Thanksgiving travelers call for ADR's now

[minnierocks]

I agree call NOW!!! We are also going for Thanksgiving (16-24). I called yesterday to make our first ADR. The wonderful lady let me book the entire week. Yes all were before the 180 day mark. I got everything I wanted!! LTT for Thanksgiving day at a later time then I wanted, but I got in!!! I would keep calling until someone let me book them all!!!!!!

Please someone else correct me if I am wrong, but...
From what I understand...if you are staying at a Disney resort, you are allowed to reserve all at one time. You make your dining ADR's @ 180 days from check-in and then book for your entire stay (up to 10 days)...so while I am glad that your CM was so nice, she didn't allow you to do anything that she wasn't supposed to...

Yes she did if she let her start making reservations at 190 days instead of 180 days from her check in. It's suppose to be 180 days before check in, then +10, not the + 10 days before your check in date.

With check-in on the 16th...Sunday would've been the 180 day mark...
So the reservations were made at 180 days + 10

I don't think Disney policy has changed! You still have to make reservations 180 days out. I was able to make them before that time!!! I am letting people know that this was different from my past bookings. Basically it does not hurt to ASK!!!! It has worked for some & not others. Happy planning to everyone!!!

Ok, let me try to say this again which is what I was trying to say yesterday. She's not making her ADR's at 190 days. I am going exactly 1 week and 1 day after OP. My date to make my ADR's (according to the ADR calculator at Allears) is next Monday. So if she made her ADR's on Sunday, she didn't get away with anything. She was at her 180 day mark.

I used the priority seating planning report from this site. According to it I was able to make them earlier than I was supposed to. I does not matter!!! I got what I wanted. So I am very happy!!!!!!!

I called on 5/16 for my Thanksgiving ressies but I am also checking in on 11/12 so that was 180+10 days. We had no problems getting dinner at WCC for 29 people on Thanksgiving day but we are eating Noon.
