Need help with 180 + 10 ADR's please

[K9pal]

I am so frustrated! I've gone around and around, using Chrome and Firefox, and can't make ADR's beyond 180 days. I've got everything linked on MDE, it shows the date and lets me click on Dining Reservations for the day I want, but when I click on the restaurant the dates don't show beyond 180.

Am I doing something wrong? What's the secret? Thanks for any help!

I am assuming you are staying somewhere on the property, right? Is your check in date May 4 earlier? If so I'm not sure why it's not working. You may just need to call 407.WDW.DINE to make them. Sorry you are having trouble!

Yep, staying at BLT as a member beginning 5/4. Hate dealing with phone calls to MS, so I guess I'll do it day by day if I can't get anywhere with it. Thx!

I have read that you have to log out and then log back in to make it work. If you are just going to the website you have bookmarked alot of times it will say Welcome your name but you still have to log out and then back in for it to work. Hope this helps.

I usually call disney dining (407) 939-3463. I know for my check in for BLT on 4/23/14 I could not make dining reservations till 2 days later which was 4/25/14 (180 days). Have you called dining and asked when is the exact date you can make reservations with a check in for 5/4/14?

I couldn't get it to work either. I hate calling MS also, but that's what I ended up doing. Sorry for your frustration!

I arrive May 4th and didn't have any problem booking my ADRs for 10 days yesterday. I did notice that if you have a split stay it cuts you off on your check out day. I'm there April 30th for one night and could only book ADRs for the check in and check out day, then we are on the cruise. We return to BCV on May 4th for 14 nights and I didn't have a problem booking my 10 days of ADRs.

OP, did you have a split stay?

 

[K9pal]

Nope, the entire stay is BLT. The website shows all my days and will allow me to click on Dining for the other days, but then the date won't come up in the individual restaurants.

I have an add-on question to this. Our next trip will be our first DVC stay - always before we've bought the whole package (hotel, park tickets) at the same time. This time we've reserved our room but are planning to buy APs (haven't done so yet)... So can we do 180+10 before we buy our park passes?

Recently I booked a series of dining reservations for the winter holiday. Frustrated by the Web site, I called MS--but I stayed on the site and clicked along while the representative worked her magic. Meal after meal, she found opportunities for us at times that showed as completely booked on the Web site. I have no idea why or what that tells us about the software's database, but I'll continue to happily call MS for dining until I know that the site performs as well as a courteous human.

Yes, you don't have to buy passes or tickets to make ADR's. Sometimes (like this December) we stay on property and don't even go into the parks.

I just went through this same thing. I thought it wasn't working, but in fact it was and I was just trying to do it in the wrong place.

It won't work (for me at least) if I go to the actual restaurant and try to book. I have to go to the main reservation screen where you select your time at the top and price range and all that, and get multiple reservation options. Only then can I select a day that is outside the 180 days.

Then just find your desired restaurant and time on the list.

Hope this helps and good luck!

SugarLoaf, that's it!! THANK YOU!! When you get to the dining reservation page, DON'T click on the restaurant - narrow your options at the top and click the green "Find a Table" button. Worked like a charm and I got exactly what we wanted!

Yep, that how I've always done it. I guess that's why I didn't have any problem booking mine yesterday. Glad it worked out for you. It didn't even occur to me that we were both doing it differently.

My 180 days mark is November 18th. I'm a newbie I don't understand what the +10 means. And on the 18th can I make reservations for the whole week we are there or only the first day and then call again then next day and so on. Thanks.

You'll be able to make them for your whole trip. The " +10 " part means you can make them for the first day plus the following 10. Just be sure to follow the instructions we posted on this thread - I found it very confusing.

Thank you for this tip! My 180 mark is coming up in a couple of weeks and I knew there were issues booking ADRs with DVC reservations in the past!
