Stupid ADR question....One More Question!!!

[SharpMomOfTwo]

I was just wondering.... 7/13 is exactly 180 days from our first day in Disney, so I'm planning on calling that morning to make our ADRs. But what about for the days later in the week that I want to make ADRs for - can I make my ADRs if they are really 181 or 184 days out? Or do I have to call every day? KWIM???


TIA
Sarah

If you are staying onsite, you can make ADRs for up to ten days once you reach your 180 day mark. The 180 days is from your first requested ADR, not your check-in date, I believe. There are some exceptions - Cindy's castle has to be done at the 180 mark, so you would have to call back at the 180 day mark for the date you wish to do CRT. I'm not sure if there are other restaurants that have to be exactly 180 days - maybe Victoria and Albert's?

If you are staying offsite, you have to call each day, or you can call when your last ADR date is 180 days out if you only want to call once.

If this has changed, someone else will post and let you know, but this is the way I think it still works.

ADR calculator

Above is a link to a calculator that lets you know when to make your ADRs. You just type in your trip and it does the work for you. I don't think CRT needs exactly 180 days either, I think you are allowed the +10 on it since I know of people who have done it during their +10 window.

You're probably right, especially since they have expanded the seatings for the character meal. I know at one point it had to be exactly 180 days (at 7 am to have a chance of an ADR), even after the 180 +10 was started, but it is easier to get CRT now that it is so expensive and it is two TS credits. We have not done CRT in several years and the rules may have changed. Thanks!

Ok, thats great then! 180 out is exactly the day that DH and I leave for our "alone" vacation... guess I'll be making them on the car ride down! Another stupid question... I live in NJ - do I call @ 7am or 9am???

Cinderella’s Royal Table: Breakfast: 8-11:15
Playhouse Disney Play ‘n’ Dine at Hollywood & Vine: Breakfast or Lunch: 8-11:20 breakfast, 11:40-2:25 lunch
Donalds Breakfastosaurus: Breakfast discontinued last year, but there is a Donald breakfast at Tusker House. I couldn't find the times, though I'm guessing it would start around 8 am.
Chef Mickey: Breakfast & Dinner breakfast 7-11:30, dinner 5-9:30
'Ohana Character Breakfast: 7-11 am
Liberty Tree Tavern: Dinner starts at 4 pm. End times depends on park closing time


Thanks all!!!

All info from allears.net, but they didn't have the Tusker House start time that I could find.
