VERY impressed with the online reservations system!

Hi all,

I am at the point where I can make the ADRs for our trip in August - but as we're not staying "on property" I'm having to do them day, by day. A long process!!!

So yesterday I made one online for our first night - dinner at WCC - a new one for us so I'm very excited as I've heard great things! The system was SO easy to use!

This morning was the date I could attempt to make our CRT ressie! What fun! I am at work (7am EST is 12noon UK time) and can't dial out internationally from here, so used my colleagues iPhone to go online during my lunch hour (I should add that I can't use internet explorer for this - we have the rubbish old version 6 at work!). I did the ressie, or thought I did, and the page just went blank - the 3G signal was bad and safari was really slow. I panicked and tried it again (3 times in total!) and just got an error!!! Eventually gave up - went into my hotmail and there it was - an email CONFIRMING our ressie!

Good old Disney had generated an error to avoid me making the booking 4 times and paying 4 times!!! It had processed and booked the 1st time, just didn't show it on the website. But I have a proper email and its in the "my reservations" section so all good!

Thanks Disney - what a great site! I shall be doing all my ADRs online if I can. Thankfully most of ours aren't super busy / popular places so I can probably wait until I get home from work (6pm UK time, 1pm EST) to do those but I do have a Le Cellier lunch and an Ohana's dinner to try and get as well so may just try the iPhone again!!!

Sorry for what is maybe a pointless post - I am just impressed yet again with Disney!

Jxxx

I agree, I made my August ADRs this morning and it worked better than ever. The last time I made them for my May visit, the systems were going through upgrades and the +10 was turned off. It was difficult to do. Glad to see that the upgrades were positive ones. Plus the new "print" function is a nice touch to be able to print all of your ADRs. Before they added that I would cut and paste to a word file. I'm happy to see the system is getting more user friendly.

but what abot going past your +10?

Yesterday I booked all my ADRs for the first 10 days. Today is day 179 and I thought I would be able to book for day 11 of our trip but it will not bring up availability. Did I misunderstand or am I doing something wrong?

Help...today is the day for my LeCellier ADR and I don't want to miss it!

I agree, its all so quick and easy.
Being from the UK our only previous option was an expensive phone call.
Ive nearly booked all of ours, just 1 more to go


roll on August

I would think one more day would open today. Is this one reservation for a stay longer than 10 days? Or is this a split stay. When I've done my 14 night reservation, I find the first 10 days open, and on the next day 10 days are still open, but has advanced one additional day. Try making an adr (to cancel) on your last day available and see if the calendar doesn't advance afterwards (and remember to cancel the mock ADR). Just thinking out loud.

That's what I thought too...we are staying 16 nights and we are moving hotels (ASMo to Caribbean Beach-Yacht Club).

I'll try what you said...thanx!
