Slight Confusion: CM booking window ?

[Mickey's Best Girl]

Hey gang,

I seem to be slightly confused regarding Chef Mickey's booking window. I remember for the first part of 09 it was still at 180 days. Is it down to the normal 90 now or is it still at 180 days out? Too many changes, the old noodle can't keep up!

you could book CM at 180 days out was June 19th. Any day after that is 90 days with the 90+10 rule in effect.

 

[MelanieC]

Yep - 90 days. When it was 180 it was still 180 +10 back then too.

Is this the same with CRT?

So this would mean that this all began in Decemer or were people still able to make 180 ADR's after that time?

Wondering about this as my friend said she booked CRT for her late August trip...Her 90 day window is not open yet? How could that be?

It wasn't really and truly 180 days since December 2008.

During the conversion to the new dining system, Chef Mickey's, CRT and Victoria & Albert's were available through a fixed date of June 19, 2009.

I am not going to mess with a calculator for an EXACT number on 180 days, but assume approximately 180 days for the sake of example. If 180 Days from June 19 was December 18, then on December 18 you could book a straight 180 days through June 19. The +10 did not apply, the June 19 was permanent and fixed.
On December 19, you could book these three 179 days out through June 19.
On December 20, you could book these three 178 days out through June 19.

This continued on counting down until we were 90 days from June 19 (Approximately March 21, 2009)

Now these three are exactly the same as all of the other restaurants.

Everything is 90 days.

So my friend could not have ressies? She told me she was dining at CRT for her trip?

I'll have to give her a call...She may have been planning to get the ressie but not made it yet....and we all know how difficult this has become lately!

Is CRT hard to get?

When is her trip? Today is 90 days from august 23rd.

CRT is hard to get, especially breakfast.

Love your family photo Alesia! Was that a scheduled Disney photo shoot? I always forget to plan to do that!

My friend is arriving on the 25th of August....The same day we are and I just made our ressies today....

I thought that CRT may not have been included in the 90 + 10 ADR rule.

Just sent my friend an email....I hope her little Princess will not be disappointed.

No, we just happened to be at the Grand Floridian for the Wonderland Tea Party and there was a photographer outside of the main building.
