We're heading down in 10 days and, despite trying almost everyday for months, I cannot get a table for 6 at Via Napoli. I booked my original reservation at 180 days for 4 ppl, but when I tried again a few weeks later for 6, nothing. Kind of disappointing since Via Napoli is one of our must-dos.

So that had me thinking, what's the one ressie that's not happening for you?
 
O'hana. Been trying since our 180 opened up in May but cannot seem to get anything for our party of 8.
 
O'hana for me, too. We're trying for dinner on 9/7. I signed up for the Touring Plans reservation finder, and a couple days later got a text saying they had a 7:20pm reservation. PERFECT! By the time I got online, it was gone and haven't seen another opening since. :sad1:
 
Via Napoli is the one we can't get either!!! We've had luck past trips getting one last minute but I've been checking daily for two months with no luck.
 

BOG for 6 people, lunch or dinner, November 26th, November 27th, November 30th, or December 6th :) or December 3rd dinner for 2 :)
 
BOG dinner for 7. I've been trying for 120 days lol. We were lucky to get a Via Napoli for 7!
 
Hoop Dee Doo 6:15 reservation for 3. Been trying since 180+ 10 and 6"15 has not been bookable for months. 4 is and 8:30 is, just not 6:15
 
My boys have been dying to eat at T-Rex and BOG. Can't find anything the last week of August.:mad:
 
Only 2 of us and I have always gotten everything we want. Guess I am lucky.....we do tend to go off season

Try calling T-Rex. They take phone reservations in addition to the reservations through the Disney website. I have been able to get them over the phone when none showed up online.

Have you tried getting a table for 2 close to your res time for the 4? That might be easier.

I think you have to tell the touring plans thing to start checking again! Did you do that? It might have stopped looking.
 
A 1900 park fare dinner for Dec. 11... I booked one for 12/10 but switched our plans. Was able to figure everything out but that one. I am thinking I will get one as it gets closer. Other trips we have always gotten all the ones we want.
 
Be Our Guest- been trying since 180 days out for our week after Thanksgiving trip for our family of four.

The only available time that has ever shown up for BOG was late dinner times during Christmas Party nights (useless for us). Can't even get lunch, but would prefer to do dinner. Hopefully some times pop up 60 days out when the fast passes can start being booked and people change dinner plans.
 
Minnie's Seasonal Dinner at Hollywood and Vine. I totally forgot that it even existed when I made my ADR at the 180 mark and when I remembered of course there was not one ADR available for any night of our trip. That was the one, I was looking forward to the most too!

I don't think many people change ADRs around FP+, I think most people plan their FP+ around their ADRs. I think you will hopefully have better luck around the time when the 30 day trip payment in full deadline hits. Good luck!
 
I've been tremendously fortunate in booking reservations—never had a problem and we go down there for Christmas.

I would just say keep trying. Even during your trip.

We had a family join us two years ago. They booked their trip late (around October.) They tried to get the same or similar ADRs as us. They lucked out on a few, but couldn't get the same time or restaurant at a few (Narcoossee's, Coral Reef, etc.) We did have an ADR at 50's Prime Time while they were set to dine at Hollywood & Vines. The mom brought the iPad and happened to find an ADR the day before our ADR. So... just keep searching, just keep searching!
 
I keep trying to change a late breakfast at 1900 Park Fare to either the day before or the day after to no avail.
 
Ohana was tough to get. We got it one time ( 2 separate reservations at the same time )! After that, it was difficult. We got a 9ish pm ressie and it was a nightmare. Ran out of food and poor service. After that, we haven't been able to get it at a decent dinner time. Wasn't meant to be.
 
I also been lucky getting ADR since it's just 2 of us and we have park hopper. Having park hopper really made it easy. I grabbed any ADRs I can and then everyday as more ADRs became available, I switched them around. Luckily I still have time for November trip and still need to change couple of them to different time but if it doesn't happen, no big deal.
