Hi Sherry,
My family and I will also be at DW in February 2009 (19th until 28th).

You do not need to be on the DDP to make advanced dining reservations.

You can begin making ADRs 180 days from your resort check-in date. When you call at the 180 day mark, you will be able to make reservations for each night of your stay (up to 10 days). Here is a handy calculation calendar so you'll know when to call.http://pscalculator.net/pslist.php

If you choose the more popular restaurants - CRT (Cinderella's Royal Table in the Castle) as well as 'ohana for example, you need to call at the 180 day mark as they fill up quickly.


Hope this information is helpful.

I would suggest calling at the 180 day mark for any of the character meals. Chef Mickey's and the Princess breakfast in Norway are getting to be prized ADR's as well, depending on when you go. I always feel that it's safer to call at 180 and then cancel later if your plans change. Especially if you are not very flexible in terms of which day/which park or needing to eat at a certain hour due to medical or kid needs. Some of us can't get our kids to hold out for those later dining hours. On our first trip, we had a 7:45 at the Rose & Crown and DD(then 4) put her head down on the table halfway through dinner and fell asleep!

Thanks so much for all your help!! It has been a long time since I have been to Disney and things have certainly changed. I will use the handy calculation calendar Sherri (great name btw) I just have to narrow down my choices and pick a week to go!!

Thanks again!!
