Lisa is this for THIS year?
If so, you're going to have a hard time finding dinner at 'Ohana at ANY time. I'd see what's available and go from there.
I like to do 'Ohana 1-3 hours before Wishes so I can either watch from the restaurant or from the Poly beach after dinner.

Also a 6pm dinner at H&V and an 8pm Fantasmic! is cutting it close. you're going to have to BOOK IT and probably won't get great seats (unless it's a fantasmic package).

Re: what time should i do ohana? itinerary enclosed!
go right ahead!! keep in mind i scheduled MK on days that were not extended magic hours. Jennifer gave me that tip and i've seen it a few times on other boards. Each day , one of the parks will have extended hours and that park tends to be the most crowded.

Re: what time should i do ohana? itinerary enclosed!
thanks!!!!!
it just stinks that i have one last dinner reservation to make on our last night there and i cant find anything good.
i guess i didnt make any reservations b.c i didnt know what we wanted to do that night after AK.
i am pretty sure since MK is open till 12am, we will prob want to go visit it one last time. makes sense to eat somewhere at MK or one of the resorts nearby.
i guess i will just have to keep calling to check on cancellations...

Don't give up - persistence does often pay off. We have moved around things and gotten popular places in the past - but your best bet is at the 180 day mark. But I find that if I call everyday or check the computer every day - even call when down there - sometimes something will open up. I think more things are opening up last minute with the new credit card guarantee deal. Now it seems that they release the calendar at the 6 month mark which makes it easier - there was a time they didn't have the calendar up that early and would have to make ADRs blind. I try to guess what nights I want to do something and then play around with those plans by what I can and can't get.

How about Boma?
Animal Kingdom Lodge is so beautiful so it's a gretplce to be and Boma has awesome food.
I should add that I have gotten a walk in at 'Ohana. If you want a table you literally have to stand in a line. When we got there, there were 5 or 6 groups head of us, but none we were willing to actually stand behind the partition and wait. Since we were, we got a table after about half an hour.

What about Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge? You'll already be there, it's a fun end-of-trip venue, and it'll give you time to pack as well.
