Edit: This seems like a sneaky way to find an Ohana ADR....

This seems like a sneaky way to beg for an Ohana ADR.

I don't see the OP as "begging" just asking what other people do in the same situation. She got lots of great advice and took people up on it. what a mean-spirited response!

I wasn't trying to be sneaky. I was honestly wondering if anyone ever canceled an Ohana ADR... Since they are so hard to get.

We never plan more than 2-3 weeks out, and 9 times out of 10 I've found a reservation within that time frame. Caveat: There are only 2 of us, and we don't mind late seating times, so ymmv.

No offense intended, just having a chuckle.

I have a 5:40pm dinner on Thurs, Sept 1st I am going to cancel. If anyone wants it, PM me. Now that we are paying OOP, it's not worth our family to go, would cost us over $200. Had free dining before but not going with a deluxe at a discount price.

hollydolly08, I'm experiencing the same which is why I joined this board! Not sneaky. Our family is headed back to Disney and gave up trying to get Ohana last time. This trip, we only have 3 restaurants that we want to go to and could only get 1 reservation. I'm determined to get the other 2!!!!!

Best wishes to you, I really hope you get the 2 other ADRs!! I'm really impressed with the Touring Plans reservation finder (there's a link in 1 of the comments in this thread) you should give them a try if you haven't yet.

It wasn't intended to be mean spirited at all!!
We all want those hard to get ADRS at times! I feel her frustration! Especially when you plan ahead and still get hosed over by WDW changing their hours way past 180 days out.

well that's good to know. lack of expression really can hurt the online deadpan delivery

I got an ADR for 14 on November 18th. Took about two weeks of trying after the 180 day mark. I used the app on my phone, and selected "dinner" for my time. Keep trying.

my group's plans changed, and now that we'll be at MVMCP on 11/27, i'm going to have to cancel our 'Ohana dinner that day.

...I just haven't been able to bring myself to click "cancel" yet, it was such a hard reservation to get!

 

[HatboxHaint]

I have multiple Ohana reservations, but I am holding them until WDW firms up the October hours. Maybe there are others that are uber-planners like me and then there will be random batches released after their plans get firmed up closer to 60 days out?

Hi. Do I have to pay for the TP site to use the Dining Finder?

Thank you.

 

[Chrelaine]

I think alot of ADRs get cancelled around 60 days out when people are arranging FP+ times and changing plans.

Nope!

 

[js]

Nope!

Ohhhh, that is soooo good to know! I would have thought I had to pay.
Going to do this now.
THANK YOU!

Yes, people cancel. I am going to cancel one in July pretty soon, for instance. Be sure to check the cancellation thread here on the boards for your month - you might be able to coordinate with someone. Also, my understanding is that there are a fair number of cancellations just a few days beforehand, when people start being faced with the possibility of paying the no-show fee.

I got a reservation for three people two days before in early December. I also saw this past Wed that I could have gotten a same-day reservation, but it was later in the evening. So, hang in there! I think you'll get what you want eventually.
