Question re. Making Dining Reservations When You Arrive...

[bribri330]

I have been trying for an Ohana reservation for our trip. We leave in 2 days to go to WDW. Do I have a good chance of getting an Ohana reservation once I check in? We are 13 in our party!

Definitely not. There is no advantage to getting reservations once you are there. And with 13 at 'Ohana, I would think your chances are really, really small. I would make another plan before you go.

No way to know what kind of chance you have.

I do know that WDW does not hold back reservations, so there won't be any new ones opening up after you get there unless someone cancels. The odds are not any better just because it's closer to the reservation date or because you are actually at WDW. You should still check if you really want to eat there.

For such a large party, the odds are not good at all. If you're staying at club level you should ask the concierge, not that there's really any better odds for getting 13 in but it couldn't hurt to have them checking...otherwise just keep checking yourself.

I doubt it... I tried since May for about 4 months to get a table for 4 for 'Ohana dinner on 11/29 at a reasonable time (before 7pm) and none ever came up. We settled on a nice 6:10pm at Kona and can't wait for the Terriaki steak and Kona Kone.

boo...i was hoping that wouldnt be the rsponse. i made alternative plans but have still been holding out hope....lol i of course have been trying to get it morning noon and night! its consuming my life! HA what can u do tho...i tried. With 13 people getting reservations for the good restaurants was extremely hard since it was a last minute trip

In the recent past, we have had success in booking last minute ADRs for popular venues for 2-4 people, however I think you may encounter a problem when trying to book a larger party. Certainly try, but don't be disappointed if you can't get the ressie. Good luck.

you could try splitting up the reservation yourself into 3 tables and see if that works????

looking at the date on the original posting, they have probably gone on their trip and returned home
