Reservation Time

[teacherme]

I know this might seem like a silly question but I am going to ask anyway. Dining Reservations open tomorrow at 6:00 EST. I am in Central time zone so I can get reservations at 5 am?

Yes

Some people have noticed it has opened up earlier at 5:30 am or
5:45 am EST on website or app so you might want to be prepared just in case. The phone is not until 7 am.

Yes, central is 1 hour earlier, however, WDW’s site says reservations open between 5:45 - 6:00 a.m., https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/dining-reservations/advance-reservation-restaurants/ so I’d be up & sipping coffee logged on by 4:30 a.m. your time. Also you might practice a bit tonight w/ some pretend reservations for 12/10 to get a feel for the system & the current glitches. When I made ADRs this morning (opened right at 6 a.m.) I noticed that the calendar on the first page only showed as open for 60 & never showed open for our +10, but if I just clicked on the specific restaurant I wanted’s reservation page & picked my date from the calendar there it allowed me to book in 60 +10.
BTW, you don’t have to fill in all the guests names, you can go back later after you have all of your ADRs & add those names. We also did not go in chronological order, we went for hard to get ADRs first & scheduled the hardest towards the end of our vacation, which worked well for us this morning.
Good luck!
