has anyone eve managed to book prioriy seating from UK before setting off for Orlando - I understand that some of the more popular ones are booked up months in advance - we're going over Easter as well when I expect it will be really busy
A lot of us have booked ADR's 90 days before we are due to go to WDW from England. If you are staying on site you can phone 90 days from your arrival day and book 10 days worth of reservations. If you are staying off site or in a non Disney hotel you will have to phone each day 90 days before you want to eat there. I recommend you phone WDW-DINE at the 90 days mark to make sure you get the reservations you want.
Good luck.
Advanced dining reservations, what PS (priority seatings) are now known as. It is advised that you do phone at the 90 days mark to make any dining reservations especially at busy times if you have your heart set on eating at certain places.
I called from Scotland at the 90 day mark for the really sought after ones but waited until my 90 days were passed to book the rest of my ressies all together. I found this worked out best to save wasting loads of time on hold on my lunch break!
Lines open at 7am US EST (12pm UK time). At busy times you may be put on hold
When you get through, you will be prompted to enter your phone number: just enter you number without the first '0' on your std code, followed by the hash (#) key (they call this the 'pound' key in the US).
Then follow the menu options until you get through to a human
They will give you an ADR number; make sure you keep this safe.
I booked for CP, FDP and CM and in general it was pretty smooth. It also cost less than I thought it would!
Only FDP takes a credit card number, so book any places you're interested in and you can always release the slots if your plans change. Our CM was for brunch on Easter Sunday (our last day) and it was absolutely packed!
If you go to allears there's a planner so you put in where you want to go and the dates and you generate a call schedule so you know which dates to phone - I don't have the link to hand (its on my home PC but not my work one) but I bet someone out there does!
