

Yes, I meant ahead LOL. That's why I put the exact this time = thing, I always get that backwards.

I admit I made an assumption based on her username being KatrinfromGermany -- but it would explain the discrepancy.
