Online ADRs Thread (Updated FAQ 9/9/9)

It sure beats making a long distance phone call only to be put on hold for several minutes at a time. I love it! Good job Disney!

I just got LeCellier for lunch 12:30 on the last day of our dining plan!

 

[Sheribo]

Wow! I'm so happy that it's getting positive revues and can't wait to try it. We don't go till November so it's still too early.

There's a sticky with all of the information and user reviews at the very top of the restaurant board. Go check it out

I played around with it- I can't actually make my ADRs for a few more days, but it helped to familiarize myself with the new system. Hope it helps me get a Le Cellier resi....... : )

I answered this (for someone else I think) back on post #526

http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=32316274&postcount=526

and it's really very easy. Once you get on the WDW site, click on the Dining link at the bottom left of the page. It'll bring you to the Restaurants page. Click on of the restaurants on the right hand side or click on "All Restaurants" and you get a screen which has a menu on the left side where you click on the park, location, of the restaurant. (Or you can scroll through the list) Then the restaurants for that location appear. The ones you can book will say "Book a reservation". Once you get to that page you'll see some writing where it mentions if you have a resort reservation you can retrieve it. Click on that link and enter your ressie and phone #. The calendar will now allow you to book 10 days past the 90 day llimit.

It works, I made about 14 ADRS today.

Followed the instructions to a T and it doesn't work for me. We arrive on Sept. 24 and today is day 99. Any ideas?

You can't make your ADR's until Friday June 26. if your not arriving until Sept. 24. You have to wait til 90 days before your date of arrival.

Forgot to mention that I'm staying at POFQ...shouldn't I get the 90+10 option?

You should. But the 90 starts from your first day and extends 10 past THAT date, not 10 prior to your arrival.

Anybody know about SoG being able to do this. I'm guessing.....no.

 

[beachclubgirly]

Love it! Used it yesterday!

No. It's not 100+10, it's 90+10. 90 days out from the date of your arrival, you will be able to make reservations on your first day plus the next 10.

Does anyone know if Disney is working on fixing the system for anyone who booked thru a TA?? (as in has anyone called and talked to anyone there) my dates are along way off so I am hoping they are fixing this problem I would like to make all my reservations at the same time

 

[CookieDiva]

I was just playing around for our couple of days in WDW next month and can you believe that it actually offered me LeCellier at 1pm for a party of 5 when I was booking Prime Time Cafe?

I will say that I found the system very easy to use and hope that it continues to work well -at home AND at WDW.

After a couple of years on the board, I just figured this out a few days ago. I had misunderstood it all along as well. Unfortunately, I got up pre-6am the other day for reservations only to find out that it was 10 days to soon to make my ressies.

I was wondering the same thing....my ADR date is Friday. Probably won't be fixed by then....just my luck!

 

[PrincessKara22]

Can you check ADRs that you made over the phone?

Yep! I did. Then emailed them all to me.

They're working on it, but I doubt you will see a fix in two days. It took Disney 9 months to get the online ADR system out to the public. I don't see them speeding up a new feature in 48 hours.

I booked our vacation last night and was able to get ressies at every location we wanted within 5-30 minutes from my requested time... Fabulous!!

 

[aristocat65]

I just tried it. So easy! I already had my adr's that I had booked over the phone but I wanted to change Yak and Yeti to an EMH night at AK once the hours came out, so I booked that. Now I'll have to cancel the other one. Also booked WCC. Got pretty close to the times I wanted for both.
