Our trip is June 2-8 and we're staying at the Polynesian. Sadly, we booked too late, and 49 days out, I can't get a reservation!:( I have been trying daily to see if anyone has "canceled". No luck yet. I will keep trying, and if not hopefully we can "sneak in" on a list at the last minute at check-in or something. Any thoughts?:in pain:

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
'Ohana is one that often books solid right around the 180 day mark. But keep trying as we have gotten a reservation for dinner there a day or 2 prior to our desired night we wanted. We always book it right at 180 now to make sure we get one. :)

Just keep trying! Fingers crossed that something will open up for you! Also if you don't get it before you arrive keep checking with concierge while you are there. I was told at AKL that some reservations are kept open for hotel guests. They were able to book Jiko for us the day before and I had been trying for weeks. I have no idea what the real policy is but it's worth a shot.

Yes, just keep trying, and check again at check-in, and again 1-2 days before you'd like to dine there (when people who want to cancel at the last minute will be trying to do it before the "no-show" fee kicks in, 24 hours ahead of their reservation).

I have been dealing with kinda the Same issues with The Royal Table At MK. We do have a reso at 8:05p but I was overzealous and wanting to make sure we got a table at the 180 day mark so I booked the first one I saw and now I'm trying to move it up an hour so we are not rushed and it's literally impossible to move bc they are booked solid

I would highly recommend the ADR RES FINDER from touring plans. I just discovered it a week ago. You enter the location you are looking to book and an a time and date and they will literally search continuously around the clock and notify you by text and email when a match has been found, and they even provide a quick link to Disney Dining to secure the ADR. I just used this free service for an Ohana, Crystal Palace before park open and a California Grill all within 9 days of our upcoming trip ( April 22nd-30) . We have done Ohana each year and Crystal Palace too. I wanted to change things up and try new places (Boma, 1900 Park Fare) when the family heard I passed on Crystal Palace and Ohana they were like WHAT?? We love those places.. It's tradition, blah blah blah..... so if I wanted a happy family for this trip, I better find me some ADR's for those places... I literally tried daily from 100 days out til 9 days to go....NO LUCK!! I heard about this RES FINDER from touringplans figured it wouldn't hurt... and Viola!!! I got everything I searched for within 48 hours of entering the info. It was awesome !!!

You'll get one! I got both BOG and CRT less than 30 days out. Keep trying.

You all are not going to believe this! I am shocked myself!:eek: I snagged a ressie for 'Ohana on our first night there at 9:30 pm. We had done it before that late, and were able to watch Wishes!:D My husband is very pleased now!:inlove:

Yay!! That's our fave time to eat there on our first night being we get in late in the afternoon! Always make a ressie for 9pm or later. :)
