Lilo lied. Ohana doesn't mean family. It means bring your fat pants.

The picture with Cinderella helps add to the value but if you've got the memory maker, it doesn't do much else. I liked it for sure and my daughter loved it.

How about Ohana?


Fun...good, no great food. I think food is better at Kona Cafe or over at the Wildnerness Lodge, but Ohana is fun. You can walk on out to the beach near the bungalows for a cool view of Wishes too after dinner. The bread pudding is awesome!

Is there anywhere I need to stop this time for quick service that I've never been?


Fruit and Nutella Waffle Sandwich from Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom




The Cronut from the Refreshment Port in Epcot (with or without ice cream)




The Ice Cream Sandwich on Brioche from Artisian des Glaces in France(Epcot)





PB&J Milkshake from the Tune in Lounge in Hollywood Studios







Also, I think Tangierene Cafe in Morocco is the best Quick Service in any park (Wolfgang Puck Express is my favorite at WDW)

The Harambe Market is new-ish in Animal Kingdom. We ate there a few months ago and it was delicious. There's 4 or 5 different quick service places in one little area. I had the chicken skewers and my wife had the beef kabob flatbread. The kids split some spiced ribs and a curried corn battered corn dog. Everything was delicious.

I've done Crystal Palace for breakfast. It was decent. Nothing spectacular, but it was breakfast so I wasn't expecting to be blown away. 1900 Park Fare was a nice light lunch spot. Haven't done any of the others.

Via Napoli

Tony's is good, but just your everyday, run-of-the-mill Italian, IMO. BUT, for it being in the MK it's one of the better options. I've only done Be Our Guest for lunch and wasn't impressed. LOVED Biergarten. Great food and unique entertainment. Just don't go and order a Bud Light in there like my wife's cousin's husband did. Via Napoli is FANTASTIC. Quatro Formaggio pizza is awesome. Really any of the pizzas there are spectacular. Desserts are also really good.


Ohana is EASILY one of my favorite places....just a pain in the arse to get a reservation a lot of the time. Not a character meal as far as I can remember (unless they do character breakfast) but it's still very kid/family oriented. All you can eat, so wear your stretchy pants. If you're going for dinner, try to time your reservation around the MK fireworks. They'll dim the lights and turn on the Wishes soundtrack and you can watch the fireworks display from across the Seven Seas Lagoon.

If I wasn't worried about becoming a fatty, I could eat about a dozen of those damn cronuts....

The stand is right outside Canada in Epcot...

While I think character meals are a good use of dining credits on the DDP, I don't think using them on breakfast is the best option.

First, mornings are some of the best hours of the park with fewest crowds...don't spend them slamming eggs down your throat. For the money, you'll get better return for your money on lunches and dinners and if you do wake up early, be one of the first people in the parks. Some people are big advocates on the pre-opening 8 am ADRs and as long as you eat fast it can work but still taking some chances.

I usually advise sitting for the character meal during lunch or early evening when you're ready for a break and to get off your feet and either sleep in and relax in the morning or hit the parks like you're on a mission.

I literally got the "meat sweats" eating at Ohana... I think I had a protein overload... Made me sick as shite...

Definitely not vegetarian friendly...

Ohana is fantastic. If you like Texas de Brazil you will like Ohana. They also have stuff for the kids to do. Whispering Canyon is also good.

I have done Cinderella's castle twice. Once for breakfast, once for dinner. Aside from seeing princesses it is not worth it.

I like the pre-opening ADRs, gives you a nice experience inside the park with hardly anyone else in there. But, if you're trying to go storm trooper on the place and hit as many rides as possible, you're chancing missing some of the best ride time just after park opening....I agree with that.

We were at disney two weeks ago. Pecos Bills just changed their menu to texmex. No idea how good it is.

Rainforest Cafe at Animal Kingdom is good. Expensive, but good. Cool place.

Dinosaur! at Downtown Disney is also very cool for the kids.

Both those last two will cost you around 100 for a family of 4.

Completely worth it! Really cool experience. We were in the castle during Wishes and it was really cool to see the fireworks through the big windows inside the castle. See if you can arrange a late reservation during the show.

Also! Go to 50s. Great food and such a cool experience.

T-Rex Cafe is good too, created and run by the same people that do Rainforest.
