Making online ADRs - please help out a n00b!

[ChrisM]

I'm staying on property and have a package booked for Dec 2nd to Dec 9th.

180 days out of the start of my trip is June 5th.

When I go to the online ADR site, I can search for restaurant availability but it limits me to only 180 days out.

If I login to my vacation on the WDW site it gives me a little prompt that I can make my ADRs on June 5th.

So what does this all mean and how do I do this? 6am ET rolls around on June 5th and I sit down at my computer to make ADRs - I want to make ADRs for my whole vacation, some of which will be more than 180 days out...do I log into my vacation on WDW and then I can go to a link from their to make ADRs?

Also, I've done some gameplanning for prior dates for Cinderella's Royal Table and can never find a reservation available for a party greater than 6. I really need a party of 8. Is that even an option or are you limited to parties of 6 at CRT?

Thanks y'all!

Basically, you've got it set already. You have a login to the WDW site, so that's step one.

On the ADR date, simply log into the site, then click the "Where to eat" button and you'll be taken to the reservations system. When you choose a date that's > 180 days out, you'll be prompted to confirm your Disney resort information. Once that it done, you'll be all set.

One thing to note, it may be a good idea to clear your browser's cache the night before (or the morning of) you do this. There's been quite a few people having trouble lately and that seems to be helping some (or just using a different browser, which is essentially the same thing). You can Google how to clear the cache of your specific browser of choice for instructions if you don't know how to.

Awesome - thanks so much for the reply!

I did all my reservations this morning for our Nov. 27th trip and things couldn't have gone smoother. Got everything but one for the times that we wanted. They even sent confirmation emails for each reservation.

Here's a thread about making a CRT reservation for a party of 8 that was posted this morning:
