Had to reschedule trip and now I can't get CRT or Ohana :(

[ChicagoJ]

I had the best dining itinerary set for our march trip but we had to bump the trip to april now and dining is all booked up. I really only want CRT and Ohana (we're staying at poly) and can't get either. If we can only get CRT I'll be happy. what are the chances i'll snag something and any tips?

Go to Touring plans and sign up for the reservation finder (requires an account I think, but the free one). I don't know about CRT, but you should be able to get Ohana, though maybe not until a couple of days before the reservation.

I’m somewhat in the same boat (we switched to onsite & completely changed all of our plans) and the Touring Plans reservation finder was recommended to me as well. I’ve used it before and it does work! This time I put in requests for the week, instead of the one day I’m hoping for, just in case that day never opens up. I’d rather have something than nothing! I will say, when you get the alert on your phone, you need to click the link right away or you might miss it! Also, if you do miss it, make sure you go back to TP and restart the search again.

Good luck!

Keep your fingers crossed and keep trying. With so many peole gaming the system and booking multiple restaurants while they make up their minds on what park to attend there will always be openings and I also recommend touring plans. Good Luck

I agree about the reservation finder on Touring Plans. I used it to find the time for BOG that I wanted when it wasn't available at 180 days. I've been able to find the time & day I wanted by using it. I'm not sure about CRT & Ohana but definitely worth trying.

I am optimistic that you will get Ohana. I used the TP reservation finder through multiple time adjustments and a recent party increase (from 3 to 6!), and I was successful. Good luck on getting what you need!

When will you be there. I have an ohana that i will be likely be cancelling for 4/20 -- Its and early reservation, but if not during the time you are there -- keep trying and stalking even once you are there. People have to cancel at least the day before so you may be surprised what might open up a few days ahead

We will have to coordinate me canceling and you being on to book. It is a 4:10 dinner but not a bad time for a break from the parks. Send me a PM what time either tonight or tomorrow would work for you. I hope it works!

Thank you so much!! Can you do 8 pm CST tonight? I'm flexible so let me know what works best for you.

Perfect!!! I'm setting a reminder on my phone. You'll have to let me know if it works -- fingers crossed!

One hint with 'Ohana - if you're looking for an odd number try bumping it to the even number above (like 4 rather than 3 or 6 rather than 5) because their system doesn't like odd numbered parties. It's a known (for a while, but as yet unfixed) glitch.

Ok great! Thank you!!

I'm really hoping that you were able to book something. I did end up canceling my ADR. Having never been to Ohana - this is probably one of the meals we are most looking forward to on our April trip.

If it didn't work out tonight - definitely do the touring plans dining reservation finder and just keep stalking! I was able to plan a NYE trip 2 months out and managed to get quite a few good reservations just by stalking (obsessively stalking) the reservations.

Certainly doesn’t hurt to check, but we didn’t have any trouble with reservations for 5.
