Understanding 180+10

[PinkBudgie]

Do I have this right? This Friday is my 180, I think. It is 180 days from our first night. Is this when 180 starts? Or does 180 start from the day of your ADR. Say we are not making any ADRs for our first night but want one for the next day, do I make them on Friday or Sat?
And if we are there for 13 nights, I'll have to come back later to make the ADRs for the end of the trip, right? Is it 180 days from those days?
And if I wasn't trying to get in to the castle or BOG dinner, could I actually make my ADRs on Sat and not loose out on anything? (I just have more time on Sat than on Friday)

This is all so confusing, I'm just trying to figure out how it all works.
Thanks!

180 days from your resort check in date.

Thank you. Must I rush on my first day that I can make ADRs or can I wait another day and most likely still be pretty good?

It really depends on whether you have a "must have" meal you want to book. At 180 days prior to your reservation you can make reservations for the next 10 days of your stay.

Being from the UK we tend to come to Disney for 14 nights so any must have reservations are strategically placed on days 10,11, 12 and 13 so that I have best chance of being in first to get it booked eg BOG

Oh, I see. I wondered how you could ever be "first" to get in. No, nothing "must have".

But I have a question. I just went to MDE and tried to make a reservation for June 19th, but it only had dates available up to the 18th which is 180 days. If you can make them "plus 10" how do you do that? Am I going to the right place?

Ok, never mind. I was clicking on the restaurant choice, but it seems you are supposed to fill out the info at the top and they will the data base for your restaurant choices. A little confusing, but I figured it out. At first it said there was nothing available and while I was still thinking suddenly a time appeared and I clicked on it and reserved it. Well that took about 15 min to do and now I have to go to work. Have to do the rest later and hope for the best. Thanks for your help!
