Help Me Understand.....

[mickeymouse1017]

I called Sunday for my 90 + 10 ressies and got all my ADR's that I could get at the time for my June trip. I called back today to add the next day and was told that I cannot call for another 10 days, it must be 90 days from the date that I wish to dine. (We are staying for two weeks and in the past have just called back each day to add another day worth of dining.) If I am understanding this correctly, there will be nothing left by that point. Why am I not able to add one additional ressie each day to fill my two weeks? If what I am told is correct, then it seems as if anyone staying more than 10 days is really out of luck with ressies. I was hold for an hour today to be told no but my mother was on hold for an hour and her lady let her make the ressie. Please tell me who is right. I need to understand this for future planning. Thanks for the help!

If you want reservations for 11 days, say from June 1 to June 11, you can call on March 3 and make reservations for all dates from June 1 to June 10. If you want a reservation for June 11, you may not call for that reservation until March 13. You get 10 days calculated only from the first day of your resort stay. You don't get another 10 days calculated from the second day of your resort stay.

Anything 11 days or more from your first day, you need to call back 90 days from the date you plan to eat. And I don't think it likely that everything will be gone at 90 days. Some of the most popular places might be, which is why it's usually suggested to schedule the ultra-popular restaurants within your first 10 days.

I didn't think that you got another 10 days calculated from your second day but in the past it seems as if you were able to add one day at a time after your original 10 days. It seems unfair for people staying longer than 10 days. That is a shame to have to book all of our really exciting meals in the first 10 days just to avoid the possibility of them being booked.

Even if you did that, there are other people calling on their 10 days and there are probably people who got in ahead of you, but unless there is a run on the popular places there should still be some availability at 90 days.

I've done what you are trying to do. I was allowed to call on my "2nd" day and make an ADR for my "12th" day. Call back and try a different CM

Honestly - I wouldn't think waiting 10more days will cause all the locations to sell out. I managed to get all, but one of our preferred ADRs (DxDP) scheduled a month out. I even called a week and a half ago, and made a couple changes. The only place I wasn't able to get was Le Cellier - and I didn't know about it when I called a month out (so I didn't try to get it until less than 2 weeks ago).

Good luck though - I'm sure it will be okay. Of course I was anxious too, but then again - I only booked our trip 6 weeks ago.
