Can't Get a Sept reservation at Ohanas!! why?

[Andrew78]

I cannot get a reservation at Ohanas and I can't seem to understand why. I know it's popular, but I had no trouble with any of the other choices and I have been searching since February. I will be going the first week of September

Free dining, it's popular and is usually booked at 180 days out. Keep trying, people cancel all the time.

Ohanas is one of the most popular restaurants at WDW. And September is Free Dining, so there is even more demand for ADRs than in other months. I have no doubt than most of the ADRs have been gone since each day's 180 day window. But don't give up what faint hope may be left. There are sometimes ADRs that open up 45 days before the date you want because people have cancelled (45 days being the deadline for full payment on vacation packages). Good luck.

If youre just trying now its because it is too late after the 180 day mark. Your closing in on the 90 day mark and I think Ohana needs to be booked earlier than that, because it is so popular.

But, it will be easy to find a reservation if you follow the September Cancelled Thread. I set it up to where it sent me emails when a new post was added. Thats how I got Le Cellier, i got the email and then I booked it right away!
