Dining Ressie online

[MMCD]

I usually don't do the dining plan while I am staying on DVC property. I have been told that we can do the dining reservation online. What is the link to do this online? Can DVC members do online dinner reservation when using points? I thought we do this through member services or calling the dining reservation.

Also, if my family members are using my points to stay at DVC property, can they do online reservation on their own without me doing it for them?

TIA,

mmcd

The on-line dining reservation system is fairly new. Go to: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/restaurants/

Once you select the restaurant you want reservations for, click on 'Book a Reservation'. Once the booking engine loads, look for:

Do you have a Resort reservation for the same days for which you're making dining reservations?
If so, please retrieve your reservation.

and click on the words 'retrieve your reservation'. By associating a room reservation you will be able to book dining reservations for up to 10 days of your reservation from your check-in date.

I hate this new system!!! I cannot retrieve the dinning reservations I made to check them. It tells me the confirmation # is invalid. I think I will just have to wait for MS to open.

I've had no problems retrieving dining reservations that I've made. I'm also able to retrieve ADRs that the concierge staff at AKV has made for me. You are entering the dining reservation number and not your room reservation?

Make sure that you are also using this page to retrieve your dining reservations: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/store/retrieveReservation

I am sooo blind!! I was only looking at my window view. I did not even try to scroll down to see the buttons to book this restaurant.

I don't like the layout. I wish there was a drop down choice for character meals. I'm not in my 90 day window yet. When does the online booking start? 12:01am of my 90 days or after 8am?

TIA,

On the left side is a column titled 'Narrow Your Search', scroll down until you see 'Dining Experience' with a small arrow next to the name. Click on that and it will expand and one of the options is 'Character Dining'.

Online is at 6am eastern.

Does this mean that if you go to make reservations at the 90 day mark for a 1 week vacation, you can actually reserve 97 days ahead for the last day of your trip?

Yes, if staying at a Disney resort you can start making dining reservations 90 days out from your check-in date. You can make reservations for up to 10 days at the 90 day point. This is changing to 180 days on 10/27.

Ya know I just assumed I could put in my room ressie and see them all. Thanks for the tip. On the up side, I was able to book all of my preferred times for the enitre trip (even though we have a split stay).

I called MS on my 90 day window and made my ressies over the phone. Had no problems of course. But I do wonder if you can check those ressies online somewhere? Does any one know the answer to this question?

Subscribing to learn more. I'll be rising early on Labor Day to book my ADRs.
The more I know the better off I'll be.
Thanks.

You should be able to if you know which phone number MS put on the ADR. If you do, enter that phone number and your dining reservation number at: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/store/retrieveReservation

For some reason when I tried on my day 90 I could only book for that day, not the +10. Ended up having to call.
