Making ADRs when staying offsite

[Princess and Queen]

Hello! I am staying offsite at the end of March. How early can I make my ADRs? Do I have to purchase my park tickets first?

What is the best way to make reservations? Call? Website? Or use My Disney Experience?

I just do it online. Calling as soon as the phone lines open may be better if you want any hard-to-get ADRs.

I like on-line, too-- it seems to remove some potential for error. (Read on here, for example, that one CM booked someone an AM reservation instead of a PM reservation.) Either way would be fine, I'm sure, but I prefer online--you can refresh searches faster and navigate more quickly if you have a good internet connection and are familiar with the site.
