Tried Booking ADRS but too early apparently

[antietam]

It is 180 days until i go on May 03 2008.
I rand up to book ADRS and wanted to start with Sunday 04 May as we did not feel we wanted an ADR on day of arrival.
The cast member told me that i could book May 04 tommorow and the next 10 days.
I thought this was strange as we arrive on May 03.
If i had wanted to book an ADR on arrival day would i then have been able to book the next 10 days today!!!!!

I am confused!!! :erm:
I have been told to ring back tommorow as the first ADR i want to make is 181 days yet our arrival day is 180

I was also going to phone 180 days before the holiday starts which is on the 16th november for me ( first night at pop is the 15th may )

I am not sure if this is right , HELP

If you are staying onsite then you can book 180 days from your check in day. However it seems that some CM's are misinformed and this often leads to problems like this.
I'm sure we had something similiar when we tried to book. We called back a few times and managed to get someone who knew what they were doing and we were able to book.

Don't give up keep trying. :thumbs-up

Or you could always phone back and if they say the same then just book an ADR for the first night then get on and book the 10 days. Straightaway after you have finished booking, call back and cancel the first one. Or is that a bit cheeky?!

Make a fake ADR for May 03 and then cancel it at a later date if that is what is going to allow you to book May 04.

I booked my ADRs last week-the strange thing was i mentioned that I was staying at the Boardwalk when the CM was telling me to leave plenty of time to get to Spoodles.Then she booked my ADRs for the next 10 days! I could have been staying at Boardwalk for just one night ,or telling a lie (I wasn't !!) but this surprised me -no reservation number or any other details required

I had the same idea to phone back and book May 03 but got through to a lady who asked me when i was checking in and then went ahead and booked 11 days ADRs for me

I got my days and times i wanted at California Grill,Crystal Palace and Coral Reef in Living seas to mention a few

It was definetely worth booking in advance as i am well pleased to get everything i wanted at the times and days i wanted.

Only problem was that i could not book last 3 days of holiday but the CM gave me a date to ring back when i could book all 3 in one go.

We are on DDP and want to make the most of it

Thats great news!! :thumbs-up

What are your remaining ADR's? If any of them are Le Cellier i would recommend you calling from the first date you are allowed rather than waiting and booking it at the same time as the others. Le Cellier amongst others is very popular and you will need to book it as soon as you are allowed to. :thumbs-up

Congrats!! :spin:

I still want to book Garden Grill in Epcot,Ohana at Polynesian and Tonys Town Square in MK.

I have booked Crystal Palace for 08:30.
I was wondering whether i should ring back and go for 08:05 which gives me a better chance of getting my toddlers onto some of the rides in Fantasyland before it gets busy.
How long would the Crystal Palace breakfast normally take,How do you get to the MK that early,is the transport already running?
Should i try to get earlier or is it not worth worrying about.
Although i have made a lot of ADRs i notice the DDP for 2008 does not have as many Restaurants as 2007 so if some more get added i may be tempted to try and change one or two but as i say at the moment i have them in place.
I read that Le Cellier was not very child friendly.
I had a choice of Rose and Crown,lots of bad food reports and Biergarten which i do not really fancy so plumped for Garden Grill.
We want to eat in MK on last day of holiday so Tonys seemsa good choice.
Thanks for advice

We had our only disapointing meal at Tony's last year,food was overcooked and tasteless,it was a shame because we enjoyed it so much in oct04 that we went a second time, Ohana has fantastic food it was delicious.if you want to eat in mk what about crystal palace or liberty tree? :wavey:

I read that Le Cellier was not very child friendly.


We went to Le Cellier with our 9 year olds last Saturday, and the server was very friendly (as you'd expected). One of kids said it was her favourite meal (but we hadn't been the Chef Mickey by then!!!).
