Questions about new online ADR system..

[BuzzLiteyear]

Ok, I'm about 5 months away from being able to reserve, but I'm already getting anxious. I noticed that on the online system it said that your reservations would be in your cart for 2 hours and cancelled after 20 minutes of inactivity. So as long as I am active and it only takes me 1/2 an hour, all my reservations should be there? I am just nervous that after making all of them, some of the first added might be gone.

That's the way I understand it. I will be up at 6 am tomorrow morning. Some others have said it took them 15 to 20 minutes to make 7-10 adrs. Hopefully it will be pretty smooth! Good luck!

PP is right, I made mine this morning and started right at 6am, got all 8 of my adrs and checked out in 17 mins.
I also had 4 tabs open saving me some time. (this is a wonderful tip)

I had already planned to check out the first batch if it was taking too long. But I was fine. Didn't want to hit the 20 min mark, whether or not inactivity or not. Couldn't take a chance on losing my most important ones.

So I would suggest that if you have a lot. (I had 8) Many more and I would do the first 5 or so and check out then go back in. Get the ones you really want first. But I think you should be ok.

(it was fun, stressful but fun)

Glad to hear you had an easy time with it . Were you logged in to your reservation when you did this and if so, how did that work with the 4 tabs? Every tip I can gather will be helpful. Thanks for sharing!

I am scared of the on-line system, but think it'd be a great way to try to get the one ADR that I was unable to get this morning. I booked thru AAA and don't have the disney reservation # they ask for in order to book an ADR on line-how do I get this number?

Great tip about multiple tabs. My time will be 4 am in October!

Is that 6AM EST? I'm wondering how the online system affects specifically what time you can make them. Can I wait up until midnight and then, at 12:01, start making my reservations?

You don't need it unless you're trying to book with the +10.

No, the system rolls over at 6am Eastern time (so if you start at 12:01 it will say you are still 1 day too early). Phone reservations start at 7 am Eastern time.

If you wanted to do the +10...maybe you could call AAA to get the number?
