What time can you start making reservations? Can you do it at mid-night at your 180 mark or do you need to wait until a certain time? Thanks in advance!

You can book online at 6am EST and over the phone at 7am EST at your 180 mark.

At 6 am EST, but I've also read your better off on a computer, open a tab for each restaurant you r going after and have everything else in order like signing in, etc. I'm going to practice over weekend my day is Tuesday! Ive read above go after beginning of the week first
But I was thinking opposite? But I'm coming in on a Sunday and thinking Friday night would be hardest since it's the weekend? Any suggestions are welcomed! So glad my son handles the FPs I'm getting too old for this! Lol!

OP had much better luck than me. I was online before 5 am (an hour behind EST) I was able to get BOG, which was my top priority. However, it's for lunch (dinner was what I really wanted) and on a day which will require me to rethink our plans. That's ok. I knew I'd have to be flexible in order to accommodate the ADR.

The disappointment was not getting Homecoming the first night we get in and Sci Fi for dinner on the second night we're there. I was able to get both later in the week, but again, will have to rework everything. I knew going in to this that it would be harder to get ADRs at the beginning of the week, but it still was frustrating.

We are at OKW, so we always get some groceries and have breakfast before we head out. We'll probably have a lunch or two there this trip, and hit a couple more QS at the beginning of our trip. I really don't know how people with the dining plan do it, unless they just settle for restaurants that aren't their top choices.

I will follow the advice here, and keep trying. It's just frustrating how much time you have to put into getting ADRs now.

If u don't mind me asking why did u think the beginning of the week would be harder? Was it a weekend? Mine is a Sunday to Saturday, I'm thinking Friday night will be harder?

Got all my reservations done online Sunday, had a little trouble at the end, the website was acting up again. But i was able to get all the times I wanted within 1/2 of the original times, even got CRT for breakfast! Can't believe when I looked today there are still available times for CRT. Good luck to everyone still waiting for your 180 window to arrive!

So happy for you. It is such a relief isn’t it.

I was up at 2:45 AM PST to make my dining reservations at 180 days and got them all and at the time I wanted. The only one that I couldn't get when I wanted was 'Ohana, but I just switched days with 1900 Park Fare (Dec 3 and 6). I'm so excited. I wish I could have fit in a couple more reservations though. I really wanted to go to California Grill again and to Boathouse, but I'll have to save them for next time. Now I only have to wait for the Candlelight Processional packages to come out.

So What time PST did the reservations open up? I thought it was 7am EST which would 4am PST? The reason I am asking is I am also PST and start my ADR's on Friday 10+4 And I want CRT, BOG and Ohana. A little stressed out here... I need CRT day one as it's the same day we go to MVMCP so I can't really change my ADR's around too much on my MK day as we are only doing 4 days in the parks. Any advice would be helpful.

Right??? I looked right now and Saturday has a breakfast for CRT which is what I am hoping to get. Awesome you got your ADR's!

I got everything I wanted on Sunday Morning too! Great times and no hassle. I used the website because the app was glitchy

You can do it online at 6:00 AM EST or by phone at 7:00 AM EST.

So, 7am EDT for online and 8am EDT for phone? Why do they describe them in EST during daylight saving time?

 

[Tksolomom]

6:00 AM ET or 7:00 AM ET regardless of if daylight savings time.

No 6 am EST or EDT which ever floats your boat!Both mean eastern standard time! 7 am for DD phone

No, that's wrong. Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Daylight Time are different.

Just got on this morning and the day I was to start booking was already available. For some reason I thought it was 8AM so I hopped on around 7:40. Don't know why I didn't remember that booking starts at 6AM. So up again tomorrow morning! I also have a split stay so that makes it even harder. Maybe the only downside to split stays for me. The next day opened up while I was trying to book the night I wanted for Ohana and again nothing available for the next day. I know eventually spots will open up. They always do but I'm not going to switch my plans around for a restaurant that can be uneven at times. It's not like I can't get food like that where I live. I also couldn't get a brunch at Cali Grill either. I wanted that more than Ohana. Got the time I wanted for a Liberty Tree Tavern lunch for 12/10. We don't have many hard to get reservations on our December trip so I'm not stressing about it. Some of our best meals have been at the lounges. Besides, this year without that 20% AP dining discount and our trip in May, we do have a dining budget this time around. I just hit the reservation finder on TP for Ohana as that has always been helpful in the past. I know I'll get a time eventually but will it be the one I want? If not, then another trip gone by with no Ohana. I'll just switch to something else I've wanted to try instead as I want to make our next trip mostly about places we've never tried.
