We're going for 11 nights in Jan, when can we make reservations for meals/cruises?

[Camping Griswalds]

We will be arriving Jan 27th, want to do CRT the 29th or later. We want to do an Illuminations cruise Feb 3rd, 4th or 5th. Can we book everthing at once or is it (I think) 90 days from day of arrival (1/27/06) to start booking, but actually 90 days from 1/29 and then 90 days from 2/3 or 2/4 or 25? Please help!!

If you're staying onsite, you should be able to do all your ADRs 90 days before the first day of your stay. Start with CRT, of course - if you have to call back exactly 90 days before that specific date, at least you'll have tried.

If you're staying offsite, you have to call 90 days before each date.

Cruises are also 90 days before the day you want to cruise - so if your choices are 2/2, 2/3 and 2/4, you'll have to call 90 days before 2/2; if that date is booked, you'll have to call back the next day for 2/3, etc.

For all ADRs (formerly PS) call 1-407-WDW-DINE
For cruises, call 1-407-WDW-PLAY (or, alternatively, 1-407-WDW-TOUR may be able to help you).

I booked the cruise for our trip last month.
It took me 3 tries, but eventually I got a date (you have call 3 month in advance at 7am on the dot to ensure availability)

Just a word of Advise Start dialing at 6:58 AM if Not open Hang up and redial right away till you get on.The cruises are very hard to get so be prepaired. Good Luck. You can also check here on this board to see if anyone would share a cruise with you if you can't get one. If you get one you might offer open seats to those who are looking to share the cost with you. I just hooked up with someone here on the board to share there cruise with me.

Believe it or not , we need the whole boat!!! I have a family of 5, my sister has a family of 5 and my mother is coming. That makes a total of 6 adults (counting my DS 13 as adult) and 5 kids. There will not be any leftover room.

Thanks for this advice! I'm going to try to book this just for fun! Heck I'm up at 6:30 with the little one anyway!!!
