Made ADRs before DDP....

[wlwilliams9]

I made ADRs a couple of months ago before deciding on DDP. Now that we are going the DDP route, do I need to call back to WDW-DINE to let them know? Does it make a difference?

ADR's are by your name and PHONE number and your hotel reservation is added in. You should NOT have to call back.
I spoke to a CM just yesterday about this as I am in a similar situation. Was told that the cm's for dining will ASK for reservation info BUT it is an ENTIRELY different booking system.
Hope this helped!

When you call in to make ADR's they tie them to your phone number.

But they also ask for your reservation number to make sure you are with-in your 180 day mark.

I also asked and was told that you can change your reservation number without having to do your ADR's again.

We should keep asking, because the staff told me this does not mean that its true this year... but this is exactly how it worked last year.

I just made my ADRs 15 minutes ago for free dining. Obviously, since I can't book my free dining reservations till Thursday I didn't have a reservation number to give him. Sadly, I had to tell the CM I left my reservation number at work (he was fine with that). So he just booked my ADRs with my phone number and name. Now, keep your fingers crossed for me and the rumors are right and free dining starts August 24th!

I did the same thing. No, you do not need to call back. The only time this would make a differencee is if you previously booked CRT or Hoop de Doo, because they require a credit card if not on DDP

OK, on this same note....one of the dining CM's told me that when we check into the hotel, they would print out our whole "itinarary of ADR's". Do they do that by phone number too?? How else would they know?
