| Why only 60 days out? Is it because DLR is a smaller venue than WDW? just seems really odd to be such a BIG difference.

| I would imagine it has to do with the smaller number of restaurants and the fact that a lot of locals go there just to dine since several of the restaurants are outside of the parks and don't require admission.

| But I thought I read they are taking some 90 days out. did you call and check? We made ADRs, but some we didn't. We walked right up and got in within minutes. But go ahead and book.

| I'm not booking a trip to DLR until 2011... I was just wondering why it was 60 days (a friend of mine is going in 170+ days and she made mention of it)... oh well, it seems the small venue is the reason, no biggie

| It wasn't so long ago that WDW was (mostly) 90 days out. The popularity of the dining plan, coupled with a variety of different time periods (2 years for the dinner shows, extra time for some of the character meals), the mad rush for CRT when it opens up... Most of these issues didn't exist at DL in the first place. Yes, there are fewer restaurants, far fewer on-property guests so there's less demand for on-property table service meals, and far fewer table service restaurants in the parks. So, there aren't any problems searching for a solution. But of course, Disney doesn't explain itself, so we're all guessing.

| For years, the only way you could make a reservation at Blue Bayou, was just to run over and wait in line as soon as the park opened, and in fact, many people still do it that way.

I had forgotten about that. I can clearly remember my dad making a beeline for the Blue Bayou while my mom got my sister and I in line for the closest ride. Yes, 60 days may not be as good as 90, but it is a heck of a lot better than rushing at park opening. In April we tried at about 11:30 to get in for lunch. The next available time they had was 9pm! We didn't eat at the BB that time around.
