Online ADR's info wanted..

[Caretames1]

Okay, deep breath...I'm going to attempt to make online ressies for our Jan 21st-30th. My questions are ...is it easy? What time does the online window open? (I'm central time zone) Do I have to make an account first?
I've checked it out some, but would like anyone that has done this, to please commet or offer words of encouragement......or caution!?!
Thanks all
Carey

It is very easy (normally). The system rolls over at 6AM Eastern, so 5AM for your time, yup, it's early. Yes, you'll need an account over at the WDW site.

Make sure to check out the "190 Day Glitch" thread in these forums, paying extra attention to my summary posts within the last 5 or so pages (this one and this one most especially). This may allow you to book a bit earlier than your normally would.

If you need a step by step on the whole process, check out the Cafeen's Online ADR Tutorial (also linked in my signature). I would also recommend practicing a day or two before, just to get the hang of the system. Will make it easier come 5AM.
