What happened to Ohana?!?!?!?

[mommylovespoly]

We planned a trip with only 35 days lead time. I got absolutely everything. I got Le Cellier. I got CRT!!!

Can't get into Ohana.

What on EARTH?

This is for the last week in January. It almost seems like its some kind of weird fluke, a computer glitch or something.

That is par for the course with O'hana. It's one of the hardest restaurants to get in and 35 days out is nearly impossible even in the slow time. keep checking and you might get lucky with a cancellation.

Hmmmm...we are going about a couple weeks after you and I just booked yesterday. There were lots of O'hana times for our days.

Good luck, OP, I hope you get in! It's so good and allot of fun!

It's always been popular but now seems to be an *it* place. Kind of an inverse relationship to CRT which isn't as hard to acquire as it once was.

We were able to get a reservation last week for the 9th at Ohana's. I would keep trying, you never know when a cancellation might come up.

Have you tried checking the generic meal-time for the day you're looking? Like "breakfast" or "dinner". If you're willing to eat at "off" times, you might find things.

Don't forget Ohana's is closed for a few days in mid January (17-21st or so), so people visiting during that period are forced to make their ADRs for earlier or later, which makes more people vying for the same number of ADR spots, which could lead to it being harder to get a last minute ADR.

I think you may have just been lucky w/ Le Cellier too, as I've checked many of the dates in en of January, and have never seen any availability. CRT on the other hand seems to have lots of availability for breakfast (very limited for supper/lunch, so you may have been double lucky!)

Keep trying, and checking the cancellation thread, you never know!

Its a hard place to get into a month out. There are no opening for my dates in Jan/Feb (almost 2 weeks). I wanted to change the night I go but I am stuck now.

Keep trying everyday though. I was not happy with the late dinner ressie I had for Le Cellier and today one popped up, I have been checking almost everyday, imagine my surprise! S you never know, someone may cancel.

It's popular. I've been trying to change my Ohana time for weeks and there are NO reservations for a family of 5 for March 8 for dinner hours and 1 reservation for 6 at 7:55 PM.

 

[LovinPooh]

good luck!

Should have taken the 7:55 as it would have put you in at the perfect time for fireworks

We had ADRs for the first seating in the first week of December. Got there early and had drinks at the lounge. 15 minutes before I turned around and the line just to check-in was already down all the way past Kona to the other corner.

It's gotten VERY popular, even for an early dinner.

Le Cellier dinner should get even easier in March when it goes to two credits...

my advice is once your at wdw, in your hotel room push the dining button on the phone and do the option for people in wdw, the next 7 days...
here's my story....

we went in Sept during free dining. i made my adrs online and was able to see how there wasnt much to pick from. we made our adrs with what was available. Liberty Tree was one of the few choices so we did that since in 10 trips we never tried it. We ended up loving it sooo much that i decided to try and get an adr there later in the week. I figured odds are against me but i got it AND 5pm!!! So then i tried for Kona again since we LOVE that one as well and got it too and for the time we wanted!! -during free dining!

You could also just go there, like later in the evening when it's not so busy and get an adr as a walk up and if it's not available Kona will seat you. Kona is my favorite!!!

 

[mommylovespoly]

Well, I have been trying three or four times a day for the past week and I got it today, for the date I most wanted! Its a little earlier, but I think I can work with it.

Yay!

And, again, thanks!

Just keep checking every day..if not lucky, call when you get there...we have goteen lucky on a few occasions...I see that the characters are not at the dinner any more,,only breakfast...anyone know why?????? We just booked O'Hana for May....breakfast and dinner.

 

[Babes317]

Can you see the fireworks from Ohana? I've never been there before. So 8 would be a good time to eat there?

thanks

That would be a great time...you need a table by the window though!!!!
