I have only been to O'hana's twice, but both times I have had ridiculously long waits (1 hour +). This time, we checked in, got our picture with Pluto and then had to sit at the bar. There wasn't anywhere else to sit. Thankfully it was open. I ordered a cranberry juice. Aaron got some other juice that he doesn't remember.
We finally went up and asked if we could just cancel the meal and not be charged the $10 per person fee. . I had an appointment for a massage an hour and a half from that point. The lady at the desk said she would see what she could do. She returned and said our table had been assigned. They just needed to clean it. We were seated about 10 minutes after that. She said that if it was fastpasses or an appointment on property, she would have been able to alter the time for us.
Pros
1. This is the only restaurant where the chef came out and discussed my dietary restrictions with me. He made some alterations based on what he had available and gave me a pretty good meal.
2. MDE only allows you to list things as an allergy, so it came up as me being allergic to grains. Our server was very attentive and kept all bread away from me until we explained the situation. He even told Aaron he had to brush his teeth before kissing me, since Aaron was eating the bread. (After many trips with various male friends, I have learned to just accept that cast members assume we are a couple - even when I went two years ago with a very obviously gay friend. If they didn't assume we were a couple, they assumed he was my dad.) I thought this was pretty awesome of him to have that level of awareness of food allergies.
3. We had a great view from our seat. I can understand why people think this is a good place to eat to view the MK fireworks. (I actually typed out Wishes and then remembered that Wishes is gone. :\)
Cons
1. I was pretty stressed about the time frame.
2. Even if I didn't have an appointment looming over my head, who wants to sit around waiting to eat for an hour?
Aaron's list
1. All you can eat, but they bring it out. He would prefer to pick his own food.
2. Didn't like the juice
3. Service was good
4. The food was good.
5. The characters were good
6. Seating was good.
I will probably not return to O'hana's again unless someone is really, really, really set on going. I know it gets great reviews on here. I guess I am just not as patient as everyone else.
