New Advanced Dining Reservation System & Effects on Booking **Updated 1-14-09**

Delightful!

We rarely have a trip planned much before 90 days in advance and it has been a real drag since the 180 day window and DDP to secure decent ADRs.

Awesome! 90 days is much better.

Now I can wait to see how much tax return we get before booking our anniversary trip! What a relief.

That means that if I am staying on property, I can make ADR's for the 1st day of my stay (90 days prior), and then ...basically...my entire stay (up to 10 days)...?

That's right. Just call 90 days from your check-in date and make sure you have your resort reservation number. They will ask you for that. Then you will be able to book 10 additional days, as well, which for most of us, covers our entire trip.

I'm definitely glad to see this change - 180 days always seemed absurd to me!

Does anyone know if this includes Bibidi Bobidi Boutique?

Yes, it does.

See BBB Reservations where another INTERCOTee confirmed such.

I'm confused...

does this:

Due to the unique components and special nuances of Grand Gathering experiences and La Nouba performances, reservations for these offerings can be made up to 180 days in advance.

mean that "Grand Gatherings" can still book any ADRs 180 days in advance or is it the specific "Grand Gatering" experiences that are offered (such as cruises etc.?)

Thanks!

I was wondering this myself. I am planning a trip in Sept. with a group of 9, so this info would be most helpful. I hope someone comes along with this answer.

The specific Grand Gathering experiences can be booked 180 days in advance.

Grand Gathering groups have the same dining reservation booking time window as other Guests.

Thanks for the clarification, Figment!
