You can make your dining ADRs 180 days from the day you check into your hotel. So if you're checking in 1/30 then by rights, you should have made them back in July or August. Does this help?
I thought the change had already occurred. I'm a DVC Member so I may call them this morning to check. But if they haven't changed the rules yet then after Oct. 27th just make the reservations; you're definately within the 180 days now!
On Oct. 27 ADRs are going back to 180 days. If they were staying at 90 days, your day to call would have been Nov. 1st, but since they are switching back, now you get to call 6 days earlier and you can make reservations for up to 10 days into your vacation. In your case, you will be able to make ADRs for your whole stay. All you need to know is that on Oct. 27th you can call or go on-line and make your ADRs. Hope this helps.
