Hi! Today is the day Sam!

Here's a little trick for you. Just drop this in the Address field of your browser, and hit enter:

javascript: intYear=2006; intMonth=10; intDay=7; intPeriod = 180; dt = new Date(); dt.setTime(0); intOffset = dt.getTimezoneOffset(); dt.setYear(intYear); dt.setMonth(intMonth-1); dt.setDate(intDay); intOffsetNow = dt.getTimezoneOffset(); intH = 8 + (intOffset/60) - 6 + ((intOffset-intOffsetNow)/60); dt.setHours(intH); dt.setMinutes(0); dt.setSeconds(0); intPeriodMillis = intPeriod*24*60*60*1000; dt.setTime(dt.getTime()-intPeriodMillis); alert(dt);

(Be careful with stuff like this: Someone malicious could write some script that could damage your computer.)

Now that seems to indicate that 180 days is actually tomorrow, not today.

(Be careful with stuff like this: Someone malicious could write some script that could damage your computer.) (Also, note that this is set up for Daylight Saving Time; you'll need to change that 4 to a 5 for Eastern Standard Time.)

You're right. I'm sorry! I just checked the PS calculator too! I guess I shouldn't have been on the DIS boards without my first cup of coffee!

Thanks guys, thats a great help.

I can tell you it's tomorrow, because that is my 180 day mark too!

Good luck to you both! The 180 day plus 10 is great. My date was April 3 and I got everything I wanted for the week!

Happy planning! I made my 180 on February 18th and it went well and I got everything I wanted!

If you are booked at a Disney resort, you can make them today....you have 180 days plus a 10 day bonus....so at 190 days, you can make your ADRs.

We are due to arrive at the AKL on the 7th so our 180 days are from the 7th Oct. We are transfering from the Contemporary, this would count as a new stay? am I right?

eblack0409, so if allears dining calculator tells me that at 180 days out, I can book my reservations on June 22, I can actually make them on June 12 if I'm a Disney resort guest?? Thanks.

I don't think that's the way it works is it?? I believe that you can book at 180 days before you arrive, but at that time you can book ADRs for the following 10 days. Rather than call every day for the next 10 days. At least this is how I understand it to work.

Hi! That is how it works. You call the 180th back from your arrival date, then you get to make all your ADRS for the first day of your stay up to 10 days after that. So in 1 phone call, you can make all your ADRS. It's awesome to get it all done at once! The CM I had was very patient and helpful. We were on the phone for about 20 minutes! It's so much easier than having to get up at 7:00AM every day to make individual ADRS!

No. You can make your reservations for the first 10 days of your trip on June 22, not June 12.
