This is an old thread from when Online ADRs were first launched. The online ADR system has evolved over the past year and some changes have been made. However, as time went on, and board members became more familiar with how to make ADRs, this thread was no longer viewed. Most questions from the FAQ became regular questions on the boards, and we were aware that this thread was no longer read. We unstuck it and it 'died'. It was recently bumped as current, but please be aware that it really isn't.
We haven't updated t his thread since September 2009, and will not be updating this thread in the future. Much of the general information in the first post can still be helpful. For specific questions (i.e. 90 days or 180 days, what time you can make your ADRs, etc,), make sure to verify the information with Disney or on the boards before trusting this as the 'gospel' truth.
Online ADR's are finally working after a long wait. We had an old online watch thread, that we've split. Posts prior to the launch of online booking can be found here if you're interested. (It may be a fun read for a day that you're frustrated with the system, many of us wished this upon oursleves
)
Now that online reservations are here, there are a million questions and at least a few different answers for each question. As we're trying to work through the ever changing policy and information, and discover the most common questions and answers, we'd like to keep as much as we can regarding online ADRs on this one thread, and address new information in the FAQ section.
As you know from reading through the boards, it can be confusing following multiple threads, but since so much time has passed since the launch of online ADRs, and this thread has grown accordingly, we are not automatically merging individual questions into this thread. However, any other 'official' threads that pop up will be merged into this existing thread. If there is still need for an official thread once we hit our post limit here, we'll close this thread and a moderator will open and maintain a new Official thread.
As we get definitive answers, the mods will try to update the FAQ to more accurately reflect today's questions and answers. Please be patient with us, this is as new to us as it is to all of you.

FAQ
What time can I make my ADR's Online?
As early as 3am Eastern Time. Originally the online system opened at 6:01 Eastern Time, but for the past few weeks board members have reported being able to open 90 and 90 +10 at 3am.
Can you make 90 +10 reservations if you're staying onsite?
Yes you can!
DVC and those that booked with a TA can't use the +10 online? What's up with that?
Nothing at all!! As of July 1st 2009 this glitch has been fixed!
I booked directly through Disney and the site still won't pull my 90 +10, what should I do?
First try clearing your cookies and history. If this doesn't work try every phone number you've had - ever. Many times this can be rectified with getting the 'right' number. The Disney computer system is tricky and will occasionally hold old phone numbers for years.
If you do this, and still can't get your reservation, unfortunately you will likely need to call. There are just some weird system glitches that are popping up.
Can you book Fantasmic Dining Packages Online?
Not yet, but it looks like you might be able to in the future (Thanks to pilferk for the instructions)
Go to: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining-events-and-packages/
To get there, from the "normal" dining page, you click on the "Choose another dining type" drop down, and select special dining event.
Scroll down, and you'll see the Fantasmic packages.
Right now the "book a reservation" button doesn't work, but I'd guess the plan is for it to start working, at some point.
Can I book my Pirates Cruise, BBB, LaNouba, etc Online?
Like the Fantasmic Package, the answer is "no" for now.
Will Disney no longer take phone reservations?
Most agree that this would be highly unlikely. Not everyone is on the internet. Also, Disney themselves have not announced anything to indicate that their goal is to remove phones entirely.
I'm on the Dining Plan, does the computer system know not to charge my credit card for CRT, HDDR and the like?
If you use your reservation number tied in with the dining plan, you will not be charged. Beware though, if you book outside of the Dining Plan Guidelines (such as booking CAT 1 for a dinner show) your credit card will be charged. Reversing that charge will have to be done with Disney via telephone.
Can I View/Modify/Cancel my reservations online?
If you have your confirmation number, yes you can! Just go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/restaurants/ Click on My Disney Vacation and click on Retrieve Reservations. Enter your confirmation number and your phone number.
Can I add my celebration to my reservation online?
Yes you can...
How do I add my celebration online?
After you check out there will be an option under "What Will You Celebrate", that says
Oh NO!! I finally made my reservation, but the computer went to a blank screen! or
I swear I made my ADR, but I didn't get a Confirmation Number.
Is there a tutorial or walk through on the Dis?
Yes there is, another Dis'er wrote a helpful walk through, which can be found Here (It's on page 180 if you have problems opening the link)
