Disney Online Dining Reservation (ADR) system now available!

[eeyoreguy]

The long awaited and often rumoured system for making Disney Dining Reservations online over the Internet is now online

disneyworld.disney.go.com/restaurants

UK visitors still get bounced to the UK site so may have to click the "visit US site" link on the top left handside of the webpage to be able to see the booking system. ( http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/res...eDomestic=true may work better for UK folks )

Once there, guests see the Disney restaurants including special events and dinner shows available to book.

At this time, anyone seems to be able to book anything and the system does not seem to force people to put in a reservation. This means anyone can seemingly make as many reservations as they please including the multiple reservations at the same date & time which has long been a Disney problem.

The system seems somewhat flakey at the moment, returning 404 not found pages whilst working fine other times. Reports also indicate that when the online system says no availability, phoning the dining line indicates plenty of room.

It is as yet unclear if Disney will tie down the ability to make reservations to ensure that people don't tie up availability by booking many different restaurants at the same time.

The system has the usual Disney 90 days or less in advance booking restriction (90 days + 10 if a Disney resort guest)

After completing your reservations, you can review them easily, print them out and even cancel ones you don't need.

Although nice looking, the system starts to feel slow in actual use and it's too early to see how well it will do under load. There is a lot of clicking around needed to book a couple of weeks worth of restaurants as well.
