This post is part of the Disney Blog Carnival. Go check it out!

I just used the new beta online Advance Dining Reservation (ADR) system at Disneyworld.com.  I was pretty happy with my experience, but I really didn’t use the old online system.  On my 2009 trip, I had my travel agent make my ADRs, so the only time I used the old system was for my reservation [...]
