Keep trying for your reservation... it pays off.

[M&E]

I've been trying every day (sometimes multiple times a day) to snag a reservation for 'Ohana at the end of August. I just got one for the PERFECT time for us. Woo Hoo! I'm so excited. I couldn't believe it when it popped up on the screen.

Thanks for the inspiration! I am looking for an earlier Akershus in August and I check several times daily but still nothing. You give me motivation to keep trying!

That is what I tell everyone....the key to getting what you want is to be persistent. Congrats on getting what you want

Yep, after checking obsessively multiple times a day, and seeing "no times were available" it is a shock when suddenly there is a time!

I tried for 'Ohana for a short time, could only get really late times, then decided Garden Grill's menu was safer for my picky family. That was no easier than 'Ohana! After 10 days a time showed up. Glad you got what you wanted!

I agree! I had great luck last year & I may be in the same boat this year. We have all of our ADR's done but now my sister & her family may be joining us. So I may have to start all over again .......

AGREED! Congrats on getting your ADR. I somehow snagged a Le Cellier lunch on May 21 @ 1 last week so it can be done! Keep checking and trying, guys!

many of them will pop up around 45 days out or 45 + 10 days out so check a lot around then.

I just got Fantasmic for the five of us for the week after Memorial Day. Now just Chef Mickey, Ohana and Le Cellier to go. =D

That's great - congrats!

I'm trying for Biergarten in October! (Didn't realize it was Oktoberfest)....At least I have plenty of days to keep being persistent!

 

[StalkerX]

Congrats!

Been there and done that myself, to the point that I was scaring myself I would check so much. I had almost given up, until that one magical afternoon I clicked and bang, available! It was only 3 weeks out!

Anything can happen!

Oh, it was Dinner at Le Cellier!

I am 2 weeks out for our trip and have been checking twice a day for a Crystal Palace breakfast and Ohana dinner...both came up yesterday and like you, at the PERFECT time! Keep trying everyone!!

I did same thing last year for our Sept trip. We only decided to go two months before and with free dining, it was definitely hard. However, after while I got LeCellier dinner, Mama Melrose Fan Pk, Crystal Place before park opening, Tusker House before park opening and Ohana dinner.
My experience is that about a month before, there are a lot more adrs popping up, since people tend to finalize their over booked adrs.

However, I'm very glad to say that this year, we planned ahead and did our adr 180+, It was definitely easier!

So true, in the past week I have gotten Ohana's, Garden Grill, 1900 Park Fare and Le Cellier dinner. Of course, I have been checking online like a lunatic Leaving in 2 weeks...
