I really wish they had never changed it to 180 days. It really is a pain trying to figure out what date is 180 days from the day you check in, deciding 6 months in advance where you want to eat, then calling that morning to actually get ADRs for halfway decent times. I book for a group of 11, so it's really tough for me to get everyone on the same page.

It doesn't help that I'm convinced that there is abuse of the system. This year, I couldn't get ADRs at all for a number of restaurants during value season when I called a week into the 180 day window. How it's possible that restaurants are booked solid after a week is beyond me. Hopefully with the change back to 90 days they can also do something about the abuse.
