When can you make dining reservations on line?

[kangaroodle]

I want to make reservations for my trip in November. Tomorrow will be 90 days until I ARRIVE. But it will be a few days before I want to make my reservation. I know if I call, I can make dining reservations starting at 90 days of my arrival date, regardless of when I want the dining reservation. Is this also true with the on line system? I have never made reservations on line so any hints or tips would be usefuL. THANKS!

good question, i was just wondering the same thing. I dont see hoe you can though. As of right now it only lets you choose up to nov 23.

I was told at the desk at Wilderness Lodge that, beginning sometime in late October, guests will be able to make reservations 180 days before their arrival date for up to 7 (or did they say 10?) days after the arrival date. I'll be keeping that in mind for our late January trip.

I would assume that the same policy will apply to both online and phone reservations.

You can use the 90+10 day online as well. You just have to enter your reservation number before making the dining reservations and it will open up the extra days for you. Even if you don't want your first res to be the day you arrive.

You can do it online as long as you have your ressie number. When you get into the system, click "retrieve my reservation" - once you put the number in, it should allow you to access the dates.

FWIW there are still some restaurants that don't seem to be fully accessible online - mainly Kouzzina and Sanaa. So if you're looking for those and can't find any availability, try calling.

Thanks! I was hoping I got the correct info! Guess I'll be waking up at 5am tomorrow to make that Thanksgiving reservation.....see what choices are left!

I have gotten up early this week to make ressies on line and I love it! It is so fast and I didn't have to wait on hold
I was finished in less than 5 minutes then went back to bed for an hour

Is it true that you can make online reservations at 6:00 am ET and the phone reservations start at 7:00 am ET?

Yes that is true.

The 6am availablility was news to me... Also, you can only make 90 + 10 reservations online if you book through Disney. If you book through a TA, you or the TA have to call.

I would suggest calling early. I called on my 90 day mark on Sunday and I had to shuffle a few things around because places were already booked.

I've moved this thread to the Restaurants board.
