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

[meryll83]

Are the dinner shows or fantasmic dessert parties bookable online yet?

Does the online ADR start at midnight on your 90 days or does the online open when the phone banks open in the morning? Also, does everyone else get up early to make them the minute they open? Thanks!

The online opens at 6:00 AM (EST) on your 90 day window. Make sure you don't enter you info until 6 AM hits, and it may be a good idea to clear your browsers cache and cookies right before.

You can bet that a lot of planners jump right on at 6AM, as that gives an hour jump over the phone lines that open at 7AM

Can this be done yet?
How does it work if you're on the dining plan?

Can fantasmic dinner packages be done online yet also?

I need a little clarification please. We check-in @ POP Fri Dec 4, but our first dining reservation isn't planned until Sat Dec 5. Can I make my ressies @ the 90 day mark from the day of check-in, or is it from the date of the first dining? TIA

I called yesterday to ask about the Candlelight Processional being booked online & was told not able to do that yet online.

Day of check in and you can go out +10 from your check in date.

You will need to call in for the fantasmic pkg. They are listed on the Disney Resturants page ( at the top of the page you will click Choose Another Dining Type and choose Special Dining Event ,but when you click fantasmic as an option it still tells you to call.

You can also ues the option above to book online the dinner shows, just choose dinner shows after you click Choose Another Dining Type.


Hope this helps and I did not confuse you anymore!!

If you are on the dining plan then the reservation will be associated with you resort ressie and that will show you are on the dining plan and you will just need a credit card to hold the ADR. The same goes if and when they become available online.

OK- I have a question-- which I'm sure that it was answered in the 126 pages of this, I tried to "book" today- my real date isn't till Aug 14-but I have read people talking about if you put in a time that it gives you times around that time if your "specific' time is not available-- can anyone help me out with this. I ask because I tried to "book" LeCellier for the last day that they are booking right now (oct 15) and it said it was all book & didn't give me any other times to choose from- it did give me other restaurants that have "that" time available...help!

The problem is the restaurant you picked is extremely popular and most likely does not have ANY availability. Select another restaurant (e.g., Tepan Edo) and see what happens.

If you are planning on booking an ADR for Le Cellier, you will have a much better chance of getting it by booking it later in your stay. It is a small restaurant and has less tables than other places and it is very popular.

The date you picked is still during a time when there are some Free Dinners.

#5 (can't believe I forgot this earlier) - I think I read that once you put an ADR in your cart, you've locked that ADR (unless your session times out), correct? So if it takes you 10 minutes to add all of your ADRs into your cart, but you put your #1 priority/most difficult one in your cart 1st thing - that first ADR was locked in at 6:00 EST and not at 6:10EST when you check out?

Thanks (again)

whatever you put in your cart is safe for 2 hrs as long as you're actively using the site or for 20mins if you're not. Here's a good example.....I found a Tusker House ADR today for Tues Oct 6th at 1:20.....I had read that if you have an ADR there betw 1:00 and 1:40pm then you get passes to the Nemo show and can go in through a side door(not waiting in the big long line). But I was unsure if I really wanted it or not. So.....I put it in my cart but didn't check out. I opened up another tab on my screen and researched the Nemo show and TH ADR's to figure out if I really wanted it. After about 15mins I went back to my TH ADR tab and clicked around a little bit so it remained active then went back to reseaching. After about a total of 30mins I finally checked out. It was 'safe' that whole time. Don't worry about it disappearing, it's yours if it's in your cart while you continue shopping.

It will not give me +10, my 90 day mark is today.

It gives me Oct 16, but nothing past that. Am I here too early?

 

[lyn9856]

Help!
I made a dummy booking, to test the system.
I have the confirmation number, and I know that my telephone number is correct, have checked by trying to do another one, (as far as the screen that brings my telephone number upbut cancelling of course before checkout)
But it wont retreive it!
Is it something to do with the format I am entering my pohone number? have tried with no spaces, with spaces, with dashes..etc.
I dont want to leave it because I know its unfair for others, so will have to ring later today if no luck
Could it be because I am from UK?
Any ideas?

The system didn't work for me this morning, no 90+10. It showed my lnked ressie w/correct dates but wouldn't let me book past check in day. I had to wait an hour and call in. Got most everything but had to switch some days around.

I cleared cookies
restarted browser
tried two other browsers

bah! that was super frustrating and having to switch days around is going to be a problem. I did bet LeCel twice at 5pm, but had trouble booking Tea...it is always something.

I had the same problem, my ressie was reconized but the calendar never opened up for me on my 90day mark. I called and made all my ADR's. The next morning my window opened up.

Sorry, I know how frustrating it was.

 

[Lizboo]

Is anyone able to see the +10 days who made their ADRs online yesterday or today??

 

[kristilew]

I had no problem with the 90+10 yesterday, at my 90 day mark, or again this morning.

I will keep my fingers crossed I have your luck next week.

 

[maiapapaya]

Me too! Next Sunday is the big day for us and I'm nervous about how it might go based on all the mixed reviews here.
At least we're getting out of the free dining window, so availability should be better.
