Is this true????

Is it true that you can make ADRs more than 90 days out if you call the restaruant directly? Meaning not going thru the wdw-dine #???
I just read that on another thread that also the rest. has more tables available and only give a certain number to the wdwdine #.........
What is this, have others here heard of this?

Not true. What was probably said is that many believe that not all the tables are released for booking at 90+10 days out, but some are held back until the actual 90 day window for each day. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. But none of that is about calling the restaurant - you have to do it through the dining line.

(Exceptions - some grand gatherings / large party things require you to contact the restaurant directly, but you would be told that by the dining CMs if that was the case).

Not ture for Disney resturants. But you can for T-REX . I called them at 180 days out.

Ok, so you called a place in DTD....T-Rex. That said, then is there other ones like in the resorts or do they fall under the Disney restaruants that have to wait 'till the 90 day mark?

And what is the 90+10? What does that mean?

It is true if you are talking about some of the restaurants that are not owned or operated by Disney - T-Rex, Rainforest Cafe, Paradiso 37, Big River Grill, some of the other Downtown Disney places like House of Blues, Raglan Road, Portobello and Bongos. It might also be true of restaurants in the Swan and Dolphin, which are not Disney properties. It is not true of any restaurant owned and operated by Disney or any restaurant located inside a Disney theme park.

It might be worth noting that of all the restaurants listed above, only Big River Grill and Raglan Road accept the dining plan.

90 + 10 is an ADR booking advantage available only to those staying at a Disney resort. It means one can call Disney Dining or go online through the Walt Disney World website exactly 90 days from the first day of their reservation and book all their restaurant reservations through Disney for up to 10 days after that.

I would think that anything owned by Disney falls under that.
90 + means you can book your adr's 90 days in advance for up to days days of your trip.
Hope that helps.

1) Calling the eatery will not get an ADR, early or not.
2) You must go through WDW-DINE for Disney eateries.

3) As for extra tables.
4) There are six resort eateries that only book 80% of the tables through WDW-DINE.
5) Allows for walk ups and last minute ressies by the resort's concierge group.

Thank you for the clarification.

Which six resort eateries only book 80% of their tables through WDW-DINE?
