What a great night at Ohana! I've never eaten there...mostly because I never have kids in tow...but that bread pudding might get me there eventually!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Ohmygoodness,ohmygoodness! I am sooo far behind, but will catch up today.

LOVE all the pics, especially at Ohana. Tim, Ana just keeps getting more and more beautiful and oh, that angel face! Melody is looking especially lovely too!

Maybe you were all Leied at Ohana because it was a birthday celebration?

Year's ago you could buy inexpensive Flower Lei's at the Poly, so I surprised my DD and her friend for our Dinner show. We were staying at the Poly and Concierge delivered the Lei's just as we were getting ready to walk over to the Show. The girl's LOVE it and the Lei's lasted forever - wore them on the plane home.

Back to reading....

I got leied once at O'Hana, but I had to initiate the process.

Actually, I saw TONS of people getting leis when checking into the Poly, but I didn't get any there either. I have a guess on why, but I"ll save that for my own TR.

As for initiating! I think that's perfectly acceptable...

You have to at least taste the bread pudding. Where's Homer ???

Mark's not been around lately- at least here. Glenn has a copy too- Boys! Where are you, when we need you??

Ohhh Girrrrrlll We so need to take you back!!!!

Ok. (THAT was hard. )

Not even at check-in?? Aw, your CM must have been so in awe of the beauties standing before her/him that a Lei did not occur to her/him!!

Last time we stayed at the Poly in '07, we had to ask for our Lei's. Would not have thought of it if my friend hadn't noticed everyone else checking in being giving Lei's. That trip we had the grumpy CM at check-in - she seems to have a rep for always being grumpy. Maybe they should move her over to Snow White's Adventure?

 

[mom2pixies]

Great pics! How nice it was for Juliana to have all these little friends to meet up with! She looked like she was having a blast at Ohana's with the little girls! So sweet.

Sheesh! I honestly don't know how the rest of you keep up with these TR's all the time! Here you go...

(although truth be told, I don't care for bananas in my dessert)

Haha! Yes, I"m sure our sheer loveliness had a lot to do with his reluctance to give the goods, but there were a couple of other factors that also went into it- I'm almost positive- a bit of drama (ok, a whole bunch of drama!) in fact.

GREAT to see you around again, Christine! I haven't seen you on the DIS in a while, but think of you whenever I open up FB.

I dont' either!! I think it has something to do with avoiding housework...

And truth be told, I gag whenever I see/touch/ smell or fart a banana. They are gross. That is all.

Drama?! See how much I've missed not being on the DIS!!! Sooo many TR's to catch up with!! Will be working on it this week for sure though.

How sweet of you to think of me when you go to FB - but likely that's due to some post of mine about dog rescue greeting you. I wish there was a way for such post NOT to show up on every friend's page. Sorry 'bout that.

The Poly drama starts in about 2 posts from now. We'll see- I tend to be wordy and obviously am taking forever about getting my TR done.

I don't mind at all!!! You're a nice person to "think about' each day.

Guess I'm getting back into gear just in time for the good stuff!!

Awww.....

What a fun night!!!

 

[pinkxray]

Love the 'Ohana update. I can't wait to eat there next week

It looks like everyone had a fun night. Juliana and Henry look so adorable meeting.

 

[smileycrissy]

Our plan after dinner was to head to DTD. When we stepped out of the Poly it was raining out. Dave and I ran to the cars and picked everyone up at the door. We drove to DTD in the pouring rain, thunder, & lightning and Mel & I were questioning if this was a smart idea. When we got to DTD I checked the radar and it seemed like the storm was about to pass. We sat in the car for 10 minutes when the rain looked like it was letting up. I made the call that we could make it to a store and not get soaked, so we got out and started loading up our stroller. All of the sudden, the skies opened up again. Melody and Juliana hopped into the hatch of the truck. I was laughing at them and I had to take a picture! (Look, she's still smiling!)

The downpour only lasted for 2-3 minutes then we tried it again and made it into the World of Disney. Juliana needed to use the bathroom and I was in contact with another DISer Crissy (smiliecrissy) and we were going to meet inside the WoD.

Juliana wasn't listening too well when we got in the store and we had just disciplined her when we met Crissy. She was so nice and brought Juliana some socks and a sock purse from the LittleMisMatched store- it was so nice of her! Thank you!!!! We had the chance to talk for a few minutes while Juliana modeled some sunglasses.

