Booking Reservations

It should. I also think I need to correct you on the 180 + 10 day thing. I earliest you can make a dining reservation is 180 days from your arrival date. The 10-day thing doesn't mean you get you add 10 days to your 180 from you original check-in date. If you are staying as a resort guest, then you get to book your dining reservations starting at 180 day out but can then book for you entire trip up to 10 days; if that makes sense.

Example:

Let's say you are staying on grounds at WDW and your check-in date is 7/1/2017 and you length of stay is 8 days.

The earliest day you can book your first dining reservation is 1/2/2017. Also, as of 1/2/2017, you can also book your dining reservations for your entire trip. That is where the "+ 10 days" comes in. Instead of waiting for each day of your trip to book the next days dining reservation, Disney has okayed for you to book all your dining reservations for your entire trip (up to 10=day long trip) starting at the first 180-day reservation mark.

Does that make sense? It is kinda difficult to understand and sometimes difficult to explain. I can try to explain it differently if I made it more confusing.

My Magic Maker takes care of all that for me. She books my ADrs and my Fastpasses

A "Magic" Maker is a trained Disney vacation planner

So are the people at AAA or Off to Neverland Travel or the CM from The Walt Disney Travel Company

I thought so too.  At work people told me when I retire (4 years from today YAY) that i should become one.  Chelle taught me so much.

I know I promote this alot, but that is because she saved us so much time and money.   My dad always told me,

"When youre the grave digger, it always helps to know where the bodies are buried"

In short, you dont know what you dont know, and they are trained to know.  Didnt cost me any extra to use her.

I think using someone else to plan your trip just takes the fun out of it.....but then again if you only ever use a magic maker, you haven't done any of this fun stuff so don't really know what you are missing....everyone travels differently. I love the timing of the dates to make the ADRs and then the fast passes and lastly the online check in....FUN FUN FUN

I think it's the thrill of the hunt! I love making the pieces fit. But it doesn't mean I'm right or wrong. I just like having the control in my hands, that way if something doesn't work, I fix it. Again, I haven't booked any other way, this works for me.
