March 2 = 180 days for what date?

[123SA]

I called disney dining after 10pm EST tonight just to see what the recording sounds like. (I foolishly thought I could do all of ADR on-line, so some last minute preparation)

I think my 180 day window opens tomorrow. The ADR calculator gives me March 3 for arriving on Aug 30. (I am in the EST) However, when I called Disney tonight, the recording stated ADR accepted through Aug 28th.

Soooo...am I wrong with my date?

Our 180 window for arriving on September 12 opens on March 16. Based on that, I'm also coming up with March 3 for an August 30 arrival.

Good luck with your ADRs!

Well, I think their system is all messed up. I arrive 8/29 and my 180 days opened yesterday but their recording said that I must arrive by August 28th. Not only that but the system is giving me a lot of issues making reservations. I had to call my reservations in.

I had to call all my reservations in too (window opened today). I just kept getting a MASSIVE loop when I tried to make them myself online. I missed out on 2 dining times too, watching as they got earlier and earlier each time it didn't work. Also not letting me do 180+10 on a split stay like we were able to do last year. Have to wait for my second reservation date to open up.

I'm not even doing a split stay and cannot do 180+10.

Same thing happened to me last week when it was my 180-day mark (right on the day they started taking BOG lunch ADRs - what a mess). Try again in a few hours. After clicking on times and getting caught in that loop and then being returned to the main dining page, the times seemed to be disappearing when I tried again. What apparently was happening was those times were kind of trapped in limbo, and they were showing up again later in the day. I sent an email to Disney tech support the next day and they replied that the +10 feature wasn't working even if you had a resort reservation linked and you had to call for any day beyond 180.

However, a couple of people here seemed to get it to work going through different routes. See below.

I was able to book my +10 online. I couldn't go right to 'Things to Do' - 'Make Reservations'; that only showed exactly 180 when I did that. I clicked on 'My Disney Experience' header. I had to 'sign in', even though it already says 'Welcome, Elizabeth!' on the top of the page. It then goes to the 'My Plans' page. I clicked 'Edit Plans' on a day into my trip. I scrolled down and clicked on 'Reserve Dining'. It then went to the dining page with the date I selected defaulted in. After that, I was able to choose any date in the 180+10.

Be careful with the way you had mentioned! I originally did it and THOUGHT I was able to get them at the +10. However, when I did this it automatically changed the date back to the 180 day mark. I didn't notice until it told me I had conflicting reservations and I realized it changed my day for ALL of them and had to go back and cancel and then just call. Even over the phone though it won't do +10 for split stays.

March 3rd was the 180 day mark for my trip starting Aug 30. I was able to go on-line at 6am today and book all my meals through Sept 9. In a different thread, a poster explained that she had success booking 180 +10 on-line by using the My Disney Experience tab, rather than the make a reservation tab. I did exactly as that poster directed and it worked without a hitch.

Crazy how inconsistent it is. Nothing works for me and clearly shows 179 days until our check in. I can only make reservations one day at a time.
