Help with ADR Date

[Melanie415]

Okay, this will be my first time booking advanced dining reservations and I am feeling a little overwhelmed. I feel rather dumb having to ask this but am worried I will get it wrong. Anyone care to confirm what time I should be online trying to book?

We are arriving at Bay Lake Towers Sunday, 10/16/16.
My calculations for 180 Day ADR is Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 6am Eastern Time.

We live in Hawaii (HST) which is 6 hours earlier than Eastern Time. So do I need to stay up until midnight on Monday to book my reservations?

There is no dumb question haha, because I had to the same question before my first ADR, which was exactly 1 week before yours.

April 19, 2016 is your 180 ADR Day

Here's my source for the ADR Day (that one I based my ADR day last week)

And your HST time is correct, you need to book your ADR at midnight April 19, 2016 HST

If you really want to confirm, you can always use the World Clock functionality on a smart phone and set it to EST, so you know the exact current EST time, or type in "current EST time" on google, that'll give you the current EST time and you can work backwards (as a way to double check your calculations)

Thanks Merx! Yes, I just set my computer clock to EST to help soothe my fears of missing out, LOL!
