'Ohana- still really popular??

[Ginamarie]

DH and I called this morning as it was the first day of our 90 day window. We were able to get all of the ADRs we wanted, although not necessarily the times we wanted. Overall, I was happy with the outcome, BUT, very surprised that the toughest ADR to get was dinner at O'Hana. I know it gets pretty mixed reviews around here, but DH and I still enjoy it and decided to include it on our Spring trip. We were only given an option of 5 pm or 9 pm! We took the earlier slot.

Otherwise, these are our ADRs. I can't wait!

I'm glad you were able to at least grab one. It would work better for us to have this in the beginning of our trip but the time we eat is more important to us than the day we eat so I have to put it further back in our trip for a 90+ day

Hoping Ohana is as good as I remember it, even with changes.

Last year some of the top ones for us were Les Chefs de France and Coral Reef, both which often get bad reviews here where in contrast the bottom two were Jiko and Le Cellier which are both highly praised here.

We had dinner there last night, and the place was packed all the way up until 10:30 when we left...

Ohana always seems to be packed, and getting an ADR has always been difficult.

Ohanas is always hard to get. It is so much fun.

Your ADRs are making me hungry!!!!

Did something change? I thought you could make reservations at 180 days away from your trip. Thanks in advance!

 

[MoSoccerMom]

Sorry! I see at the top of the dining section that is has changed to 90 days!

I am Irish. 'Ohana is not. Thus the placement of the apostrophe is important.

They switched to a new ADR system, and during the switch it was desired to keep the ADR timeframe at 90 days for the foreseeable future.

We went to Ohana last Friday and our waitress told us that Ohana is the busiest restaurant in WDW doing 1200-1400 reservations a day in high season and 800 a day while we were there (January).

Just a newbie question :O).. do you have a dining plan? If so, which one? We would also like to do two table service meals a day on some days and I wasn't sure exactly how to go about doing that, or which plan would be the best for us.

I called today and got 'Ohana for Thursday night, 4/30 at 8:05pm. We wanted 8, but I think we can deal with the extra 5 minutes! Bummer to hear that Tuesday night is so busy for you guys.

August 2008, we got a much later ADR than we wanted, but it worked out great. Not only was the food totally on, but our table also had a great view of the MK fireworks.

It's an 'okina, not an apostrophe.

I'm not on a dining plan for this trip. DH is a cast member, so we're just going to use his discount.

As someone else posted, you can get good ideas about the dining plan on the forum devoted to it, but as a quick answer, if you're wanting to do a LOT of table service meals, you might want to look into the deluxe dining plan. If it's just a couple of days you want to double up on table service meals, you can just plan two table service meals on one day and then skip table service altogether on other days (just use your counter service credits then).
