Been tring for Ohanna ADR for 2 months now,something happening?

[postmanrings]

Wanted to make reservations for 7 for Dec 11 and started in July. It shows NOTHING! Any thoughts on that or have heard anything? I've been doing this many years, and have never had this problem!
Thanks

well, if it makes you feel any better, I've been trying since May for an Ohana breakfast reservation on Nov. 12 or 13 for 6 and I haven't found anything either. I had Dining Buddy working on it (before they were put out of business) and only received one notification in 4 months. Someone else grabbed it before I could. Seems like they're just not opening up this year.

Edited to add: We're going during Free Dining which I think explains my issue. Not sure that's causing yours.

Try looking for3 or 4 too

I'm looking too. It's not just you.

I have been wondering this too. Ive never had an issue getting Ohana breakfast and I have been looking solid for months now and nothing! It makes me wonder about all these dining sites are they creating an artificial demand? Something is definitely up.

 

[hollannc]

Same here. I definitely think it's hard during fm free dining and when you have more than 4 in your party. We have 5 and can't get Ohana at all that week.

I only have 2 in my party. I have been looking for 3 months now and nothing.

I havent been able to get it since 180 days after relentless searching, but tried Touring Plans' new ADR finder and since noon yesterday got 4 texts with openings, the final one at 5pm on the day I wanted! They are out there!

Don't give up hope - check late at night a day or two before your desired date. Many people seem to cancel at the 11 pm hour the day before after deciding to change plans, etc. I've gotten Ohana several times that way.

Do you mean the site on here with people canceling ADR's or some other site? I read somewhere that there are sites out there grabbing up spots then selling them to people. Disney said they have no knowledge of that,but who knows.

I know many were shut down, but TP's is new and in beta testing. It's a free service if you're registered there, so it sounds like they are not violating anything with Disney? And they don't reserve anything for you, just notify you when what you've searched for opens up, then link you to the reservation page where you log in and make the reservation.

Thanks for this thread! I am going to try the TP's ADR finder!

This is our fourth trip to Disney in the last five years, and this is the only time I have felt like getting ADR's is impossible. We've always traveled on fairly short notice (30-90 days of planning), but even with me making reservations at those later dates, it's never been that big of an issue. We have always traveled when free dining was offered, so that's not it. In the past, sure, we couldn't get the best times or the most convenient dates for us, but we worked around it. This year I have just not been able to get anything, until suddenly last night I was able to get Cape May Cafe breakfast and a Fantasmic dinner package. I also saw Chef Mickey's open up, but I didn't book it since it wasn't on a good date for us. It was snatched up immediately by someone else.

I'm absolutely sure that the reservation scrapers have greatly affected this situation. Nothing else has changed that much in the past five years.

Maybe I missed it, but what is the website of Touring Plans?

I've been obsessively looking for 'Ohana for a party of 4 for late Nov/Dec. I finally saw a 9pm ADR for one of our dates open late last night. It's kinda late but I knew it would be gone if I pondered eating that late too long!

 

[drquest]

I've been looking for over 2 months for a late November trip. I was was able to get a semi late dinner fairly early in my search, but have continued looking for an earlier time, but haven't seen any other dates show up and I'm looking quite regularly.

It's a popular place, I know, but I have to think those ADR scraping sites had to have a lot of impact on this as well.

 

[DemonLlama]

Right at 180 exactly one opening for 5 at 9:40 at night, 20 minutes before close. Have checked multiple times daily in the hopes anything earlier might appear and have never seen a single table available on our night at any time.

I almost didn't nab it it was so late, but we're now just grateful we did.

 

[Alexsandra]

Keep checking everyday. I always manage to get ADR that are booked up for months one or two weeks out before my trips. I make it a routine like brushing my teeth, just check every morning and night and something will free up. There are people canceling ADR all the time. Don't get discourage!

'Ohana is a tough one to get!! Good luck!

Can you tell me about the touring plans ADR finder? I was looking for it today and it seems unavailable? Or maybe I'm not looking at it right? I very much need to find a working ADR finder, also for 'Ohana.
