So confused about Dining

[Savin4Disney]

I called and they say I can't book anything till Tomorrow. I am already at 89 or 88 days out.

What gives?

Here's a link to the DIS PS (ADR) calculator:

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

Enter your dates to verify the date you can call for ADR's. If you verify that you are within the timeframe to call, I would suggest calling back to talk to a different CM.

90 days from today is Saturday, November 19.

You should be able to book 90 days out from check-in. The PS calculator link in the above post is a great help!!

I would call again.

Thanks! I check in Nov. 19!... Calling now!

Are you staying onsite in a Disney Resort? If so, you should be able to make ADR's starting today (assuming you are indeed 90 days out from your date of check in for a Disney owned resort). When you call again, be certain to inform them that you are staying onsite, that Nov. 19th is your check in date, and then provide your confirmation number to the CM. Once your confirmation number is entered, the system should accept your ADRs.

But, if you are an off site guest and attempting to make an ADR for any date but November 19th, you will have to wait until 90 days out from that specific date. My understanding is that the new 90+10 program is a perk for onsite guests only--guests staying off site still can not make their ADRs prior to 90 days out for each specific date requested.

Yes staying onsite and arriving on Nov.19. I can't believe it is almost here. Funny when I started counting at 463 and now here I am under 100 days. I have not been there yet and already wanting to go back in 2006 and do a cruise in 2007.

Correct me if I'm wrong... but it's 90 days prior to the day you are making the reservation....NOT just 90 days from your check in day?

For example... If I check in on Saturday but want to make ressies for the Wednesday of the following week... I have to wait until I'm 90 days from Wednesday... not just Saturday... am I wrong?

 

[Kimmielee]

Or does that ONLY apply to Cinderella ressies? I've always stayed on site... so it's not that I was "off site"...

That is incorrect. This recently changed. If you stay onsite, you can make ADR's 90 days out from your check-in day and for up to 10 days of your reservation.

I got reservations for CRT 90 days before my check-in date. Hope that helps!

Thanks for setting me straight! I'm excited to know it can be done all at once!

90 days from today is Saturday, November 19.

I'm checking into the POLY Nov. 19 so called this morning and was told by the CM that I could have called two days ago, they were taking calls today for people checking in on the 21st! I had been waiting and waiting to make that call, got up early on a Sunday morning, and didn't like hearing that I could ahve called earlier!

I booked through AAA so wasn't sure from my receipt which was my confirmation number so I just used my phone number. I don't know if that number is linked to my reservation or not, but she booked all my reservations through the 23rd of November and never got my reservation number.

I got the times and locations I wanted for everything but the 19th when I needed a table for 9 for Ohana's. I wanted around 7:00 and got 7:45.

I wish the CM's were all trained the same!
