They're basically encouraging locals who want to get dining reservations to make hotel reservations just to get dining reservations. I think if we all made hotel reservations and then canceled them after we booked our dining, we'd get them to change their practice in short order.

I found out why: The resort guests can book their reservation up to 180 days from the FIRST day of their vacation. So say you're trying to book a dinner for April 25, 2010. People who will be checking in on April 21, who are staying on Disney property, can book 4 days ahead of you for that same date. You wouldn't think 4 days would make a huge difference, but in my case that left ONE opening at Le Cellier for the day that I wanted. Needless to say, the Disney Dining Plan already makes dining for locals difficult. This advance reservation system in addition to the standard 180 days makes it worse. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for locals to book 180 days exactly in advance, especially for dining in the castle!
