Yikes! Panicking about call-in date

[poohteacher]

My reservation starts August 16th. I thought my call-in date was Monday (May 18th). I read on another board that free-dining call in date starts this Sunday, but, free dining starts August 16th. I am confused. Do I have the wrong call-in date? Please let me know if I am wrong.

If you click on the 'dining' link in the menu bar up above on this page, you'll find the calculator on which you may input your arrival date and be given your official 90-day call date.

I arrive on Aug 14 but will be at the Dolphin until the 16, when I move over to BWV. So...I have to call tomorrow, the 16th, to make my 8/14 ADRs, then on Sunday, the 17th, to make my ADR for 8/15. On Monday, the 18th, I can call and make all the rest of my ADRs, starting with 8/16. I'm a wee bit concerned about the wait times that morning because free dining starts the same day, but not much I can do. I'm hoping that I've chosen 'lesser' restaurants to eat in.
But, for 8/16 checkin, Monday the 18th is the day we can call....good luck to everyone. Hope you (we) all get pretty much what we need.

We also check in on the 16th august and our day to call is 18th May. Some of the calculators are a day out
Hope you manage to get all your adrs x

I arrive 8/16/09 as well and am starting to panic as well. I just called WDWdine and was told again that my date is 5/18.....Monday!

All the calculators I've looked at (the one here on the DIS, as well as Scott Thomas's) say May 18 is the booking date for Aug 16. Not sure what the confusion is.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't concerned one bit until I read on another post that the "free-diners" will be starting to call in on Sunday! Since I knew that my reservation started on the first day of free dining and since I had been thinking that Monday was my call-in date, I got worried. It's the pre-call-in-for-ADR jitters. I wonder if Disney related anxiety is an official diagnosis Anyway, thanks all for assuring me that I, indeed, have to call in on Monday

Hang in there - try not to panic! Before you know it you'll be done and happy that you got what you were looking for
