question about 180+10 adr

[Al and Kate's Mom]

They don't automatically get cancelled then? I would need to call and cancel, right?

What if you change from an onsite reservation to an offsite one - will your dining reseravations get canceled or do you have to do it manually then also?

THANKS!

I don't know either....I'm not clear on whether or not dining reservations are linked to resort reservations or not.

Once they are booked, your dining reservations stand alone. If you cancel your resort reservation, move your dates around, move to a different resort, move offsite, it doesn't matter, your ADRs stay in the system until you call/or go online and cancel them. For example I have an eleven day trip planned for May 10th-20th. I was originally staying onsite, so was able to book ADRs for the first ten days of my trip 180 days out prior to my check in date. At that time the online system was only letting people book the 180th day out (in other words my check in day). I had to wait an hour until the phone lines opened and was then able to book ADRs for days 2-10 (including being offered several dates and times for Be Our Guest). The next day I was able to call back and get an ADR for the 11th day. We later decided to stay offsite at Wyndham Bonnet Creek instead, so canceled our onsite resort reservation. This was around Christmas. Even though we canceled the resort reservation, all of our ADRs stayed in the system. In fact, I just went online earlier this week and canceled some of them.

For that matter the same thing happened for our Oct/Nov trip. We already had a reservation at CBR and had made all of our ADRs 180 days out from our check in date. A couple of weeks before we left, a coworker offered us a fantastic deal on her time share, so we called, canceled the CBR ressie, and stayed offsite. We didn't have a single problem with our ADRs. They were all still there and we used them when we went.

It wouldn't be a very ethical thing to do, but in all actuality someone that was planning to stay offsite, but who wanted to make all their ADRs at 180 days out from their arrival date, could make a one night reservation at a Value resort, pay tbeir one night deposit, call at 180 days out, make all their ADRs, then cancel the onsite reservation, getting their one night deposit back. Their ADRs would still remain in place. It just so happened that I was actually planning on staying onsite for both our Oct/Nov and also our May trips, but circumstances happened after I'd booked our ADRs that caused us to change our mind and stay offsite. Disney was not going to punish us, by taking our ADRs away, just because our plans changed. I had always said I would never stay offsite, but when that coworker offered us a week in a one bedroom condo just one mile off Disney property for just $400.00 for the whole week, it was just too good a deal to pass up. We then found that we liked staying offsite so much, that we then came back and decided to do it again for our May trip.

Never quite figured this out.....is it 10 days total including your arrival day, or is it a your arrival day plus the next 10 days for a total off 11 days?
