Dining Window Changes....

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Blatantly stolen from another messageboard.....

As many of you know, a system upgrade is in progress that is impacting the booking window for dining reservations. As development of the new system continues, it has become necessary to adjust the previously communicated fall launch plan date.

Starting August 30, 2008 all guests will be able to book advance dine reservations for dining dates up to February 22, 2009. This adjustment supports a reservation window of no less than 90 days.

We expect booking to return to normal by November 21, 2008, allowing Disney Resort Guests to book up to 180 days prior of arrival (for up to the first 10 days of their vacation), and non-Disney Resort Guests to book up to 180 days prior to the date they wish to dine.

Exceptions to this will include Victoria & Albert's, Chef Mickey's and Cinderella's Royal Table. Due to the unique components and special nuances associated with these dining experiences, these locations will not be impacted, and Guest will continue to be able to book up to 180 days in advance.

Online Dining Reservations is currently in the early planning stages, but no official launch date has been released.

Posted by a Dining CM over on wdwmagic's boards. He has never been known to put out erroneous information.
