Questions about ADR’s

[PrincessJasmine88]

Hi, my 60 day window starts Wednesday and I was hoping you could help me with a few questions.
What is the earliest I can login to make reservations, I read a few posts that said 6 am est?

Do I have any chance at all of getting Space 220, Cinderella, Ohana, Sci if diner? We are staying a week so at least I have 60 plus 7.

Some have reported between 530 and 6am est. It's not always the same.

For the most popular restaurants, the best strategy is to try to get them later in your stay. Remember, your first days are someone else's last days, so they were able to book before you.

Good luck! I hope you're able to get all the ADRs you're looking for!

For all of the restaurants you listed, I've read that they are very hard to get, even at 60+10 days. However, it seems people have been having luck checking every day, especially as the trip gets closer. Don't give up hope!

It's 6am edt. 6am est is 7am edt, which would be (at least) an hour too late.

While you are correct, most people use est for US east coast time regardless of whether we're using standard or daylight time. As long as you know when 6am Orlando time is, you'll be fine.

You are certainly right that many people use est (eastern standard time) incorrectly!

Good advice. We have a 10 night stay and it was wayyyyyy easier to get reservations on our day 8, 9, and 10.

Thanks, I will let you know how it goes!

Good luck. The later in your trip that you put the popular restaurants, the higher the chances of getting an ADR.
For us, I was online at 5:30 and some of the ADRs were already gone. Still looking for a Space ADR (not likely).
Good luck.

We are West Coast and we were up at 2:30am just in case. Didn’t open till 3 AM. We were 60+8 and we were able to snag Space on our 7th day, Cinderella on our 5th day, Ogas on our 7th day; there was nothing for our first four days at any of the popular restaurants. On our arrival night, 12/1, we wanted Whispering Canyon and the only available dinner was 8:20. No Hollywood and Vine for the 2nd. Couldn’t get anything at Yak and Yet after 4 PM on the 4th. We started with Space, then did Ogas and Cinderella. At first I couldn’t get Cinderella, but I tried an hour later and it was available.

Try for Space 220 toward the end of your trip. I did my reservation the beginning of this month. I did not get Space 220, but trying towards the end would be your best chance. I managed to get Sci Fi my 4th day. I didn’t really check for the others except Ohana dinner and I had forgot about it until later in the day. There were some breakfast opening, but nothing was available for dinner and there still is nothing available.

Don't forget to also keep an eye out for reservations while you are on the trip. Remember that reservations need to be canceled 24 hours in advance or the credit card is charged a fee. On multiple occasions I have been able to snag a reservation at this time period because someone has canceled. Also, for Space 220, if you don't have any luck with a reservation you can always go over to the restaurant in the morning and sign up to go on the wait list for the lounge. Hopefully at some point during the day you can at least check it out and have a drink. Good Luck!

With the exception of SciFi, we got all the other reservations you listed. Had an easier time with CRT and 'Ohana, Space 220 we took what we could get when we could get it. I wanted CRT my last day and Ohana my first, but got them opposites and just took it.

A very aggravating morning. Logged in at 5:45 eastern. At 6:00 it let us start making reservations, hubby and I on different computers. Checking dates 60 plus 7. No CRat, Space 220 or Ohana. Tried a few others and they had times open but when I clicked it would not let me book, ARGH. Hubby has been on hold for an hour and a half so far.

Silly question. Do you have to have your park reservations and tickets already linked to MDE to make ADR's 60 days out?

No. But you do need a resort stay booked to take advantage of the 60+10. Otherwise it’s one day at a time, 60 days out.

Anyone getting errors booking dining reservations? I can't book anything through 3 different browsers and MDE. Getting errors on everything.

Edit: It's working if I go to the individual restaurant's page and do it that way.

Can you please tell that to the website

Thank you! I have my resort stay booked, just wasn't sure about the park ticket piece.

I’m so sorry you had a frustrating adr day. Did anything get worked out? I know sometimes if you switch to incognito mode, the page will sometimes work better.
