CRT, CM and plus 10 rule for booking?????

[MaryJPixie]

Hello, want to make ADR'S for both of these. Can you call 10 days earlier from the 180 day mark to make a ressie at CRT or CM if you are staying at a WDW resort????? Any info appreciated....thanks

No. The 180 + 10 rule means you can call 180 days from your first ADR date and make up to 10 days more of ADRs without having to call for each day of your trip.

That is so weird that you say that because today I booked priority seating for CRT and I will be there on April 13. That is more than 180 days. In fact my 180 will be on October 15. Here it is a week earlier and they booked it. They didn't even check my reservation, they just asked me what resort I was staying at and that was it. So to answer the OP's question, I think that it is 180 days PLUS the number of nights you are staying. For example, I am staying 7 nights total. According to my own calculation, I am at 187 days from my CRT reservations, even though the reservationist didn't ask. Maybe she found me by my name or phone number, but it didn't seem like she verified much.

They are currently revamping their ADR system, so there may be some oddities going on. For a while recently, most ADRs were limited to 90 days out.

I just tried to make our reservations for Chef Mickey's and Cinderella's Royal Table today and 2 different CM's said that I couldn't yet. I told them what day I was checking in on and today is exactly 180 days out. I gave them my reservation number and said I would like to make my reservations that would fall in the 180 +10 day category and they both said that the 180 +10 rule is not in effect right now due to the system upgrade. They can only make reservations for 180 days exactly - no +10 option. The first guy said that normally you could, but not right now. He said that anything after the 180 day mark (which is April 10) comes up unavailable. He said that tells him that no reservations can be made for more than 180 days. He said I would have to call exactly 180 days from the date I want to eat at Chef Mickey's and Cinderella's Royal Table. Not sure how these other people are getting reservations for 180 +10 days. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to say when I call the reservation line that has been able to get reservations for 180 +10?
