What are Advanced Dining Reservations?
Advanced Dining Reservations (ADR) used to be called Priority Seating. It isn't a true dining reservation where a table is reserved for a particular time, but instead guarantees you the next available table after your ADR time.
You should plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before your ADR time, and can expect to wait between 5-30 minutes for your table, depending on how busy the restaurant is.
How do I make an Advanced Dining Reservations?
By calling 407 WDW-DINE (939-3463) between 7am-10pm (EST) weekdays, and 7am-8pm (EST) weekends & holidays.
You can also make ADRs at every WDW Resort Lobby Concierge desk, at each theme park or restaurant, or by calling from your WDW Resort in-room phone.
When you make your ADR, be sure to write down the confirmation number you are given, and take it with you as you may need to show it.

Can WDW Resort Guests book earlier than 180 days?
Yes, guests at Walt Disney World Resort hotels can book ADRs for their length of stay (up to 10 days) by calling 180 days from their Resort arrival date, thereby giving them up to 190 days to book.
Do I really need to make an ADR?
If you really want to eat at a certain place, then yes, it's recommended. The popular meals / restaurants book up quickly, so it's always best to call as soon as you know where you want to eat, preferably 180 days in advance. With the introduction of the Dining Plan, even traditionally quieter restaurants are getting harder to book or walk up to on the day.
I called and the date / time I want is no longer available, what should I do?
Be flexible with dates and times and let the Cast Member know a variety of dates. Try calling back a few times before you leave, as cancellations often open up.
