Quick Question on the 60 ADR window

[Hitchhiking Ghost]

Does the 60 day window relate to the start of your reservation date or is it strictly tied to the date you are having your meal. I didn't phrase that well, but can I only make a reservation at the 60 day window for the one date I am dining, or if I have a 10 day package, once day 1 is within the 60 day window, can I book for the entire stay. I seem to recall in the previous system when it was 180 days out there was some kind of 180+10 that was in play. I'm just wondering if I'll have to make an ADR each day for 10 days straight as the window opens up. TIA.

Staying on property for 10 days, you can make ADRs for all ten days on the 60 day window. Hope I understood your question.

180 day was the old rule before they reduced it to 60.

I have a two week visit coming up later this year and had to wait until 60 days before arrival to book anything for 60+0 to 60+10 (which I did at 60/arrival). But I had to wait 2 more days to be able to book ADRs for my arrival plus 12. So if you are there longer than 10 days, it's incremental day-by-day booking beyond arrival + 10.

Hope I described that okay.

The 60+10 window for onsite stays starts 60 days before your check-in date, and you can reserve for up to ten days from your check-in date. For offsite stays, it is 60 days before the day you want to dine and you would have to call each day.

Hope that helps!

Thanks all, the 60+10 makes sense. Follow up question, I assume you can make the reservation for more guests than are linked to your trip/room. Our friends will arrive first, so would be the ones to start making the reservations. They are only two people, we'll be four. I'm assuming when they make and ADR, it should be no problem booking for 6 people (assuming availability), that your table size isn't limited to the number of guests linked to your MDE?

That's correct. You can book for as many as you can find availability for (sometimes you can't book for large groups online, but six isn't a large group). If you are linked as friends and family, the lead on the reservation can fill in the guests and it should appear on your MDE as well. If you're not linked, they can just select the lead and not list who the guests are.

Thanks, and for the tip on linking as friends and family!
