Dec 1-8...When can/should I make ADRs

[overthemoon4mickey]

We are going to The World dec. 1-8th and most likely staying at either POR or WL. My question is can I make ADRs when we haven't yet booked our rooms. At the time of travel our kiddos will be DD8 and DS 22mo. Any tips for ADR, TS or CS meals. We spent 10 days in Sept. 2006 (7 days planned and 3 extra because of hurricane Rita.....Always get the vacation insurance...covered all 3 days...food and lodging! ) and ate a a lot of great TS meals but CS was only so so. Any tips or suggestions?



Thanks in advance you guys are great!!!

I would call and adrs NOW!!!! I am going to the world on Dec 8-14th and made all my adrs weeks ago. It will be ok to make the adrs now even though you havent booked you are past the 180. Good Luck and have a great trip.

Quote taken right from this site (http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining.htm) Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort can make all of their dining reservations for the length of their stay (up to 10 days in advance) at 180 days from their arrival date.

Guest are already making reservations for December 1, 2007 and beyond...since June 4, 2007. Today guest for December 27 starting making ADR's.

You can make them 190 days in advance if you're already staying at an on-site hotel, but since you haven't booked yet and we're within 180 days, you can still make the reservation. Better hurry and start finalizing your list. I've got most of mine done which includes Le Cellier at 7:10pm on 12/12/07. This will be our first time there.

Make them now. I have a trip planned for Dec. 8-11 and not sure if I'll keep it, but made my ADRs just in case. There are lots of stuff happening the beginning of December with the parade filming and pop warner. It is also one of the lowest times of year for DVC members to use their points, so the DVC locations get pretty much filled (there are even DVC members waiting now for rooms at SSR for the beginning of Dec.). I wouldn't wait to long to book your room either.
