Just curious how crucial it is to make your ADR's at 7am on your 90+10 day. Here's my dilemma. I do not have access to a phone at work (I drive a school bus) and will be on the road at 7am. I could be home by 9:30 that morning to make them. OR I could wait a day later and make them at 7am, since we have the day off from school. I'm not looking to make any ADR's for Le Cellier, but here is where I'm looking to get

Crystal Palace 8am
Chef Mickey's 7pm
Cape May Cafe 7:30pm
Sci Fi 3pm
Coral Reef 7pm
Whispering Canyon Cafe 7pm

What do you think my chance are to get roughly the times I want if I call later in the day or the next morning?
 
I would make them as soon as you get home in my opinion. It is important so you get what you want and the times you want.

You will be fine to call at 9:30am, in my opinion. The only one you may have trouble getting on your list is Chef Mickey's. Other than that, the others shouldn't be a problem with the 90 + 10. We had a similar dilemma when our 90-day date came around. I am a nighttime working musician and I didn't get home until around 4am. I had to get a few hours sleep, so I woke up at 9am and we got every single reservation we wanted, including Le Cellier at the time we wanted!

I would hate for you to NOT get something based on my advise, but I had great success in my case. Best of luck!
 
My sister, who books her WDW trips for her family, just told me that Chef Mickey's is an exception to the 90 day rule...in that you can still book for it within 180 days. Is this true or not?
 

Hey I drive a school bus too. I have the same dilema for when I need to call. My plan is to take my bus home with me that day because my house is closer to the school than the bus garage. I should be home by about 5 after 9 and will run into the house and call. Hope you get everything you want.