Crissy just moved to Orlando from the North East and lucky her- she gets to go to Disney whenever she wants! After a short meeting we were off again!

Tim's girls are so beautiful in person. Juliana is just too cute. And that rain - ugh.

Mr Tim, you can find yourself saying the same thing 'I was from the North East and moved down here so I can play everyday!' DF laughs at me at how much I still enjoy going to Disney. I told him I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

 

[xoktenox]

What an awesome night you guys had. Meeting up with so many friends and DISers, you lucked out going at the right time!

'Ohana is one of our favorite meals, I'm itching to get back there! Especially for a Lapu Lapu

The picture of Mel and Juliana in the back of the truck is too funny

All the pictures of the kids are adorable! I don't think I've seen a bad picture of Juliana yet in all the TRs of yours I have read, she is so photogenic!

 

[Caretames1]

Wow, the glasses look familiar........ Oh yeah! My DD bought those exact ones!
So cute!

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Fab update Tim! And I'm completely convinced that Mel is incapable of ever taking a bad picture! She always looks so pretty.

Yay for your two Dismeets! I guessed they were Brook and Crissy. How fun! Henry and Ana are so sweet together! And how nice of Crissy to bring Ana gifts, so thoughtful!

Don't you just love Ohana?? We adore it. It's our first night restaurant every trip. And the bread pudding? Like a little slice of heaven. Well, pre gluten free anyway!

Bummer about that rain though. I love how adorable Mel and Ana look in the back of the car. That's too funny! I'd have done the same.

Ok, all this lei'ed talk is hilarious too!!

Looks like an amazing start to a great trip.

 

[that's nice]

looks like you all had a fun time at O'hana's! love all the cute pics of the kid's, too sweet!

Yay, you got to meet Crissy, she is so sweet....we got to hang out with her at EP one night~~~ will be in my next update ~~~
great photo of your girls with pooh!

Where to start..... so much to comment on!

Crissy was soooo nice! She was so sweet to bring Juliana gifts! She wears those mismatched socks everyday!

With the exception of the rain, it looks like you had the perfect first day/night at Disney.

It was perfect, although seeing Wishes would of been a tad better!

Yeah, but if you tried to arrange that, you'd be on the 4th floor of the 50's section, they'd be on the first floor of 80s.

Well, it WAS requested- and we linked our reservations- but I had low expectations.

Were they happy to see all of you or just Mel and Juliana?

Mostly Mel and Juliana.... but Bill was happy to see I brought a couple 12 packs of Yuengling!

Tim, you're a dirty ma.... oh, leid. Didn't notice the spelling there.

This is a family board ya know!

Did you have to tip her?

The 20% was included with the Tables of Wonderland card.

NO! Half Eaten salad does not count as food porn. No way, no how, never! The rest are find - great pictures, even - but salad? As Food Porn?

I LOVE their shrimp. But they're just too much work to peel and eat. And 9 times out of 10, as soon as I peel it, Evan will give me those puppydog eyes and ask if he can have it.

Of course you give it to him!

Cute little adorable and sweet Princess Juliana?!?
There must be some kind of misunderstanding here. Are you sure you weren't being mean to her just to be mean?

Does your prince & princess listen all the time? I'm sure they would NEVER do anything wrong.....

great pics tim! i had to laugh we got the same pic of briana in ohanas walking around in the parade with the maracas.(i cant spell) kids seem to be having a great time, always smiling. when briana was small, i would unpack while tammy and briana went to the pool. after 16 1/2 hours in a car with me, they needed to get away. i love the pic of the castle, im going steal that castle one day. great up date!

Thanks Dave!!!!!!

I know before I know it Juliana will be Briana's age.... I have to cherish these moments, they will be gone before I know it.

You think that castle will fit in your car???

 

[that's nice]

Great pics! It's been so long since we've eaten at Ohana! I don't remember bread at Ohana?! So cute that your daughter was the bread person. I also don't remember the noodles or broccoli? Glad you all enjoyed the meal!

I think you need to get back to 'Ohana pronto!!!! The food is so good there!!

Cute picture in the hatchback. We need some heavy rain again in Central Florida. Everything is getting so dry and there have been fire watches 'til 7pm every night, due to dryness.

