    If there was a "none of the above option", I would've taken that one. I guess the best of these is Boma, but you'll have to be in an adventurous mood.

    is this from personal experience. id rather eat at TS places as i feel the food is fresher, but i have to give in some.
    looks like GG is popular, i cant find ADR for that wk. hm. maybe i will end up at Cape May since its reopened.

    Keep trying for Ohana, and can always check the day of, we have done that before and were able to get a slot due to cancellations. That's if you really want to try it.

    I'm not huge with buffets (mass produced food for the masses), so keep that in mind.

    'Ohana doesn't do it for us. Others obviously love it, however. Lots of meat.

    We love the HDDMR, but you're paying for the show. The food is fine, but nothing to get overly excited about. (That said, we're repeat visitors to the dinner-show.)

    GG and Boma are decent choices, although Boma has lost a step in the past few years, IMO.

    We do enjoy Cape May. It's one of the "calmer" character meals. Some say it lacks character (music isn't blaring, no coconut races!), but we have found it a pleasant experience. If you go for dinner, no characters. They vary the seafood choices depending on the night you go.

    yea im not as much into buffets due to the mass production. and i never did ohanas due to it being busy and coconuts..lol. WCC all u can eat didnt impress me either. depends on who i am w too, as some of the places are characters.. GG actually was decent and the characters didnt intrude long if you didnt want it. Cape May, will see how it is in 2 wks, im a little concerned w buffet seafood, but hope its good.
    I agree w Boma, didnt seem as good last time but its been a few yrs, so idk if ill try again.
    plus being less than 2 wks, some of the choices are slim

    Ohana is our fav restaurant on property period. If you want to try it, and are adventurous, here's the plan that has worked for us almost every time...
    Be there in the no-reservation line by 4:30. You'll have to wait about an hour, but IMO it's worth it. At ~5:30, they'll fill in all the cancellation slots they think they'll have. (Currently, the are not taking any walk-ups after this 5:30 selection) Unless they're very busy, they usually take a lot of the people in the wait line (if they're really busy, they may only take a couple of tables). Now for the adventurous part...depending on your group size, talk to the people in front and behind you and see if they're willing to join up to get a table. They fill the tables by party size, not by the order you are in line, so if you have 2-3 people in your party, and are 1st in line, but they don't have any small tables open, they'll take larger parties behind you. Be prepared to make your small party a large party if needed (Or break a large party into small parties). Figure this out before the host/hostess comes by for counts. Tell them your party size, but let them know your alternate party sizes as well. It sounds strange, but we've done it many times, and met some very nice people along the way. My wife actually stays in touch with several of them still. If you get there early, and are flexible, you should be able to get in.

    I love Boma. It is pretty authentic and it just seems healthy. I am going to try the Garden Grill on my next trip to see what it is all about.

    I voted for Ohana & HDD but our favorite buffet is Cape May Cafe for dinner. Although it has seafood choices, it also has chicken and beef as well. I don't think you will be disappointed. I am not a big fan of buffets because I am not a big eater but I do like Cape May. We will be there in early Oct. and it is our first night dinner. Have a great time!
