Question re: 180+10 rule?

[toocherie]

I just called to make ADRs for a trip commencing November 1-8 and the CM advised that I was two days early. Is the rule that if you are staying on-site (in my case a DVC resort) you still can't make ADRs more than 180 days out but then can make them for the next 10 days, or is the rule that you can make ADR's 190 days out if you are on-site? I'm totally confused!

Thanks!

the rule is you can make them 180 days from your FIRST day, and the make them for the next 10 days of your trip...

If you are staying at a WDW resort you can start making your ADRs 180 days from check in and on that 180 day mark you can make them for up to 10 days of your vacation.
Here is the link to the calculator.
Your 180 day mark is May 5th.