There were fire watches when we were there too.... I stopped watching the news once we got to Disney..

Loving your pictures of Pop Century! We are at the 16 day countdown to our mini-vacation at Pop!

Ooooohhhhh!!!!! POP is such a fun resort! I know you will have a great time!

Thanks! Now I am drooling. Ohana's is our favorite place to eat. We had to eat there twice last trip.

Sorry to make you drool! We love 'Ohana!!!

We might of eaten there twice this trip....

Great Pix of Pop and O'Hanas !!!We will be staying at Pop and are doing O'Hanas dinner for the first time !!!Your pix made me even more excited avout this dinner

I don't think you will be disappointed with 'Ohana

I received your PM.. I just haven't had a chance to write you back yet.

Ohana. Yum. Yum. DH and I made our first trip there in April and man, I think you need two stomachs in order to eat in there!! Either that, or don't eat at all during the day! I also had one of the Lapu Lapu's and my husband had the backscratcher. Ooh, I could use a Lapu Lapu right about now!! I have to agree with you about the pork, it was very dry. We didn't get any turkey though. Nor did we get leid. I hope when we go back in October they give the girls their leis. I really think it adds something to the experience.

Two updates in as many days!! Keep 'em comin'!!

We got leid when we walked into the Poly! I think Juliana got pink leis at 'Ohana.... ut oh... It's starting to get fuzzy!

I think 'Ohana need hand trucks to wheel you out of the restaurant! I didn't try the Lapu Lapu.. maybe I'll just have to get back to Ohana just to try one!

Can I just say TOO FREAKING CUTE! Both your wife and daughter are gorgeous! I have never eaten at Kona, but it's on my to-do-list for my next trip! I took the same hidden Mickey picture at the poly back in April! Too funny about the downpour!

Thanks for all the kind words!

'Ohana is one of our favorites.... there is so much good food!

 

[that's nice]

Seen photos of this...but never have been able to see the hidden Mickey...not even in person...but I think maybe I see it thanks to your wonderful skills of getting it exactly not in the center of the photo.

Glad I am useful for something...

Is it wrong that I see like 6 hidden Mickey's in that picture?

Swim time in the Hippy Dippy Pool - always a great start to a trip especially when enjoyed with friends!

Well, we were in the bowling pin pool.. the HD pool was closed for refurb!

I can't believe how many meets you fit in on your first day. My head is spinning!

We were meeting people all over the place!

I the Poly! We were not impressed with Ohana for breakfast but I would like to try dinner some time! Between the food pics and the Lapu Lapu, I am hungry and thirsty! Looks like a fun meet/dinner/bday celebration! That is a great hidden mickey - there are a lot at the Poly if you ever get a chance to explore there.

Dinner is great there. You will NOT leave hungry! I can't look at the 'Ohana pics anymore, it makes me sad.

for shopping at DTD and another meet! Sounds like a nice end to a great day!

My day ended around midnight.. and we had to be up early the next day!

WOW lots of fun DISmeets,
checking into POP, the extra night add on
and pool time and a fun family dinner at Ohana, this is shaping up to be quite the trip already

You know how we do... never a dull moment!!!

So after joining this party late, I am finally caught up.

I should be done with this TR soon... (yea rite!)

Love Juliana's poses! My little girl is starting to strike some of the same poses when we take pictures, so I wonder if it's a girl thing? Either way, cracks me up each time.

I saw some of your DDs poses on FB (the wedding pics) She is too cute BTW! I think it is a girl thing!

I love the pic on the "Pooh bench" at DTD. We were taking the obligatory pic there each trip but when we were there in Feb., it was gone! I think they were remodeling the Pooh store so it must have been moved for a bit.

I think they moved it.... It was near guest relations.

I wish I could be at a Florida beach right now.

Love me some Ohana grub.

Mee too!!!!!

Wow, that's a little bit more Disney magic than I was expecting.

This is where I draw the line at- Pics, or it didn't happen!

I was just thinking that we needed a Designated Bread Person in our home. Is she available to hire?

How much ya got?

Haven't eaten at Ohana yet. This must be remedied.

I wonder if Scotty would be scared of the BIG flames coming up from the grills?

Sounds like your weather prediction skills are good enough to get you hired full-time! Have you talked to the local affiliates?

I always wanted to be a weatherman. Maybe I should make a few calls.
