Dining Reservations

[Ciorsdah]

My ADR window opens up on Sunday and I was hoping you might be able to give me advice on the best way to do this. Last year I did everything online (we only had 3 ADRS and were all OOP), but this year all the website problems/MDE app issues etc mean that currently my reservation can't be found on their systems.

Would you say the best thing for me to do is to camp by the phone on Sunday until about 11am and phone them?

The ADRS I want are:

Rose & Crown
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Be Our Guest (not fussy about time/day with this one)
Tusker House (breakfast on the 9th of Nov, as I will have just ran the 5k Jammin' Jungle race at Animal Kingdom)
Teppan Edo
Chefs De France
Via Napoli
Captains Grille (breakfast)

If you make your ADRs by phone, you will not be able to call until 12 noon as the telephone lines for dining do not open until 7am EST.

Otherwise, I think your best bet is just to call and make your ADRs - saves you panicking about trying to do it online.

ETA: If you are checking in to a WDW resort on 31st October, your ADR window actually opens up on Saturday (I believe).

i have always done our ADRs on the phone.It just feels more reassuring to me when ive spoken to an actual person, and of course you get the,"Have a magical day" at the end

Wilma-Bride is correct. We are arriving on November 1st and our ADR window opens this Sunday.

We land on the 31st, but have a night at Hilton Bonnet Creek befroe officially checking into our resort on the 1st of November.

We decided that if we flew the day before, and booked a wee hotel close by, we would get maximum use out of our 14 days tickets and dining!

Thanks for highlighting that to me though Wilma cause I'd have been stuck if I was Disneying from the 31st !
