LeCellier, Ohana, and Coral Reef nearly booked - HELP!

[cw_disney_bound]

All three of the restaurants we really want to try for our April/May trip are nearly booked. Do you think they'll have openings prior to the trip? Do a lot of people hold reservations and cancel later? Do the restaurants hold some of their tables? I can't believe we can't get into any of them for a trip three months away. Any positive thoughts?

It seems Disney is going to be really busy during that time. I would take what you can get and call back frequently to keep checking. Reservations do get canceled, but it is hit or miss if there are any openings when you call.

They do not "hold" any back to for later release. Le Cellier rarely has walk up tables available.

Many people make their reservations at six months out WDW restaurants, and your choices are very popular. I'm not surprised that they're nearly booked at this point.

Keep calling, people do cancel. And continue to call once you get to WDW. I've had decent success calling for same-day reservations. You probably won't get a prime dining time, or may have to settle for a different restaurant altogether, but you should be able to find something.
