Tomorrow is my 180+10 day. Please tell me how this works!

So, I should log in at 5:00 a.m. central time which is 6 a.m. eastern time. Correct? What should I expect to see that is different than today. What happens to show you that you have ten days that you can book with ADRs? I have seen that a few people posted they ended up having to call Disney in order to book. That would be an hour lost because they don't open until 7 eastern time, right? I hope I don't have to call...

I booked this morning. Signed in at 5:55 am eastern with my password, selected a restaurant (BOG), and under 'check availability' the dates for my trip were all showing, so I clicked on a date, dinner (then on the drop down under dinner picked a time), # of people, and waited until the clock hit 6:00 to hit 'find a table'. It came back with 2 times available and I clicked on one to reserve it.

The next page asked who in my party was dining with me, then the next page asks for the CC information. There was also a page to list a contact phone number and accept the terms. After I got that one I went back to choosing the others I wanted. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Make sure you sign in ahead of time, my page says 'Hi Georgina' even though I have not officially signed in. Click on the 'Hi, whoever' and it will ask for your password.

We are only a party of 2, but checking around now there seems to be availability at most places other than BOG. Of course, Dec 12 starts a new free dining period so tomorrow may be busy at reservations. Good luck!

You're correct on your time zone----Oh, and be sure to pray the site is up and running. It crashed this morning. So bummed. If it's acting up do call ASAP. The official phone time is 7 but I wonder if the phones are ever opened a tad early when the site is down?.

Good luck! Hope you get what you want.

Very helpful! Thanks! I am curious that if at 5 minutes before 6 it showed all the dates...why did you wait until 6 to hit "find table"? I was thinking that if it actually showed all the dates it might have been working before 6. Thoughts?

 

[georgina]

Yes, it did show all my dates 5 minutes early, I am not sure why I didn't try, superstitious, maybe? Kind of like on SW air when I try to check in too early, I thought it wouldn't be up until 6, but I don't know that for sure. It didn't crash for me and I was done by 6:15.

Well, let's do an experiment. If mine show 5 minutes early, I will try booking and let you know what happens! Now, you've got me wondering if it's possible to book earlier. You know what that means...it means I won't sleep tonight because I'll be checking!!

Hi there ... I am booked to be in Disney from December 21st until the 26 th..... I believe I have 189 days to go.. I have been reading posts saying you can book dining 180 + 10 ... So does this mean I should be able to call in and make dining reservations ... I have my reservation linked on the site but I cannot booked the dates ...it is only available up to the 12th of Dec

 

[micheypl]

I just phoned Disney..I misunderstood..the 180 + 10 means you can book reservations for the whole time ..as long as the first day is 180 days..
I thought people with resort reservations could actually book 190 days ..hee hee

Hey, I just tried it this morning as it is my 180 day mark, and their server clock has to be 6:00 Am EST before you can make the reservation.

So rest assured.

It would be nice, lol!

Belle, how did you do?

 

[Belle5]

Thanks for asking Mambo! I was resubmitting my request for an hour and fifteen minutes (during the last five minutes.... each minute). Would you believe the second it rolled over to 5:00 a.m. central time, my
BOG reservation went through and my whole ten days opened up like magic? The only things that didn't work were the dessert party which isn't available for my dates yet, and Narcoosees, which wouldn't allow me to book online OR on the phone. I have to call there at 5 p.m. (an hour from now) to speak with Narcoosee's to book a "group reservation" for my party of nine. That's a little frustrating as theoretically others have been booking since early this morning and there is the potential for it to be full...or at least nothing for our party size. I am disappointed after staying up to speak to the phone CM at 7 eastern time, and then being on hold 12-15 minutes...Narcoosee's wouldn't let them book it for me! Hoping it all works out here in a few minutes so I can go get some sleep after the Father's Day activities!

Congrats on getting everything else you wanted at least!
