Using online ADR page help, please

[sandymandr]

I'm playing with the online ADR page so I can walk through the process before Tuesday. I logged into my account. I thought I could retrieve my ressie under My Vacation, but I keep getting errors, "Unable to process your request at this time". So, if 2 questions, 1) If I can get my ressie pulled up through my vacation, will it automatically pull that info into the ADR booking system? 2) Is there some other or better way to get your ressie pulled in to ADRs so the can know you have DP? I saw that I can pull it in on each reservation, but that seems awfully timely. Plus, when I hit the link to "retrieve reservation" on dining page, nothing happens. Are they updating system today???? Any help is appreciated greatly!!!

#1 Keep trying system might just be busy, and you should be able to pull your vacation ressie up BUT system will not allow for whole time your ressie is for, i.e. 2/1 - 7/2010, you will only see 2/1/10 for now. When you are allowed to very early Tues am you will then see all you days show up. #2 this is the only way to make ADR's online, otherwise you can call 7:00 am that morning. It doesn't matter if you are on Dining plan, will matter if you have to "pay ahead" of time dining ressies, like special Hoop De doo dinner. Just full around with it for now, make reservations for days they allow without pulling your vacation ressie up. This way you'll see how it works best. I've been reading that the normal 3:00 am time is now 6:30 am, not sure how true this is but you can check boards by searching. Hope this helps!

Thanks famgel! Everything I have been reading is now saying 0600 am EST for online ressies.

I got my ADRs today. I tried at 3 AM - no luck.

Worked perfectly at 6:00 AM EST.

My first request asked to retrieve my reservation and then kept it there the whole time I was logged in. I did check out frequently - you have 20 minutes. I am on deluxe plan so I checked out 3 times with about 8 meals booked wth each shopping cart/dining cart.

If you are planning on LTT - it did not work for me and I had to call at 7 AM, but got the ressies I wanted. JUST becaue the site said not available I had read that once people called they were able to get it.

Hope this helps!

Good Luck!

sandymandr, for what it's worth, I have never been able to pull up my reservation on the "my Disney vacation" page. It always gives me an error message. But when I go to a restaurant page to book a reservation, I can almost always get it to come up there, although even there the system can be a little wonky, as it seems it was for you. As long as you get the restaurant booking site to recognize your reservation, your ADRS will be linked to it. There is regrettably no way to pull up all your existing ADRs by putting in your resort reservation number - you still have to enter each ADR number individually.

Thanks!! I do feel better! I am getting excited about Tuesday! I have to call for F! dinner, so if I have to call for LTT, no big deal. I just need to make sure I get my CRT! I have 3 days to choose from, so I may start one in 3 different windows! And people thought my OCD would never pay off THanks for the tips about checking out too, I'll probably check out after CRT just to make sure, then do several at one time.
