**New ADR System**

[dizprincess717]

"The Walt Disney World Resort will upgrade the reservation booking system for dining, recreation and tour reservations in late November 2008. Please note this date differs from the previously communicated date. In the future, Travel Agents and Guests will be able to make dining reservations online at - and disneyworld.com with this new reservation booking system. The launch date for this enhancement will be announced at a later date.


As a result of the system upgrade, now through late November 2008, Guests will be able to book dining reservations up to Feb. 22, 2009. Once the upgrade is completed in late November, booking processes will return to normal, allowing Guests to book up to 180 days of arrival.


The system upgrade will not impact Victoria and Albert’s Restaurant, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and Chef Mickey’s Restaurant. Those three venues will continue to observe the normal booking processes throughout the system cutover."

This are going to get just that much easier - for Guests who book themselves and travel agents! Thought this is pretty cool news...

I'm very excited for the website part, but I can definitely see some rude people double and triple booking ADR's.

You can do that with or without online booking. In fact, the online system will probably pick up on IP addresses. By phone, one could easily call and give different names for different party members.

Not just IP addresses, but I'm sure you'll be required to give a TON of personal info like name, address, phone number, BOOKING number... Just so that people can't double book restaurants so other Guests can't get ADRs. Which brings me to wonder this --- Will the website limit you to 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner ADR per day??? That means we've all got to come up with even more strict planning parameters for dining. No more booking 2 dinners at once and cancelling 1 a few days later... Hmmm...

I'm excited for it. It'll make my job that much easier.
