Remind me when can I make my reservations?

[kg66]

It's been a while since we've been to Disney, so I'm rusty
For our March 25, 2012 trip, when can I make my reservations? I want to do them ASAP as it's during FD.
TIA

It's 180 days out from your first day of travel.

Here's a calculator you can use:

http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/pscalc/dispscalc.html

If you're staying on property you can make reservations 180 days from your arrival date + reservations for the first 10 days of your stay. (180 + 10)

If you're staying off site you'll have to do them 1 day at a time 180 days in advance.

I am also a little confused as to when I can make dining reservations. We are staying on property and scheduled to arrive on February 4th. According to my calculations I should be able to start making dining reservations on August 8th. When I pulled up the site today it stated that I was 189 out from the start of my vacation. I don't want to get up early on Monday morning to make my reservations only to be told it is not quite time. My check-in dates are correct on the site. Any advice?

GFFAN, When I put your date in the countdown date timer that I use online, it says today (8/6/11) is 181 days from your vacation. I would get up tomorrow and try it. I don't know why it says you are 189 days out. This countdown timer was correct for my 180 days. Did you perhaps put in the wrong date for the reservation?

FYI...here is the timer I use..

Good luck!

You have to relog in to get a correct date otherwise it doesn't change from your last log in. Meaning, the last time I logged in was Thursday, if I go to WDWs website it still has my countdown on the home page but hasnt updated since Thursday. I have to put my password in again for it to update my countdown.

There is an ADR calculator right HERE on the DIS. 180 days from 2/4/2012 is tomorrow, 8/8.

ACK! I'd forgotten about the extra ten days!!!

So I logged on, says I have 189 days before check-in, but it still won't confirm our arrival date and says I need to call. Are those extra 10 days call-in reservations only? Or should I be able to do it online?

Thank you!! I think I have it straight. It now reads 181 days so tomorrow morning I will be getting up bright and early!!

Brooklynnbaby, I was able to make my 10 day reservations online exactly 180 days from my first day.
