Anyone think there's any chance an opening will come up for the first week of November for dinner? Been looking and so far the whole week is already booked for dinner. Should I keep trying, or just give up and go somewhere else? Not sure what I want to do.

Keep trying, it's early yet and it's quite possible a cancellation will occur between now and then. I would reserve something else in the meantime that you will enjoy to ensure you don't miss out altogether; you can always cancel it if Ohana opens up.
Thanks. There is only 2 of us, so I'll keep trying, and also try to pick a second choice. I wish I could have booked 180 days in advance, but it just wasn't possible this trip. Kona will be fine, I enjoy the meal there too. The Polynesian has special memories for me (was the first hotel I stayed at on my first trip to Disney) And to be honest, it was because of a cancellation that we got to stay there lol. 30th anniversary of that first trip this year. So have to make a special dinner of it.

Make another reservation somewhere else. But keep trying, because there is a good chance you will get Ohanas, especially within the last two weeks. And with the new credit card rules, chances increase during the week you are there, just remember to cancel your reservation as well.

I'm there the same time frame, and Ohana's books up quickly. I would ask the Concierge Desk at your resort to check for availability every day. You never know, something could possibly open up. Best of luck!

If you don't mind eating early, you could arrive at the 'Ohana check-in desk around 4:45 p.m. (opens at 5 p.m.) and ask if they can accommodate a walk-in party of 2. We have done this with a party of 4 on a booked-solid night and were able to be seated immediately.

Wow! Booked already for November? Yikes!
Did you call or use online system?
I'd book a 2nd choice and then try again later. Good luck!

You have to check multiple times a day. I was able to secure a ressie for July 6th and was told when I called it would be next to impossible. Then suddenly I looked online a few days ago and got a 855 seating.

Its worth it to keep trying. It took us a week, but we eventually got in at Ohana. We called as soon as we could when our window came up and everything we wanted was booked. We kept trying everyday and got everything we wanted except be our guest, it took a week of calls but eventually we got in. Not the exact times we wanted but good enough. Good luck.

You have the best chance of getting in using the phone and closer to your travel dates. Even 24 hours from the time you want to dine. They do have cancellations. I have walked up to the podium and gotten in even though they were booked due to no shows. Party of 3, yes that's me!

We will be at WDW week of November 11th for birthdays celebrations and Ohana all booked up
. I would keep checking back to see if there is a cancelation; and yes I agree with everyone else book a back up reservation, good luck!! Made reservations at Kona so at least i'll make it to the Polynesian for a dinner even if it's not Ohana. But I keep trying.
