That's pretty much how I thought it worked, it's just that I didn't know it was "capped" at 10 days (in case the length of the stay is longer than that). Good to know!<br /><br />Hehe, well, sometimes even THAT doesn't help you get the dining reservation you want! On the day 90 days prior to my September vacation, I called to make a reservation for the Chef's table at Victoria & Albert's for the next-to-last day of my 10-day stay, and I *still* could not get it! (The only thing I could have done differently is to get up at the crack of dawn to be one of the first callers of the day, but I didn't expect that to be an issue when calling 90 days out for a vacation in September).<br /><br />So yeah, I can imagine how people staying off-site simply can never be able to compete for those really hard-to-get dining reservations! :-)El Ratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411991790452023920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732572613671607599.post-51629456254681446172009-07-16T14:47:19.129-07:002009-07-16T14:47:19.129-07:00Good Question.

Here is the best way to describe it: As a resort guest, if you have a 10 day vacation planned, once you get within 90 days of your arrival date, you can make reservations for any day during that 10 day stay. A non-resort guest for the same length stay could only make reservations at the 90th day for 1 day. They would have to call back every day to get the next day's reservation made. That makes it difficult to get the more popular restaurants for sure.<br /><br />Here is another way to see it for the resort guest: I am checking in on the 1st of October and I am 90 days out now. I can make reservations for a date range up to the 10th if I am staying 10 days. A non resort guest can only make reservations for the 1st of October in that same example.<br /><br />I hope that helps.Bryan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413732932600996151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732572613671607599.post-71134146090695141502009-07-16T14:30:50.029-07:002009-07-16T14:30:50.029-07:00Thanks for the thorough pros-and-cons analysis of ...Thanks for the thorough pros-and-cons analysis of staying on-site or off-site. I had a question about something you said:<br /><br /><i>"Resort guests can make an advance dinner reservation up to 10 days out from their scheduled arrival day at 90 days out"</i><br /><br />I must confess, that statement confused me! Are you saying that resort guests can make dining reservations MORE THAN 90 days out of their scheduled arrival, or that ONLY resort guests can make dining reservations 90 days out from their scheduled arrival? Maybe you can give us a concrete example?<br /><br />Thanks!El Ratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411991790452023920noreply@blogger.com
