Meaning that you couldn't get in so picked your 2nd choice but then kept checking back and got what you wanted?

I made ours this morning and couldn't get 2 places we wanted. I'm a little disappointed and want to keep trying back but am not even sure that they would have more openings as things open up.

This is our 2nd trip and I have to say the whole ADR thing is the one thing I get disappointed in! It stinks to plan this great trip and not get to eat where you want!! :sad2:
 
Definitely keep trying ... I was able to move ADR times, cancel, and replace on-line through our 60-day mark. Granted, we're going in mid-October and there are only two of us, but I've not had any trouble getting what I wanted within about 15 minutes of my preferred times.
 
I check constantly. Probably 8 times a day, if not more. YES--Ppl cancel all the time. I've scored my most wanted at the 60 day mark a few others at 45 day mark, and 1 last night. I leave in a week.

Check as much as you can. You might get lucky

Plus check off times (instead of 6pm...try 6:15) plus move the amount of ppl up one (4 intead of 3) the system often kicks up one with a minor change.

Don't give up! I couldn't get Ohana for any night of our trip. Yesterday (45 day point), I checked with a five day search and there was an ADR available for the best night possible and at a great time. :) People do cancel.

Yes, do make a backup ADR for now, and when you get what you really want then you can cancel the backup.

ETA: I was only checking about once a day, so either I got extremely lucky or ADRs really do open up all the time (this is my vote). Good Luck!
 

I wanted Chef Mickeys for Thanksgiving and couldnt get it so I booked Liberty Tree Tavern and a few days later called and got Mickey's so I canceled LTT and probably made someone elses day by doing so. Good Luck and happy hunting lol
 
Thank you guys!! I will definitely keep trying then!! Ohana dinner was one that we missed out on last trip and this time and I really want it!! LOL
