You can book sooner but when your window of 90 days is up, you can only book that first day. When you call you can do you entire vac. online I will need to book again tomorrow and then a couple of times again. (as the 90days comes up) So all in all not a bad service, either call and use up your minutes. or go inline and do a day at a time.

If you are staying on site it will allow you to book up to 10days of dining at once so you do not have to check back everyday. If you are off-site you have to book one day at a time. No matter what though you cannot book anything prior to 90days in advance except for a couple of restaurant exceptions.

(as the 90days comes up)< The online site will allow you to do the 90+10 deal, as long as you have a hotel confirmation number and enter it into the system.

Originally Posted By danyoung I just used the system a couple days ago to book an upcoming WDW trip in March, and I was really happy with how smoothly everything went.

But acting on the recommendations of other online friends, I changed my request from party of 1 to party of 2, and surprise - there were plenty of openings all week long. I feel pretty strongly that this is a very uncool move on the part of the online programmers to not only attempt to fill every table but to fill EVERY SEAT! I've since read that someone with a party of 5 was told there were no availabilities, but when she changed to a party of 6 she had lots of options. Incredibly uncool, Disney!
