When can I make reservations??

[Fantasyland Mom]

My first day at Disney for our next trip will be September 17 of NEXT year...so when can I make dining reservations? It's not still 90 days, right? Is it 180? Or 180+10?? I want to mark the date on my calendar so I can be ready to reserve ASAP! How early in the morning can I call, and how early does the online reservation system work? Thanks in advance!

It's 180 days from your reservation... however if you have a Disney reservation (package or room only) you can enter your confirmation number, and get 180+10 days out...

Since you said September 17th, you can start making your ADRs on March 21st, 2011. (http://pscalculator.net/pscalc.php)

The phone lines open at 7am EST, online at 6am EST.

Awesome!! Thanks for that link, too! So, we're getting a package with free dining; does that mean we can book with confirmation number on March 11? Gosh, it's so long to wait, and I already have my restaurants lined up!

No problem!

No, you can't book before March 21st, 2010 even with a confirmation number... what you can do (and what the 180+10 means) is that yo can book all of your reservations from Sept. 17-27th starting on March 21st.

(If you were staying off site, you'd have to book Sept 17 on Mar 21, then Sept 18 on Mar 22, etc... )

OOOOOHHH!! Okay! Thank you for clearing that up for me!! This is my third trip onsite with dining and I never knew what that meant! Yes, I'm a little dense sometimes!
