    See that ADR is now online...can you give all the "need to know" info? Is it still better to call & speak with actual person? How hard is it to get choices if I'm calling/online 90 days out? Arriving 11/7 so I figure my call day is 8/9

    Hi Ellen - there are pros and cons to the new advance dining reservation online system.  The biggest benefit is that the online system resets its calendar at 6 am.  Therefore, you can actually make your reservations an hour earlier than you can on the phone system.

    However, I do find that it can be a bit cumbersome.  For example, you actually have to go to each dining location's page in order to access the reservation system.  That can take some extra time.  In addition, I find that the telephone representatives are generally faster than the online system, and can also offer a personal touch.

    If you are calling exactly 90 days out, I'd suggest that you try the online system first, until the telephone system opens at 7 am.  Try to obtain your most hard-to-get reservations first, such as Cinderella's Royal Table, Le Cellier, and Ohana.  Then, call at 7 am to get the rest of your reservations taken care of.

    Have a great vacation!
