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

[aviva5675]

Ok Ive been playing with it to get the hang of it and its getting easier. I booked with AAA TA yesterday for November, so am hoping by my 90 days they will fix the bug with TA ressie number.

I did start to load up favorites--and I checked a few restaurants to add as favorites, I am logged in, but when I go to my favorites page, none are there... Whats up??


One other thing I found. I always work ( on my Mac) in Firefox, and the Disney site is SO SLOW. When I tried it in Safari-it went alot faster. Not sure how it is in Explorer.

Okay, seems to be a little confusion on here!

Can someone tell me if I have this correct:

1) At 6:01 AM - Go to ADR Website
2) Enter Phone Number and Reservation Number
3) Once P# and R# has been entered (I booked online) I should have the option of setting ADR's for 90 days + 10
4) Click on "Make Reservation Button" for each restaurant
5) Enter all info and submit.
6) If unavailable I will get additional options
7) Set and wait for e-mail notifications

Does this sound about right or am I missing anything?

Is there a faster way to do anything then what I mentioned above?

If you log in with your reservation number prior to 6:01am will the system automatically allow you to enter 90+10 dates after 6:01am? Or do you need to wait to log-in until 6:01am?

You can view your RESORT reservation online even if you used a TA. I can see mine and I used a TA but you cannot pull it up on disneyworld.com you have to go to www.mydisneyreservation.com/guest.

The disney reservation numbers with packages are 8 digits and start with either a 1, 3 or 8

Cool, this worked for me too.

This one also does not pull your celebration information back up after you submitted it though. And the link here even says "Add/View Celebration(s)".

Mine does the same. I log in, click to save my faves and then when I go up to view them they aren't there. Another wonderful glitch in the Disney website. Where do they get their IT people?

I wanted to get in and play around some today, but my 90 day window doesn't start for a few weeks. I did, however, put in my reservation number and phone number, and it wasn't able to retrieve it. I booked directly with Disney over the phone (bounceback while I was down there last time). Any ideas? Will it not pull up the reservation unless I'm at 90 days?

I booked my resort ressie over the phone also and my ressie was linked to my home number, well when I tried the "retrieve reservation" using my conf. number and home number it would not come up, so for the heck of it, I tried puting in my cell and conf. number and my reservation came up, so you might want to try that !

It worked for me. If you clicked on the heart and it switched from blue to white, it should've worked.

Lots of people have reported having trouble with this.

So what's the latest everyone can report on accessing the new day's ADR's online????

I know it's supposed to be 6 Eastern. But does it every vary a bit???? I'm trying to decide HOW early to set my alarm clock on Sunday.......

same here... i need to know if i should get up at 4:45 am

 

[Sammie]

The system if you are within your 90 day window is 24/7/

If you are booking at 90 days plus 10 then it begins at 6am Eastern.

I have been fiddling on the online ADR system all day long. I have had my very adequate ADRs for a couple of weeks now, but I am one to mess around and try to get it perfect. I have changed dinners to breakfasts, and one dinner to another place. What is wrong with me, why can't I leave well enough alone? I know I wouldn't have done all this inquiring if I had to call in, so I am thinking with my obsessive/complusive personality that the new online system isn't that great.

I have another 2+ months to go before we leave, I betcha a dollar I will be on the ADR system the day before we leave.

Anybody else?

[bubblycoconut]

Me too! I've been changing around a bunch of different things. I couldn't even tell you what our adrs originally looked like. lol I keep telling myself I just need to let them be. It's so addiciting.

 

[butiflfeet]

I'm glad I'm not alone It is VERY addicting. I've changed most of our ADRs around and have been annoying my family to no end with changing things around. I hope eventually I will be able to just let it be. I still have 2 months until our trip

 

[JohnNYC]

You're not alone, there should be a support group!

 

[Shir Kahn]

I love it! Just yesterday I snagged a suppertime reservation for Le Cellier for July 16th! I didn't have any luck on any of my phone calls.

 

[CinderellaDreamer]

I don't even have a trip planned in my future, and I am messing around with it! (not actually reserving anything, mind you; not even putting it in my cart.)

Its very fun. And very addictive!!

 

[tami82]

Oh my gosh, i thought I was the only one doing this, that is too funny! I have got all the reservations that i wanted weeks ago on my 90 day mark but yet i find myself waking up in the middle of the night thinking of how many hours i have to get up and go on the computer so i can see if there is anything else i can tweek. And this goes on all day long with me! Everytime i go on the computer i check out the 6 restaurants i have for better times, different days, etc..... The funny thing is it was all fine before the online dining option came along. I am constantly thinking what can i change now. I am absolutely driving myself crazy and giving myself such a headaches to top it off. I did manage to get Sci-Fi yesterday which was good. The bad thing is that i can see myself doing this for the next 8 weeks until i leave.

 

[Happy99]

Mine starts with a 7 also. It looks like we will be able to use this at the 10 day mark for check-in. Which is good!
Thanks happy99!!!!!

Now to hope they let others in for the online adr.

My pleasure - My TA is great and she gives me all this information without me even asking. The resort reservations starting with 7's must be the ones booked through AAA.

Yes you can definitely use that for your online check in. A co-worker used it not long ago.

Yes, it is a LOT slower on our mac w/ firefox than it is on my pc w/ firefox or IE 7.

Note - I haven't been able to get the # of kids to work with Google Chrome.
