Can't get an ADR for Le Cellier or Ohana's

[Kimf]

I know many have the same problem. We are going in just under 2 months now and I keep checking daily, but can't seem to get into either of them for the dates that work (dates we will be at Epcot or MK). I know the reservations sometimes change... are there any tips I can trip to get a table at one or both? Would I have better luck calling Disney to make the reservations or online only?

We really have our heart set on them and I am not overly excited about our back-up options (Teppan and Kona).

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

We booked about two months out, and have an ADR to LC. Beyond calling and checking online more than once a day, I'd suggest more flexibility. Most of my other ADRs had openings other days, so I just moved an Epcot day to accommodate the ADR.

I wish you the best with getting what you are looking for. I am not sure if you have ever been to Teppan or Kona but rest assured these are very good back ups.

Keep checking several times a day - I was able to get one to LeCellier about a week before we left for our trip. Don't give up - just keep checking!

Keep checking, in the last week I have gotten 5 Le Cellier reservations ( I cancel one when a better time becomes available so I am not hogging the ressies) people cancel all the time. I now have the exact day and time that I wanted. I am sure I was lucky as I also have gotten 8:05 CP and some other choice reservations, these were all around the 45 day cancellation mark. Good luck and don't give up.

I would try Kona and Coral Reef!

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Definitely keep trying! I tried for MONTHS for Ohana and finally got one, like 2 days out!

What are your dates?

I cancelled an Ohana and LeCeiler just recently. I always get on my computer late at night after my little one goes to bed! Good Luck! I have been to both as well as your backups and Kona and Teppan are very good! Ohana is my absolute favorite. LeCeiler is really not worth the hype, don't get me wrong it's good but the ressies wont be flying next year when it goes up to signature! Keep trying!

We are there 11/9 - 11/13, heading home on the 14th. My husband is a bit of a picky eater and I don't think he was wild about the menu options at Kona, which is one reason I want to make a change. We are at MK that day, so thought it would be easy to get to the Polynesian for dinner, since we won't have a car.

Thanks for the encouragement - I will keep trying, daily if I can squeeze it in!

'Ohana IS a tough one! Best thing you can do is keep checking back daily or try to be a little more flexible in your time and day.

Those are tough! I have had trips where we couldn't get in even planning 6 months out. Last trip I called one morning while were there and they had an opening for that day. You never know so keep trying! Also, I don't think calling gives any advantage as I have canceled a ressie before and it showed up as available right away online.

Don't give up! Always keep checking, we were able to get Ohana's the week of our vacation, we simply called and someone had canceled! Woo Hoo... Hope that happens to you! If it doesn't, you should still be excited about Teppan and Kona, i would choose both over Le Cellier and Ohana, just a personal preference. Have a magical trip!!

keep trying!!!! I just got ohana this morning for dec 10th a prty of 6 at 530! I would also suggest trying multi times a day and first thing in the morning! I got it at 730 this morning after weeks of trying! Dont give up!

 

[sazzifrazz]

OMG I could have written your exact post. We are going Dec 11-15 and my 2 most wanted are ohana and le cellier and we are very flexible! Im just going to keep trying!

 

[whitney6494]

Keep trying!!!!! just got Ohana yesterday. I check at least 5 times a day. A little obsessed

 

[staceycrouton]

I posted on the November cancellation thread this morning that I had just cancelled 'Ohana on Nov. 9th for a party of 4 for 8:30p.m. Don't know if this helps you. Keep trying! I cancelled this one because I was able to get an earlier time.

Keep trying. Final payment for an 11-9-10 arrival is due by 9-25-10. You may see openings by people who have cancelled their trip.

Good Luck!!

Be sure to subscribe to the November ADR Cancellation thread. I got a highly sought after Le Cellier dinner reservation because one of the kind members here posted her cancellation.

I got an 11/23 reservation at Ohana yesterday for 8:00 by continually checking the online ADR system. Keep checking multiple times a day. Good luck!
