[AustinWells]

Cant find a ressie for ohana in nov, nov 19th to be exact. was hoping for around 6 or 6:30 for 2 and dont understand why its only showing 9:30 available? helpppp????

Its almost as hard to get as BOG. When I did mine for September I had to go 7 days into my trip to get a 5:00 ADR. Crazy...

It's ridiculous honestly. I was online at 6am on the nose when my 180 day window opened and the only ressies available were for 9:40pm! I'm going the same week as you and couldn't get anything. My only advice is to keep trying periodically. There are always cancellations.

'Ohana is really hard to get for dinner if you want to eat before 9. We are spending a few days in Disney before our November cruise and wanted to eat there. 180 days out I was able to get an 8 pm time for a party of 7 and was pretty happy with that. I happened to check again about a half an hour later and got a 5:05. So people do cancel all the time. Just keep checking!

Yep I think it is the free dining frenzy that is eating up all the ADR for places like Ohana.

I agree to keep checking and also watch the November cxl thread for your date.

People will start letting some of the times go eventually.

I tried booking at 180 out and the system was not working properly and I was so aggrevated..I could see the time I wanted and then when I selected the time it would go right back to the schedule..

I finally called that morning and got an ADR for 5:05pm at Ohana which I was thrilled with since we have an early MK day on the next morning.
On the system it only showed 8pm and after. So calling also is a good idea sometimes.

Good luck and don't give up!!!

Same thing happened to me. Ohana didn't have any openings except 9:30. I was online at the 180 day, 5am. Nothing...I have never had a problem making a reservation for Ohana at the 180 day mark. I called and nothing was available...really!??

Yep. On at 5 AM Central time, and all 'Ohana had for dinner on the 21st for our group of 6 was 9:45. No thanks. But I was able to get an 8 PM later in my vacation. That is the trick: Schedule all the crazy popular restaurants at the end of your trip for more flexible reservation times.

Same thing happening here. I've never had an issue with it as long as I am 180 out. 9:35 pm is way to late especially since by then they are usually running late. ARGH!

Just finished my reservation. Wednesday November 26 at 7:30. No problem at all.

I think something odd is going on with certain dates. Ohana is available for July right now but not Nov....

Good tip!!!

Definitely keep trying! I scheduled a 6:30 at 'Ohana late in my November trip then managed to get the dessert party that same night. Within a couple of days of checking, was able to move my 'Ohana back to 5:25 (so we can really be hungry for all the yummies!!). People really do change plans all the time, especially at 45 days out when the cancellations for the trip are due and then again shortly before the trip as all their plans firm up. That's why July has so many openings, so don't get discouraged yet!

 

[AustinWells]

Thanks for all the help guys! Ill keep trying and see

I was able to book Ohana today at my 180 day mark for a 5pm dinner! So happy!!
