I know the online ressies are supposed to open at 6am but there have been reports of some people getting online as early as 3:00-3:30am EST. LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH THIS AS i MAKE MYRESSIES TOMORROW AM :cool1: or if these are just rumors!
 
I'm going to move this over to our restaurant board.
 
I made my adr's on Tuesday morning at 3 AM. Didn't work at 2:55 but open up my days right at 3:01 AM. Good Luck!!
 

Yes, you can make ADRs at 3 AM - if the system is working properly, which isn't always a given. I made all my ADRs at 3 AM.
 
Oh man, I don't think 3AM is realistic for me...4:30 is the earliest I can get up and still function at work all day...so this is what I will be doing. I will get up at 4:30AM and go right onto the computer. I normally get up at 5 (but I watch the news first and get out of bed at 5:30). I should be able to make all our ADRs within less than an hour, including turning on the computer and everything. So I should be done by 5:30, the normal time I get out of bed.

I don't think I will have a problem getting our ADRs. Our trip is in July 2010, so our ADR date is after the 180-day window returns, which makes me feel better. If I get up in time to make ADRs at 3AM, there's no way I will function at work at all, and my ADR window opens up on a Thursday, the day I teach all 5 of my classes for one hour each (high school foreign language teacher here). So I will have to risk it and have a backup plan just in case I miss something in those 90 minutes. The only thing we are not flexible with is CRT, but we are a party of 10 for that meal anyway (it's just 4 of us for all the rest of our ADRs), so I have to make the CRT ADR over the phone at 7AM anyway. This dinner is not flexible because my parents and sister are joining us for only the first 4 days of our 10-night trip, and we are all going to MK together and eating together there (we're also going to Epcot together but we're splitting up for dinner there). They all want to go to MK on an EMH morning, so that would leave only one day during the trip to go to CRT. But like I said I have to wait until 7AM to call for that one anyway since it is a large party so getting up 90 minutes later will not affect that one anyway.

The only other ADR that makes me nervous is Chef Mickey's breakfast but we will be there for 10 nights so we can be more flexible with that one. And, DH knows that if he decides that he wants me to try to get Le Cellier for dinner one night at Epcot, we may not get it and he is very supportive of NOT getting up at 3AM just to make dining reservations! Actually, he thinks I am already nuts for saying I will get up at 4:30!

Sorry to hijack this thread with all my nonsense! :rotfl:
