HELP! Does online ADR system recognize your length of stay?

[cgorn]

I am currently on hold at WDW-DINE (wait time: 30 minutes!). We arrive in WDW on 12/4 for a 6-day vacation. I calculated that I can make ADRs for the entire stay starting today. I tried online. I successfully retrieved my stay information, but I can't select a date later than 12/4/09.

Am I doing something wrong, or do you still need to call if you want to make an ADR for a day during your stay that's greater than 90 days out?

Thanks,

Chad

Select the restaurant you want and then link to your reservation. Once you do that, then the rest of the days will open in the calendar for you.

I clicked the restaurant, clicked Make a Reservation, retrieved my reservation info, and I still can't see future dates.

I couldn't either this morning and had to call. It's not just you--we're all in the same boat.

Did you click the date range button?

 

[cgorn]

Yes. Didn't help. I also can't see the list of restaurants (getting Java null pointer exception error).

We also arrive on 12/4 and it didn't work for me either this morning, so I called at 7:00AM -- waited about 5 minutes. I only needed one ADR and got one, but not the best time. I'll try as my date gets closer to see if I can get a better time. I have to do this again next Friday as we are a split stay and doing the cruise in the middle. Next week I'm trying for Narcoossees and a CP.

The system has been having issues since at least yesterday - it's not you.

I was able to get all of the ADRa I needed with the reservtion for the first stay. We're doing a split stay, too, with a cruise in the middle. Dec 2-5 at WDW, cruise Dec 5-12 and then back to WDW for the night of the 12th. I can get to the 12th and 13th to do reservations now using the reservation number for the Dec 2-5 stay.

Wow, did you do it online? I asked the CM if I could and she said no. Are you at your DVC resort on both ends? I'm at POR at the beginning, but at BWV at the end.

When we wanted to perhaps change one of ours yesterday, the system would not work. I had already booked many ADRs in my +10 window, so I know the system allows it, but for whatever reason, last night it flat out wasn't working. You could book it for 90 days only.

I'm going to try again shortly. Had my window been today and I got up at 6 am, I'd be pretty po'd.

I am on a split DVC stay, with 4 different reservation nos, they would not allow me to do 90+10 over the phone but I had no problem doing it on line once I figured out how to get it to work. I had to clear cookies and change browsers but got it to work eventually. I just hope they don't change the online system again.

I am in the same boat. I called and was able to get the two character dining ressies that we wanted but now I want to make some other res. and I have been on hold for 30 min and still can not get the system to let me retrieve my resort res.

 

[mckinnonlori]

just spoke with tech support and a few of their servers are down. they are working on the problem - but she did say just keep exiting your browser and starting over and you may get a server that is up and running.

Yes, online. I'm at VWL at the beginning of the trip and BLT at the end.

We're doing the same thing - WDW, DCL, and then WDW again. When I retrieved my first WDW ressie, I could see a couple of days after our cruise. I went ahead and booked one of the restaurants for our second WDW stay w/o a problem. Now, that I'm trying to go back to that first ressie, I keep getting an error message and can't retrieve the ressie. I can retrieve my second WDW ressie, but it does me no good right now because the 90+10 won't open up for a week.

After being on hold for 40 minutes this morning (from 7:15 to 7:55EST), I got a person. I was unable to get Chef Mickey's on 12/5, but I did get Crystal Palace for 12/5 and Chef Mickey's for 12/8.

Our goal was to go to CM's early enough to make rope drop on 12/5, which would be our first morning at WDW. So here's the question:

If we get in to Crystal Palace at opening (our ressie is at 8:!5 but I was told if we get there 15 minutes early we might be seated), and we get done in time to see the rope drop, are we allowed to do so?

Thanks!

Me too! I was on line yesterday and couldn't get anything past my check-in date, but I called and got most of what i wanted. I wasn't on hold long but the Woman i spoke to had some troubles on her end. I would definately call. Dont wait or they will all be gone by the time you get in. Especially with the Dining plan being free until Dec 17th. Good Luck...Here's a little Pixie dust to help you along..hee hee

 

[j-ariel]

I have been there too many times to count and never seen that, I am so jealous..good luck
