We will be down there on our honeymoon, and we've never been to Ohana. We want to eat here, then head back over the Magic Kingdom for the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party at 9.

5:40, 6:25, 6:30, 6:45, 6:50 and 7:05

My friend says go at 5:40 and if we get done earlier than expected shop around the hotel or head back to MK until show time.

I'd probably go with 630PM, that would give you time for a leisurely dinner. Honestly though, O"Hana's and the dessert party in the same night is a lot of food IMO.

That will be a lot of food. We usually do the early dinner if we plan to go out after dinner. You get to rest, use restrooms, and you don't rush and worry about delays. Enjoy which ever you pick.

Do the earliest possible so that you have a little time to digest before a dessert party. I agree that doing these on the same night will be tough. That's a lot of good food.

Definitely pick the earliest time slot available. We have spent over 2 hours at the poly for meals at Ohanas. Between waiting to be seated (which can take up to, and sometimes over 30 minutes itself), then the meal (which can also be lengthy), paying the bill, then transportation back to MK......I would give myself as much time as I could.

There's that, and the fact that it's a lot of food. I know we could never do a dessert party after a meal at Ohanas. We are always way too stuffed, and their dessert is too amazing to pass up for dessert later. Giving yourself a breather between dinner and the dessert party would be a good idea.

We have always had a huge lunch around 2pm and then considered the dessert party as dinner. :thumbsup::cloud9::party:

Another vote for 5:40. You'll want to enjoy Ohana without having to rush ... and have some time to digest before having desserts!

I'd recommend them on two different nights, but if that is not a possiblity, eat Ohana as early as possible.

There is a lot to be said for a daytime dinner at Ohana. A lot of people like plan the fireworks, but that has always been stressful for us. We had a lovely early meal on a clear day. The water was lovely and we had a great view of the castle. We didn't' feel rushed at all and service was the best.

Have a great time!

Agreed. If you do Ohana's the right way, you wont want to look at food for a while. At least eat early to make room for the dessert party...:sick:

I always opt for the earliest ADR available. Early dinners always seem more relaxed and I leave feeling refreshed and ready to return to the parks (even if it's just for fireworks.)

I can't imagine you'll have room for dessert, but definitely do the 5:40! EN-JOY, and Congratulations! :)

Take the earliest time possible! On my last trip that was also my Disneymoon we tried Ohana's for the first time. We LOVED it! So much great food... but we were so full we almost had to roll out of the Poly Lol
