What time can you begin?

So, we try and get what we want. I know the "day" that I can begin picking my dining reservations (2 days to go!). Does anyone know what time they open up? I remember 5am EST? But, is it the same?

It is sooooo stressful and sooooo wonderful at the same time!

Thanks for the help!
 
It's been ages since I last made ADR. Do you have to call or can you book through the app or online?
 

I made a few ADRs this morning - window opened this morning for 11/26. Couldn't get anything before exactly 6 am Eastern. Did Cali Grill, Steakhouse 71, Space 220 & GF Cafe. None available for KONA, but I suppose they won't load anything until the renovation is complete, even though the website says it will open again this fall. Was hoping for breakfast on 1/29.
 
I've always read reports that some reservations open up at 5:45 EST. AJ from DFB even mentioned it on a recent video. Yet that has never been my experience. I've never been able to book anything until exactly 6:00 AM - until this week. Our window opened up on Tuesday. I was able to book Sangria University at Coronado Springs at 5:45, however nothing else we wanted (all regular ADR's) opened up until 6:00 on the dot.

I'm wondering if the reports of 5:45 bookings being available are for dining experiences rather than regular ADR's :confused3 . Or maybe I just got lucky! I was pleasantly surprised as they system worked really well for once. We got everything we wanted at the times we wanted except for Space 220 Lounge which I knew was a long shot. It was the easiest ADR morning I've had in a long time.
 
I'm curious - in what order did you makes these ADRs?
Order listed - Cali Grill, Steakhouse71 breakfast, Space 220 lounge & GF Cafe breakfast. Space 220 was for 60+9, though. Others were for 11/28, 11/27 & 11/29, respectively.

On day after window opened, I also made Topolinos breakfast for 60+8 & Topolinos dinner for 11/30.

We're staying for 11 nights - have to use up points we couldn't use due to COVID/

Glad everything worked out. Making adrs is so stressful.
