30 or 60 days in advance for ADRs? - Page 2

**ddoll** · 01-25-2006

Since we have a fairly large group going in September, we'll need to call and book these PS's as soon as the window opens.

We want to do the Fantasmic Dessert Buffet and BB.

Tell me more about Storytellers. That sounds good and the menu looks yummy.

Anyone have any photos of the restaurants?

Wish - The Fantasmic Dessert Buffet is one to ADR/PS waaaaay in advance though... You can slack at DL in many ways, but not for that one!

And since you are doing a summer trip you may at least want to do it a month or so in advance, because it will be more crowded...

ddoll - You are very smart to do the ADR/PS as soon as possible with a big group. A big group is always the most difficult to seat and you will be able to keep the group together that way! Smart!

Thanks Goof. Unfortunately they only accept ADRs for the Fantasmic Dessert buffet 30 days in advance of your dates. I also read that it usually sells out within FIVE minutes of the dining lines opening. SO, you better believe I am going to be on the phone at opening on May 27th, for June 27th. hehe. Then again on May 28th & May 29th if I don't get the first night.

The good thing is that you have a few days in which you can call in and reserve if you don't get it the first day... You will need to set up a speed dial for the dining line!

Oh, and not that I am counting or some computer geek or anything, but you will want to call on May 29th for June 28th. This is because there are 31 days in May!

Do you know if you need to be staying at a Disney hotel to make PS reservations for character meals or other meals? I did this last time I went to WDW, but I was staying on-site. Here, I will be staying nearby, and I don't remember what the PS rules were for WDW!

Thanks for any info!

I am nearly positive you don't need to be staying at a DL resort hotel to make them. Many people stay off-site there so I can't imagine that would be a rule.

Wish is 100% right on that...
