New Dining Reservation Booking System

Official Announcement from Disney

The Walt Disney World® Resort will release a new reservation booking system for dining, recreation and tour reservations in late October 2008. The new reservation system will replace our current Dining Reservation System and will allow you to book multiple dining reservations for your Clients in one experience, while associating reservations to your Clients’ Walt Disney World Resort room reservations.

In the future, Travel Agents and Guests will be able to make dining reservations online at disneytravelagents.com and disneyworld.com with this new reservation booking system. The launch date for this enhancement will be announced at a later date.

As a result of the system upgrade, effective July 29 through late October 2008, Guests will be able to book dining reservations up to Jan. 25, 2009 arrivals. ; In late October, booking processes will return to normal, allowing Guests to book up to 180 days of arrival.

The system upgrade will not impact Victoria and Albert’s Restaurant, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and Chef Mickey’s Restaurant. Those three venues will continue to observe the normal booking processes throughout the system cutover.

Note: Any and all dates listed above are subject to change without notice.
 
I assume only TAs will be able to make the reservations online ; ??? ... because if the average Joe can do it, we'll be in for a big mess of overbookings, wrong bookings, deleted bookings, etc.
 
From what I hear they will attaching the reservation to your booking number and or phone number to prevent double bookings I hope this is the case.

Hhhmmmm... does that mean only people staying onsite could book their dining ADRs?
 
This was once the case, maybe they are going to do this to bring people back to staying on property.

My thoughts exactly. ; I remember WAAAAY back when and you could only make a dining reservation if you were staying on property. ; Of course that was BDP (before dining plan) so it was no big to walk up to a restaurant anyhow.
