Please define "90 + 10"

[Ziggie]

I've gotten a few different definitions of the term "90 + 10" in terms of ADRs.

Just wondering what the actual definition is?

Thanks!

You call 90 days before you trip and can make up to 10 days of reservations, if staying onsite.

 

[Ziggie]

Thanks!

Here's a question... if you're staying longer, why won't Disney let you make ADRs for days/nights past the first 10?

 

[momandseandodisney]

hmm I am wondering the same thing . . . ?

 

[summermac]

I guess just so it's "fair"
I honestly have no idea on that. We'll probably never stay more than 10 days so I guess I don't care. LOL!

 

[Ziggie]

I'm not sure I understand your comment about it being 'fair'?

I mean, if a family has paid for an expensive vacation (and let's agree, 10+ days at WDW is going to be expensive), why wouldn't they be allowed to book dinner/lunch ressies for their entire stay?

 

[momandseandodisney]

You would assume if you are satying 10+ nights, you would be able to book your ADR's all at one time for your WHOLE trip, but you can't? I am so confused lol

That's what I think summermac said(?)

I don't get it either ~ if you're spending that kind of money, why wouldn't you be able to make ressies for your entire 10+ day stay?

I am very thankful for this thread. I thought that the 90 + 10 was you can book 100 days before your arrival. Good thing I did not get all ready at 7am to call and find out that I need to wait 10 more day!

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

 

[Ziggie]

Anyone have a clue about this?

 

[mkel34]

I thought you could not book longer than 10 days. After your initial 10 days you need to make a "second" reservation.

I thought the same thing

 

[Ziggie]

I must be missing the obvious (wouldn't be the first time).. but...

.. what is the reasoning behind not letting a family book ressies for their ENTIRE vacation if it happens to be more than 10 days?

Honestly, I would really like to know.

90 +10 is a HUGE concession to guests. It used to be that you could only book 90 days (or whatever was the window for the particular reservation) prior to the actual day that you needed the reservation. I'm thankful for 90 +10 and think it is absolutely ridiculous to complain about the policy not being more generous. It's bad enough that people get an advantage for simply arriving earlier than someone else (no real rhyme or reason why someone arriving on December 22 should get a NYE reservation before someone arriving on December 26 [for example] or someone arriving on NYE).

First and foremost.. I am not complaining (and you should not infer that from any of my posts). So I'm going to overlook the negativity in your post.

Secondly, I have a very valid question as to why ADRs can not be made for an entire vacation if it happens to be more than 10 days.

Yes your question is very valid. The 10 days is rather arbitrary. I guess Disney just isn't thinking of people staying more than 10 days. Similar to the fact that they only offer a 10 day ticket as a maximum. Most of us stay less than 10 days so we are just jealous of people booking more.

If you are booked for 15 days I would assume you can book 10 days worth on your first day and then book the remaining 5 days on your 6th day.

Thanks B Ride for your insight! We've stayed at Disney longer than 10 days (one trip was at the Boardwalk from 12/15 until after the marathon race in mid January), but we don't do ADRs usually. So, for me, I'm not familiar with why the policy was created.

Again, I appreciate your reply

I'm not jealous of people who are booking more than 10 days. I'm just saying, quite validly, that there is actually no justification even for a window as long as 10 days. Furthermore, and this has not been answered by our self-proclaimed non-complaining OP, there is no justification for giving people priority for ADR's simply because they check in on an earlier date than other parties.

It is actually different now with the new system.

Let's assume that you're taking a 14 night/15 day trip July 14 - July 28.

The advantage for those staying onsite is the 10 days worth of reservations. So you call 90 days before you check in and make up to 10 days worth of reservations.

So you can call on April 15, 2009, and make reservations for July 14, July 15, July 16, July 17, July 18, July 19, July 20, July 21, July 22, and July 23.

You can no longer call on April 16 to make the rest of your reservations. You need to wait until 90 days before July 24 (April 25) and you'll be able to make a reservation for that day only.

As far as why, who really knows why Disney does what they do? They used to have more flexibility in the system, but the new reservation system is much tighter with this.

It's still fair for those staying more than 10 days because Disney doesn't release all of their tables for any restaurant until exactly 90 days out (so when you call on April 25 for July 24, there will be new tables in the system that day that were not there the day before) Yeah it's a pain having to call again for the rest of your reservations, but it is what it is.
