making reservations 180 days ahead? (vent)

[scottamy09]

How am I supposed to make dining reservations 180 days ahead when Disney doesn't put out their park calendars until 90 days ahead? I don't know where we're going to be yet! And I'm afraid of not having a place to eat if I wait for the calendar to come out so I can plan!
What to do...??

The ADR time frame is now 90 days for everything. It is not 180 days. You still may have some issues with 90 days but you have a better idea!

Guess your vent wasn't really needed, after all!

Personally I would prefer if they went back to the older policy of 60 days with a Disney Reservation and 30 days without one.

- the old 60 day was best. ITA

not sure but I think the breakfast with Cindy is still 180 days so if you want that be sure to get it at the 180 day mark

 

[ntsammy5]

CRT is 90 days too IIRC

No, it's 90 days. EVERYTHING is 90 days except for Grand Gatherings activities and Cirque.

CRT (along with Chef Mickey's and V&A) was held back from the 90 day rule for awhile, but as of March all ADRS are 90 days.

So how do you plan yours? I am going with a group and plan on having a meeting to discuss our plans and where everyon definitely wants to eat. The Dinner is supposed to be our get together event for the day. (I am sure the teens will go there way, adults with kids another and young adults another). Do you see a pattern with the schedule from the previous months and base it off of that or what do you do? What if you find that the is an early entry or late hours for one park and change your day? How does everyone else plan?

I wanted to get more input on this topic.

Is your trip at the beginning of the month? If not, you get the park hours on the 1st or close to and then you make your dining plans. Easy peasy. If your trip starts and the beginning of the month, it is a bit more difficult. I'd just go by the previous months hours and hope for the best.

I can't do ressie until June 18th? I think. So are the park hours posted by June 1st?

Recently they've been posted a few days after the first of the month.

 

[ExtinctDino]

August hours weren't posted until May 5. You should start checking June 1 for September, but it could be a few days later.

I dont plan my meals around the hours since i have a park hopper.

 

[mi*vida*loca]

I don't plan around park hours either because I have park hoppers. But I do try to plan around EMH. We avoid AM EMH. We are going 2/27-3/6 and can't book until 11/29 so I'm guessing March won't be out. I am going to hope it works and follow the the AM EMH from the last week of February and say that's it for the first week of March. I'm hoping my guestimations works.

 

[Candy30]

That's a bit of relief! Thanks so much. I do have hopper passes but I want to take advantage of the Early entry days.

Sorry - meant to make a new thread.
