ADR booking, phone or online

mum24children · 20 Jan 20, 09:32 PM

I'm ready to book my ADR's tomorrow. Would you say it is best to book online or by phone? Also I've seen somewhere that you can only book the fantasmic package by phone? Is this true of Tony's festival of dining package too? I have free DDP through booking my tickets. Will I need proof or will it be obvious through my Disney Experience? Is it worth booking the QS as well as TS meals?
Sorry for so many questions. Getting a bit nervous.

Book Online.
You should be able to book every restaurant online including Fantasmic/Tonys.

If not call the dining telephone number.

You don't need proof of DDP when booking restaurants.

You can only book certain QS like Be Our Guest lunch/breakfast and a few others.

You need to book them as well.

Don't worry you will be fine.

Much easier to book online. You can book everything online, I have certainly booked everything you have mentioned online.

At this point it is not relevant whether you will be using a dining plan with the exception of Cinderella�s Royal Table if you are interested in that one, in this case you just need to click a button to say you will reserve with dining plan credits. You don�t need to do that for anything else.

There are only four QS locations that are bookable.

I have always booked on the phone talking to a nice lady in WDW with a usa accent and telling me what the orlando weather is like today.

Would never contemplate booking a QS meal, as the attraction is to eat when hungry and not when the alarm rings as is TS.*

Thanks everyone, it's all done. Did it all online and apart from accidentally booking Be Our Guest for tomorrow it all went well. Thanks for all the advice

I know the OP has booked without problem but the last 2 years I've resorted to phoning as I had problems with the App & my card on file, used same card on phone with no issues !

What I would add is that in some cases I had a better choice of times that what was being displayed on MDE eg Crystal Palace - earliest breakfast online was 9:30 but got an 8:30 on the phone- & this wasn't the only one as I also snagged a couple that were showing no availability.
