Making ADRs as an Off-Site Guest?

[Al and Kate's Mom]

We are staying offsite this time. I know if you stay onsite, you can make ADRs for the entire length of your stay 90 days out from your arrival (or at least used to - let me know if I'm wrong about that). If we're staying off-site, can we still do that, or do I have to call everyday at the 90/180 day mark for individual days?

TIA!!!!

I actually had this problem this year. We are staying off-site for the first time in forever, and so I called about making my ADRs at the 90 day mark and they told me that I would have to call at the 90 day mark for each ADR I would be making. I had 1 or 2 for each day we would be down there. It was a real pain.

Actually, there is no need to call at all anymore. You can now make your ADRs online. It's so easy. As for your situation, you can always wait until 90 days out from your last day and make all your ADRs at that time. If, however, you'll be trying for some of the tough-to-get ADRs (Le Cellier, 'Ohana, etc.) I'd call/go online 90 days out from the day you want that meal.

Yep, every day at 90!

We are staying offsite and I'm an early riser, so each day for a week, I got up and got online at 5am (6am EST) and made my ADR's for the day. I got EVERYTHING we wanted for the end of October:
Rainforest Cafe dinner
CP breakfast
Chef Mickey dinner
Tusker lunch
Biergarten lunch
Sci-fi lunch
Ohana dinner (on a saturday night, no less!)
Boma breakfast

I loved using the online system, although I did call a week or so later just to doublecheck that my ADRs were in the system (I got email confirmations as well). Good luck!!
