Hello ... long time reader, first time poster. :)

The more I read about all the ADR updates and changes the more I get confused... :confused:

Ive been to WDW many times growing up, but first time as an adult where I have to do all the planning! Ha. :)

Going 04/25/09 through 05/01/09 ....can anyone tell me WHEN can I start calling about my dining reservations? Oct 25th? Yes? Maybe?

I'd appreciate any help. :D

Maybe.

Disney is 'mucking' around with the ADR system, so we're in a state of flux right now. If you want Chef Mickeys, Cinderella's Royal Table, or Victoria and Albert's, you'll want to call on 10/27/08, 180 days prior to your arrival date. For all other ADRs, RIGHT NOW, Disney is saying that's a 90 day out call, or 1/25/09.

However, when Disney first made the announcement about the 90 days, it was only for ADRs after some time in January. They've since allowed February dates to call. Here's a link to Mark's blog (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/blog.php?b=204)with the initial info about the 90 day change.

What I'd recommend is to watch the weekly updates here (on the MousePlanet main page, on Monday's unless something happens) AND about 10/25/08, call Disney and ASK them when you can make your ADRs.
