Need an online ADR quick primer :)

[ekatiel]

So, our last visit was in December 2010, before online ADRS. I'm a little freaked out about my 180 day tomorrow! What time is the earliest I can get up and book (we live in Texas, in the central time zone)? Also, our current ressie is for 7 nights, but we plan on adding a room only ressie for 4 more nights (DH has a conference that we're tagging a trip onto). Will I be able to make 180+10 ADRS even though my ressie is only 7 nights right now? Any other info I should know??! --Katie

The website rolls over at 6am EST, so 5am our time (I'm also in CST ). Phone lines open up at 7am EST/6am CST.

For 180+10, you'll just have to associate your RESORT reservation with your session. This is a complex way of saying that there will be a link that comes up if you attempt to book an ADR that is more than 180 days out . This link, you'll enter some of the reservation info in, and poof, it'll be associated.

You should be able to make reservations for all 10 days, however, do note that the +10 is INCLUSIVE. This means that if you are arriving on the 1st, you'll be able to make reservations from 12/1 to 12/10, NOT 12/1 to 12/11 (it's a very common misconception). To make ADRs after the +10, I believe you'll have to wait until 180 days before that date (I could be wrong on that part though!)

Glad I'm not the only one that does this! I even have a small thing of post it sticky notes that I'm putting around my computer just in case I mess something up in my cutting and pasting.

Got it almost all done yesterday and finished up today. Still waiting on Candle Light Processional Packages, though. --Katie

Well this sucks. I can't get my reservation to link. I can look at my reservation but it won't link for the +10 I guess I will just call in a half hour.
