Quick Questions on Making Dining Reservations

[CJLove79]

This question is for anybody who knows the answer. I'm going to Disney World for 14 days from Nov 27th - Dec 11 and my Dining Reservation day is tomorrow morning. The first two nights is a Contemporary Room Only and the rest is on a Art of Animation Package. I kinda know the basics of the 180+10 rule but I want to ask this to fully understand. When and how can I make dining reservations for the remaining 4 days of my trip? Does this mean that I will have to wake up at 4am MST for four straight days this week to get he remaining four days? Do I wait till the 180th day for my second reservation, which is the AOA package? I appreciate anybody who answers this.

You won't be able to make a +10 tomorrow, due to having a split stay. You'll be able to (or rather, SHOULD be able to) make your first three day's reservations tomorrow, based on your first 2 night stay at the Contemporary. Then, when you're at your 180 days from your AoA package, you'll be able to do a +9 (9, because you should have already made the first day on your Contemporary stay), then the next day you'll be able to make one for your next-to-last day, then one day later, you should be able to make your last day's ADR.

This is how it SHOULD work, but seems like a lot of folks are having problems with their +X in the last few days.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Hopefully, it goes smoothly for me tomorrow morning, fingers crossed. LOL. I just checked the Disney World site and it has Nov 27th - 30th highlighted but faded. And of course I can't move the calendar to December. Does that mean I might be able to making Dining Reservations for a few days on my AOA package?
