Do not despair

I have been trying to get reservations to Ohana (dinner) Chef Mickeys (any) and Yak and Yeti for MONTHS. When our group went from 5-8 I lost a lot of my reservations.
BUT I am 5 days away and I just snagged ALL THREE of them for a party of 8. Apparently the closer you get to your trip the more ADR's are available.

You have given me hope! We also went from a party of 5 to a party of 8 after I'd already made my reservations. I have been trying to get a Crystal Palace dinner, a Tusker House breakfast and a Yak & Yeti lunch, all with ZERO luck.

Thank you for restoring my optimism!

How did you loose your reservations? Do you just not see them online? Because if thats the case, they are still there, the system is just being upgraded. I would have called Disney first because if you didn't cancel them, they should have still been there. You might now have a double booking.

Thanks for that glimmer of hope I am still in need of 2 ADRs, one Ohanas and one for Le Cellier.

Congrats to you!

I think what the OP was trying to say is that when her party size went from 5 to 8, there weren't times available for a party of 8 that were available for a party of 5.
