Thanks for the Ohana review. We are going in September and now I am looking forward to it even more.

'Ohana looks great, I can't wait to try it in Sept., especially the dessert - YUM! Hope the hot dog business is going well!

Allan Ohanas looked so yummy makes me sad they were booked through our whole trip I forgot how yummy every thing was! Well i guess we will just have to go back!

Glad you are back Alan. The MMM looks like it would have been a blast.

Love Ohana's! So yummy. Can't wait to eat there again someday.

Can't wait to read about AK!

Wow! I was two updates behind. Um...let's see....what did I want to comment on?

First of all, love the reference to Cousin Eddie. I know you were thankful that nobody like him showed up.

Oh my goodness, what a sweet surprise that you guys had a princess show up for the Photopass picture. Bonus! Too funny that there were people taking pictures of ya'll getting your picture made. I think I see Dana (racefanof88) and her son, Dallas, in your mammoth meet picture. Is that them? If not, they have twins.

My boss in a total wine lover and likes to cook and after seeing your pictures, I think I've gotta make a stop in World Showcase and pick up the apron your wife is holding.

I have Ohana's booked as a backup (at the suggestion of the Dining reservation castmember) just in case the Spirit of Aloha show gets rained out. The food looks really delicious.

Okay, I think I'm done.

Wait, no I am not.....congrats, again, on the success of your family's new restaurant.

Now, I'm done.

First night of our upcoming trip will be 'Ohana. Looking forward to it!

That friendship bread......mmm....definitely needs to become my friend!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

WOWWWWWWWW! That food looks amazing! The towels were probably somewhat refreshing, too. Glad you were able to finally get to bed and relax a bit!

Various scenes from the now-famous MAMMOTH MAY MEET!!!

I spy DIS moms at the slushie kiosk!


Sorry Alan, I have been shamelessly MIA on the DIS. July has been one giant blur of birthdays, concerts, and plays. Am trying to catch up all-around! Love the pix from the meet!

 

[Camster0307]

Hi Team Renfroe! Just stopping by with a little ITSK (I'm-too-sexy-Kara) for your TR!! And LOOK! Some of you Renfroes are in the pic with her!!! Lucky dogs!!!

Have a nice day!

THIS picture still CRACKS ME UP!!!!!!!!

 

[Camster0307]

For about a year now, we've been reading Cammie's trip reports. My daughter, Juliana, thinks that Cammie's youngest daughter, Lauren, is the greatest thing EVAH!! She was SOOOO hoping to meet Lauren....but Cammie of course was on the DIS Mom's Gone Wild trip, sans children. Anyway, Juliana insisted on buying Lauren a gift and having Cammie take it back to her. We made sure to get a picture of Juliana and Cammie holding up the photos of her two daughters, Amanda and Lauren.

Lauren, being the polite young lady that she is, wrote Juliana a very nice thank you note and mailed it to her. It thrilled Juliana to DEATH!!! She is all about this DISboard thing! We are hopeful that we can meet up with Cammie sometime when the girls are with her. Of course, we are hopeful that we get an opportunity to meet up with EVERYONE from MMM again! We really met some wonderful friends!

Alan - Back at ya! We LOVE your TRs and it was such a treat meeting your wonderful family. Juliana and Wil are terrific and I really do hope we can all be down there at the same time one day! Lauren and Amanda would LOVE it!

Also so happy to hear about the success of the restaurant! Now when are you starting that mail order side of it?

 

[ckdsnynt]

Absolutely!!! What could be better than meeting new friends, drinking beer, being on vacation at Disney World??? Yep - we were definitely happy!



I would love to go during free dining, but my job prohibits me from being off very much during the fall season. I LOVE the MEGA mammoth idea!



Ahhh....Ohana....wish I was going there for dinner tonight!



Yeah, we thought that was a neat touch that Disney arranged for a character to come out and meet with our group. It made us feel special!



Juliana is a sweet girl. In the weeks leading up to our trip, she was so captivated with Lauren in Cammie's trip report from Feb.



I know right? I just thought it was hilarious that other people who were NOT part of our group wanted to stop and get our group photo. Hmm...



ABSO-freakin-LUTELY! (I had to go back a few pages to catch this one...but now I'm up to speed. Sorry!)



Hi Ellen! As I am looking back at these pictures, it makes me realize just what a great time we really did have! Next time, we may have to carve out a little more R&C time....maybe even ADRs and a meal.

Can you get ADRs for all of us at the MM? I can hear the phone drop at the CM's end now: "you want an ADR for how many? 35? 45?" "Where do you want to eat? "

So glad to see your Ohana review - I think that's next on our list to try in December!

You going in Dec too? us too! When will you be there? We are definitely going to try 'Ohana. We have never done that one and i think it sounds too good to pass up!
Alan: Sold me on 'Ohana. Really not a fan of this type of food but i am going to go for it based on your review!

Reading about the meet really makes me wish 2012 was not so far away. We will be celebrating our anniversary (40 years!). It will be in the November before that but we are going to wait and celebrate it that May/June (whenever the meet is planned). Hope we have better weather this trip than the May one!
Keep up the reviews. Congrats on the dawgs.

I'm thinking the same thing!

I've never eaten there - although I did manage to stop by real quick once to try a Lapu Lapu. Your pix, Alan, make me want to put it on my "Must-try" list!

Lapu lapu
One for me, one for you!

It's on my list for next year !!!Judy isn't a fan of any Family style meals and we did a couple in 2007 !!But I have been toying with trying it!!!Now once again Mr Renfroe convinces me !!

I see DIS moms back there too! And I look like I"m passed out on the counter. Either that or trying to crawl over the counter to get my drink faster!

 

[DisneyJo]

Your 'Ohana food looks delicious, glad you had a nice evening and how awesome that Aurora joined your group photo

Dang, I'm not sure how it happened, but for our September trip I got Le Cellier and couldn't get O'hana! I called at 90 days out also. Oh well, maybe in February!!

Looking forward to more!

 

[Mysteria]

Alan another great update.

We have never been to Ohana either and it's on my list for November. I'm amazed at the number of us that haven't been to Ohana! For me it's because my mom is usually with us and the menu is not her cup of tea.

I'll have to show my Mom that pick of Dismoms in the back because it has my mom in the front with those 2 glasses of wine again.
