It DOES work--and sometimes when you least expect it. I tried to get an 'ohana ADR when someone here was canceling and I missed it. Just for kicks, I checked on other days during our visit and snagged a 6pm for 6 people the NEXT DAY! We booked this trip late (sept. for a T-giving week visit) and so far, I have 'Ohana, Chef Mickey. WC, CP, pre-RD Tusker House breakfast, and TRex all lined up. I have something booked for Thanksgiving night, but am hoping to maybe snag something a little more special that what I have. PERSISTENCE PAYS!
