Getting close to time to book our holiday ADRs. I usually don't stress about ADRs anymore as my kids are growing up, but for NYE week it's a must! This will be our fifth NYE there, but we didn't go last year so I'm trying to refresh my brain on how best to book these and/or find out if anything is different.

Book online since it opens at 6AM instead of the phone line which opens at 7AM, correct?

Has anyone had better luck booking with their iPhone Disney app as opposed to their computer?

If we're staying on property can I still book 180+10 days out even if my first ADR I want isn't specifically on that first arrival day? In other words, can I start off booking NYE specifically even though that is not our actual arrival day? Does that make sense? :confused3:lmao:

And as far as online goes, I guess I need to go ahead and make sure our ressie shows so that I will be able to book at 180+10 out? It's a DVC ressie, so I don't know if those sometimes don't show up? Seems like I had trouble once, but this was awhile back.

Thanks so much for any help! :wizard:
 
I'll try to help with what I can...

I've been working on our ADRs this week and we're DVC too, so I can speak to those. I started online at 6am Florida time (3 am our time :sad2:) and did what I could. We had a larger group, so I did have to call for some. So I called at 7am and did some more. Yes, you can book starting 180 from your first night and then go 10 days into your reservation from there. Online did take my dvc reservation #, but it did have trouble with the fact that I had a linked reservation, and it didn't want to take reservations past the end of my first reservation#. So I did have to call MS at 9am to straighten that out and make yet some more reservations. Crazy morning!

Epcot reservations for Epcot have been an issue for people all month it sounds like, but this week they've been opening up a very few each day, until today when more were available, so hopefully you'll be able to get everything you need in one day!
