I Know that you can call at 7am Eastern at 180days out and book up to ten days into your vacation. But this year we have the online booking, When can you start booking online, !2am Eastern 3am Eastern 7am Eastern? and can you book the +10 online?

6AM Eastern. Today we got online, retreived reservation, and kept hitting refresh until it opened our days on the calendar. Got everything for 8/21-8/31 within 10 minutes of desired time. Yes, you can book 180+10 online - when you retreive your reservation it will show in the calendar which days you can book for.
glad you all got what you wanted. For the most part many many things are available except for maybe Mama Melrose Fantasmic Package that i know of at this point.
I was online this am and could not get LeCelliers for the 21st. I also called and was told there was nothing available for that day. I guess I'll keep trying.
I was so frustrated today! My 180 day window opened up today for my August 21-26 vacation. I am staying club level at AKL, so have the help of the IPO office to make our plans. As of 6pm tonight after work, still no dining itinerary had been e-mailed to me. I called and they where closed. I contacted 407-WDW-DINE myself and asked if any dining plans had been made under my reservation number. Only JIKO (our first night) I am told, has been made. YIKES!!! I have Hard-to-get requests I need to guarantee!!! I don't want to wait another day!!! So....I have the CM look for me to see what I can get for Fantasmic MM dinner package. He found me a 4:35 slot at MM, and told me I could grab it and cancel if IPO has managed to find something more suitable. I also took the time to book our lunch at Le Cellier before it was completely unnatainable as well. I was so worried that I would be stuck with those 2 reservations completely unavailable. I even mentioned this to the CM helping me that I was worried that there could be a chance of a double booking. He reassured me that all I need to do is call and cancel one if this happens, and he promised me nothing would happen to my reservations, they would not be cancelled on me in the event of double booking. Hopefully tomorrow I will hear from AKL and know if they managed to book anything at all.....I am now anxious to hear what they where able to book me! I must say that it has been stressful today not knowing what was going on, but I feel better now that I have somewhat of a backup plan!
Really like this online system. My 180+ was Sunday. Logged in and quickly booked each that we wanted within 30 minutes of our "ideal" time, which I thought was pretty good considering our party will be 7 or 9 depending on the days.
8/20 - Crystal Palace, dinner
8/21 - Rose & Crown, dinner
8/22 - 50's Prime Time Cafe, dinner
8/23 - Liberty Tree Tavern, lunch
8/24 - T-Rex, dinner
8/25 - Germany, dinner
8/26 - Sci Fi Dine-In, lunch
8/27 - Chef Mickey's, breakfast
Did you call for T-Rex or get it online? I wasn't able to get it online and I don't know if it is too soon to call. I planned on eating there on the 24th also.
