Fantasmic-booking how far out?

[slyster]

Hi...my 180 ADR day is coming up next week and from my understanding, you can book the Fantasmic dinner package at that time (180 days). However, just playing around on the disney dining website, I was curious about booking a few months out. They disney website, doesn't seem to let you book more than 3 months ahead (won't let me book/look beyond June)?

If that's the case, would I just call to reserve the fantasmic dinner package?

Also, on a side note, I keep reading that the ADR online system isn't reliable, in particular, for those wanting to book at their 180 day mark PLUS 10 days. Are many of you finding problems with their online system?

I noticed the same thing (no bookings online past the end of June even though it says you can book up to 180 days out).

The other thing that bugged me about the online system is that it always gives me a lunch ADR (time is always around 1:30), regardless of the date or restaurant (I have a hard time believing that every dinner ADR time is booked up for all 3 restaurants from now until the end of June).

I'm more of a book online kind of person than over the phone (I hate going through all the hoops before I can actually talk to a live person plus it seems like everytime I talk to 3 different CM's I get 4 different answers). But I'm getting the feeling that with the Fantasmic dinner package, the way to play it is to call and if you don't get the answer you want the first time, call again until you do.
