There's always someone who said they were able to walk up and be seated without a reservation, but I wouldn't count on it, especially with a group of 10. 'Ohana is one of the most popular restaurants in DW, fully booked most of the time and even those with reservations have had to wait 30 - 45 minutes to be seated because it frequently runs behind schedule. Under these circumstances there's virtually no likelihood you'll be seated.
I've been able to land a table as a walk-up, but never with more than a party of two. With a large group, even I have to admit you have almost no chance of success. Your best bet would be to use the Touring Plans reservation finder tool and hope a table opens up. You'd be surprised how often people cancel -- it's just a matter of jumping in quickly to snatch it up! Good luck!
yea, I'm checking multiple times a day to see if it comes available. got whispering canyon already booked as a backup. I asked because while I have been to Disney 70+ times over my lifetime, I never really went to Ohana until recently so I am still learning the tricks and tips involved with that restaurant.
Just because it isn't a common thing, doesn't mean it isn't doable. Like I said, I have had plenty of success doing it at some of the toughest restaurants in the resort. You just have to know when/what to do. I knew Ohana was a long shot, but I figured I'd ask. Just because I am new to this website doesn't mean I am new to Disney. Pretty surprised at how offended some people are over a simple question. I didn't want to risk a walkup with such a large group, so I asked. Clearly people haven't had much or any luck so I won't bother.
got it set up. Not expecting to get lucky, but it could happen. thanks for the tip
With a group of 10?
I have gotten lunch at some places with large groups but never tried dinner. That's why I asked. Like I said, I don't know much about Ohana so I asked if there was a down time. It seems that it is always packed from open to close, so we won't even try.
even with a ressie and a group of 14 we had a 30 minute wait at Ohana. and from what I know that is a pretty standard wait
That's stretching it a bit. Many people report a wait to be seated at 'Ohana -but a wait of over an hour? There are also many posters like me who have never waited longer than 10 minutes except for once, and that wait was 30 minutes.
