Dining Reservations

[momallboy]

Just want to let everyone know you can get dining reservations actually 190 days out if you have a resort reservation. I was able to book my reservations before IPO, she was very embarassed when I asked about this as she did not know what I was talking about. Then she logged into WDW and was able to see what I was talking about. Just wanted to pass this on since I already have my ressies for Le Cellier for 12/12/10 and just booked Les Chefs for the 14th this morning.

Have a great day,

Wendy

It is not 190 days out.It is 180 +10 , meaning you can book at 180 days out from the start of your trip and book up to 10 days worth of ressies at a time.If you were allowed to book at the 190 day point, it is because of a glitch .

Yes, what RM said . . . 180 days from your arrival date plus the following 10 days. You can start booking online at 6am EST . . .

Actually, you two are wrong today! (Well it's a glitch as rmulieri stated).

There is a known problem with the system right now allowing what the OP posted to be totally true.

See this very long thread that is being updated - one of the last posts outlines in great detail what the current status is.

It's been going on for a few weeks.

Actually, right now it's 190 days.

There's some debate whether it's a bug or not, but you can make ADRs for any restaurant available online except CRT and the dinner shows at 190 days from today. When it asks you to confirm your reservation, you simply enter the last date available (or any available date) and it will open up the extra 10 days. You don't even need a valid resort reservation to make it work (12345678 has worked for me during testing).

Again, we're unsure at this time whether or not it's a bug. I'd lean to yes, but we don't know yet.

Wow... I read some of the posts on the link, most of the recent ones. It does sound like a glitch programming the 180 plus 10. If they correct it, I sincerely hope it doesn't "correct" the "early entries" (ie. cancel them) as the posted "rules" haven't changed. As it is, I go in about once a week to confrim my ADRs are still "OK" as I have heard some stories (and I'm obsessed ) (I made mine about 3 weeks ago) . . . Seems anytime systems are upgraded, things get weird

To date, there have been no reported ADRs canceled that were made early due to the bug. Just for peace of mind .

The programming bug, yeah. Let's just say that I'm not overly impressed with the WDW web development team .

CRT, Dinner Shows, and any restaurant that does not use the Online system (Fantasmic packages, CP Packages when they come out, V&A, etc)
