Anybody know when ADR's for Yachtsman's will be available ? -_-

 

[luvallprincesses]

Does someone have links to the "old site" and the "new site" so I am prepared on Monday at 6 am if one of them doesn't work for me?

I am not booking many TS meals. Mainly, hoping for BOG. But we are staying in the Epcot area (likely Dolphin) for the first time, so I feel like I should book a TS meal at Boardwalk, BC, or YC. We've only done ESPN and don't want to again. If you were booking just one TS at one of those resorts (not breakfast...we will probably do the weekend Garden Grove character buffet), where would it be?

It does know your dates. We are going for 6 days so at 180 out from our first day of vacation I had availability for every day of our stay, but no more. If your reservation isn't linked through the site I would guess there would be no +10

Hi - I did link our reservations but also went on and tried it without linking and it made no difference? Oh well - we make our ADR's in about 10 days so will know for sure by then. Have to work on the where's and when's at this point. Think I might have daughter call and I will try computer and hope for the best. Thanks for your help!

Here's a thread with links to the new and old sites. It also has steps on how to make them work to get your 180 +10 ADRs.

Woo Hoo!!! Just had to check in to say I am officially at the 6 month mark today!!!! So excited, it doesn't feel like it has been 5 months since I booked the trip. Fingers crossed that the rest of the year goes quickly

I don't think I've joined this thread yet so, HERE I AM!
Currently (and tentatively) January 23rd - 27th, Pop Century. It'll be my 13yo sister and myself. We are going to have so much fun!

I recently requested to join the FB group, hope to see you on there!

Is anyone going who has not yet booked their room?
I'm wondering if I should book next week and just adjust if/when the discounts come out for January (presumably in Oct.)

 

[ShanLubey]

It'll be me, DH, DS (second time and he's 2), Mom and Dad (their first time) January 19-26th, staying off site. DS will turn 3 January 28th, so his trip will replace his big birthday bash. It's our first time staying offsite at a resort. Anyone else staying at Sheraton Vistana Villas? We've been gifted this week stay.

If you keep to those dates we will be at the POP at the same time. I just booked our family trip there for January 23rd-29th.

The old site did NOT work to link the +10 days, but the new one worked like a charm once I refreshed the browser. Got everything. Thanks for help!

I'm glad it worked for you! I read a lot of people had success with it, but I couldn't get either site to work for me so I ended up having to wait until 7am to call in and got almost everything I wanted. But then I just waited a day and checked online and was able to switch things around and now my ADRs are perfect!

Sat Jan 4 - Chef Mickey 7am - Birthday breakfast!

Sun Jan 5 - Biergarten 5:15pm

Mon Jan 6 - Rainforest Cafe Downtown Disney 6pm (paid for with gift cards from Mypoints!)

Tue Jan 7 - 'Ohana 5:40pm

Thu Jan 9 - Akershus Princess Breakfast 11am - Eating as Lunch

Sat Jan 11 - 1900 Park Fare 9:15am - Goodbye breakfast as we're driving home afterwards

Nice choices! We have done all of those, except Rainforest at AK instead of DTD. I booked Akershus also this time, something we haven't done in 7 or 8 years. I hope I don't regret not booking an 'Ohana for the first time in a long time. Feeling the need to switch things up this trip.

Just found this thread and did a lot of reading. Planning our first trip January 14th- 24th. First 6 days will be at Wilderness Lodge and last 4 will be cruising the Bahamas on the Disney Magic. Have researched this trip to death, but after we booked everything, I realized we were going over MLK weekend (had switched our dates to miss the marathon). We were kind of locked in based on the cruise dates.

Now I am kind of panicking a little bit about the crowds. Does anyone have experience with MLK weekend? One site said crowd levels are a 8 that weekend and others said the week was a 4 overall. It is too late to change my plans I think and I have already made A ton of ADRs. Can anyone help ease my mind, or am I kind of screwed?

You aren't "screwed" by any means yes, the crowds will be heavier than other January dates, but it won't be unbearable. At least IMO.

You can't change your plans, you have your adrs, so go and have fun!

I agree; we were there last Jan. and will be there again this year and crowds were a bit heavier over the whole weekend and Monday was very busy, but still quite manageable. It really shouldn't be a big problem - relax and enjoy!
