Okay i have played with this a little now. Thanks for the link. Now questions. 1. What time is the earliest you book 90 days out? 2. Is this faster or calling faster?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Free dining is going to make this challenging.

You can begin booking 90 days before your trip. This will be my first time booking online but from these boards it sounds like lots of people are having success. I would think it is quicker than calling - or at least I'm hoping it is!

I tried on-line ressies a couple days ago and it worked great! The nice part is that you can do it starting at 6am while calling you can't start till 7 am. I got everything I wanted except one and called around 9 am and got that too!!! Going for 8 days in Nov. and had one ADR for each day.It was pretty quick too ...total time 18 min.

Wow what a nice option to be able to book online, would have been nice during my last trip, I think I spent an hour on the phone trying to get different ADRs.

Do you book one at a time?

 

[Boppintothetop]

You can book one at a time or you can add them to your cart then when you check out, it will list them for you. It is WAY easy. It gives you other options as well. For example if you request 7:15 and there is no opening, it will show you other times like 7:25 or other restaurants at that time. I, for one, like seeing it in front of me.

Can you book ADR's online if you are getting the Free Dining?

Yes indeed.

Sept 11 is my ADR day. It seems silly that I'm so excited about making ADRs.

Thanks jobie61! I have another question though---do I have to specify somewhere online that I am on the free dining plan when I try to make my reservations? My 90 days is a few weeks away yet & I've never done it before so thanks for answering

Couple of quick questions:

1. For the more popular restaurants, would you book them one at a time, or just add to you cart?

2. Once you have added a reservation to your cart, how long to you have to "check out" before that reservation gets dumped back into the pool?

My window opens next weekend (at 3am since I am on Pacific time!!!), so TIA for any help!
