    Hello! How close do you physically have to be to a restaurant to join the virtual walk up list? For example, do I have to be physically at the Polynesian resort to get on the waitlist for Ohana? Just asking what the range is! Thank you!

    Ma chère Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you to planDisney. Thanks so much for choosing to be our Guest, Molly. Not long now until your trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth. There's so much to see and do – and eat! – at the 50th Anniversary Celebration. I can imagine you're singing "I'm Almost There!" with each passing day!

    I don't know about you, but I share the sentiments of my pal, Remy – "If you are what you eat, then I only want to eat the good stuff." A meal at 'Ohana certainly meets that criteria. I could sure go for that Wood-fire Grilled Teriyaki Beef right about now! 

    One of the fantastic features of the My Disney Experience Mobile App is the ability to make walk-up dining reservations at select restaurants. In answer to your question, you do need to be physically close to the restaurant that you'd like to eat at to use this feature. The exact range is not specified. However, you're certainly going to want to go Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

    Here's how you use this feature: Open your My Disney Experience app, click on "Check Dining Availability," select the size of your party, then select the date, then select "Now" under "Search by Time." Once you do that, you should be able to view the estimated wait time for 'Ohana. Once you are added to the standby list, you'll be notified when your table is ready. 

    In the meantime, feel free to enjoy the relaxing South Pacific vibe of the Resort. I personally love going outside, taking my flip-flops off, feeling the sand between my toes, and gazing at the Seven Seas Lagoon. Don't go too far away though, as the restaurant will only hold your reservation for a limited time.

    I hope that's helpful, Molly. 

    ChEARS!
