Newbie here....at least in the area of ADR's!

Call dining about the CP packages today! They may have already been released. Last year they were released before the 90 window for ADR's. I'm not sure how it is working this year since it changed to 180 days. I tried to get Le Celliar at 90 days for regular dining OR the CP package exactly 90 days before my check-in last year (Dec 1) and could get NOTHING any night of our trip.

I've been checking and it doesn't appear that the CP packages are announced yet. I will definitely be booking that as quickly as possible as I'm sure they go quickly. But according to the Restaurants/Dining board posts, they might be be announced/available when I'm making my 180 day reservations.

We have quite a bit of flexibility with times when it comes to ADR's, so I'm hoping that the process goes smoothly!

CRSNDSNY...thanks for the phone number. I'm assuming that number has the same business hours as the WDW-DINE number?

Yes. It all funnels into the same place. It beats having to pay for the call with the WDW-DINE.

I've never tried to put my DVC reservation number in when asked for that or my home phone number. I've always just used my phone number so I wasn't sure if I could use the res number or not. But thank you all for clarifying that.

The CP packages should be available at your 180 day mark if they did not release them before. If your calling at 180 days and are flexable with the times, I'm sure you'll get everything you want. From both personal experience and reading the restautrant boards, it's usually the people who call like 60 days before, that are stunned that they are either shut out or have the choice of dining at 4:30 or 8:50!

Good luck getting all your ADR's!
