I just booked all my ADR's and I'm still 181 days out!

Isn't that weird?
I called to ask about the credit card thing with CRT (and was told that I just needed to show ID that matched the the name the reservation was made in), and I asked her to check to see what is left for Cinderella's Table for September 29 in the morning so I would know if it's worth it to get up at 6:45 am tomorrow. She said she had 9:55 still available and that she had the ability to book it now for me. So we did lol. She wasn't too clear on the 180 day mark thing, she was checking for 190 days from the day I check out. So I am assuming that the open up everything based on 190 days of your checkout so as to allow everyone who calls 180 days out of their check in to have 10 days worth of reservations available.

Another weird thing I've learned about Disney over the past 2 trips, keep asking until you get a CM who will do what you want lol.


Anyone else close to their ADR window who wants to try this out?

I believe you are allowed to do 180 + 10 if you are resort guests (10 being the number of nights you are staying). This is to allow you to make all your ressies at once without having to call back each day. Could this be what happened? JJ

hmmm really? so then I am actually late calling for ADR's? Everywhere I read just said 180 days and that you can book for your whole stay at that point. I never heart of 180 + 10. That's good to know though. Phew at least I still got Cindy's like I wanted!

Great for you! I am going to WDW and my first day is Sept 29th. Does that mean I can call NOW for ADR? I thought I had to wait until April 2nd? If I am wrong someone please tell me. Thanks!

If I understand correctly (and I may not as this is new since my last trip), you can book starting at 180 days from the first night of your stay. At the same time you can also book for the remainder of your trip, up to 10 days. So your first ressie books at 180 days. Then if you want ressies for other days on your trip, you can book them at that same time (up to 10 days out). So first one is still 180 days out, it just saves you the trouble of calling back every day.

But please, any dining experts out there correct me if I am explaining this wrong! JJ
