I don't understand why....

When I booked on the phone they told me I could make my ADR's on 11/23 when I could have made them a month before that. (Traveling to WDW in late feb.) I thankfully got everything we wanted but I would have been beyond mad if I had waited like they said and thn everything was booked.

They very recently changed the rules from 90 days ahead to 180 days ahead.

Yes but this was prior to that switch

I think the 2nd poster was trying to say -- when you booked them, it was still 90 days out to make ADRs and not yet allowing people to do 180 days.

I hope you were still able to get the things you wanted.

It is sometimes frustrating having to book stuff so far in advance!

When we booked they told me OCtober 27th. I did my math for the 90 days and it was a week earlier that I was able to book than I was informed on the phone. We were able to get everything we wanted and just changed a few things a few days ago with lots of availabilty left.

Right. When you called (earlier than 11/23), the booking window was ninety days. Just very recently it changed to 180 days. However, since you can't go back two+ months, you are/were able to make your dining reservations as of the date the 180 days went into effect.
