Dining reservations question

[brekin67]

I arrive to Disney on September 20th, but we are not planning on using our dining credits until September 21st. Is my 90 day reservation mark for the date that I will be arriving at Disney or the date of my first dining reservation.

Thanks,

You can start booking at 90 days before your checkin date and then you can book reservations for that date + 10 days out from there. So 90 days beofre your checkin you will be abole to book dining thorough September 30th.

It's the date of your arrival, but you may have to lead with that on the phone. Make sure the cm understands and looks up your ressie, then you can use your 90+10. AQnd if you get a cm that doesn't get it, call back.

One wrinkle, there is no need to book reservations in chronological order. A system that has worked well for me, taking advantage of the 90+10 booking window, is to try to book the most popular and desired ADRs first, and asking for reservation towards the end of our stay. I think that that if I am connected as soon as the reservation line opens, I start dialing at about 6:57, asking for a reservation at 90+7, we typically stay for a week, there are not many people that have had a chance to make an ADR before us. The system has worked well for us so far.

Excellent plan!
