You always hear how great Ohana is for dinner, that I have never even considered it for breakfast! Looks like you had a wonderful time!
Hope being sick doesn't ruin the last day!
I hadn't heard much at all about 'Ohana breakfast, I chose it for the location. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised! I love the vibe of the Poly any way. It was a great way to start the day.
Thanks. I wasn't feeling great at all.
Uggh! Sick on your last day at Disney? At least you felt well enjoy to keep trudging along. And, thank goodness that you did because breakfast at Ohana looks like a complete success! Maddie's face when the characters came around is lit up like a Christmas tree. So sweet!
It was the pits, but I'm so glad that we didn't skip that breakfast. It turned out to be one of the best times we had on the trip. She had such a great time.
Yayyyy!! I have to say, my experience with Ohana wasn't the greatest, but I probably would go back! I really do want to try it for dinner! Also, definitely teared up a bit at the awesome character times with Maddie, that's so amazingly adorable!!
I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy it. I've heard since our trip that people had very hit or miss experiences there. I think that we only loved it so much because Maddie did. For us that's what it's all about.
Once again, Maddie cracks me up with her giving her dad two choices for the next Disney vacation. She's already picking up on the fact that parents like to give options to kids to pretend that the kids really have a choice, when in the end they will do what the parent wanted anyway.
She's no dummy. We should know pretty soon if we'll be able to go this year or not, so keep your fingers crossed!
Had a few updates to catch on after being gone!
And now I've been MIA for 3 weeks!
Hahaha, I love Maddie's stuffed animals, but I have to say, Perry always cracks me up. He looks like such a doofus, I love it!
Doesn't he? He's a total double agent though. Gotta love him.
Ooohhhh, California Grill. That's some fancy stuff!
No poor Bryan being stuck looking at you! That means he had a beautiful sight to behold during dinner!
Oh you...
I'm glad that you enjoyed your meal. California Grill is on my list all the time, yet I still haven't made it there.
You MUST try it out. We loved every minute of that meal. I know we'll go back next trip.
Oh no, not being able to taste your breakfast at Ohana?! That stinks!!!
I'm glad that Maddie had a good time at Ohana! I like it more than Chef Mickey's. It's fun but not over the top, which I love.
Yeah, it's likely that my food reviews for the last day won't mean squat. I couldn't taste a thing all day.
We LOVED our experience at 'Ohana. It was so much less chaotic that Chef Mickey. And, I loved the Hawaiian gear on the characters. Maddie loves the free leis too.
Oh no! I'm so sorry you were feeling sick on your last day. I completely know how you must've felt. Spoiler alert: I got sick the last couple of days on our trip. It just stinks, right?!?
Oh no! It does stink! Luckily for the vacation, the worst of it hit once we got back.
Too funny that you were posting about breakfast at 'Ohana. If I ever get around to posting my next update, that's what it is. Let's just say I felt the same way about Lilo.
Maddie is just so precious! She really seems to have such a great spirit and is so much fun.
I assume that Lilo is a really hard character to act out, but it really is disappointing. She's such a vibrant spirit in the movies-it would almost be better if they left her out.
Thanks so much Amanda.
Lol I love that. We are going on a trip next year w/ my neice & nephew and my trip report will be titled something like because if we don't take her soon she's going with out us.
My neice is 4 she will be 5 when we go and she is going with or without us.
If Maddie could find a way she'd be there without us in a flash. She just loves it so much!
So glad I finally got back on track with your TR. DIS on my iPhone is a lifesaver. LOL
California Grill sounded great- ill need to consider that one when DH and I go solo.
Isn't it? I love being able to catch up from my phone!
It was amazing-you should definitely put it on your list.
She's has his number! My DGD has already picked out the new Duffy outfit and the new Disney Girl dress (Rapunzel) for next year. For her, it's a given that we'll go next year (is there any better way to celebrate one's birthday). I'm just hoping that her Daddy comes around. My DGD has his number too!
And, BTW, am I the only one who thinks the little girl in the Tyson Chicken commerical looks just like Maddie? I think of her whenever I see the commerical!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories with all of us! Karen
LOL! That's great! For Maddie an annual WDW vacation is a given-it's her dad we have to convince. He's so practical!
I haven't seen that commercial! I'll have to look it up on youtube!
Thanks for being a part of it Karen. It means so much to have all of you sharing the memories with me.
Sorry you were not feeling well on your last day. I hope it didn't overshadow your day.
Thanks Carey. I was pretty determined to carry on.
Ohana's is Kadence favorite meal and for all the reasons you just posted. She loves Stitch, she loves the interaction which I think is some of the best of all character meals, and we like the food.
He licked her head the first time we were there and she fell in love.
It's why we go to WDW too. Why wait until they are jaded teens.
Exactly! It's the moments you won't be able to get when they're older that make it so amazing.
I'm glad that you guys have had great experiences there too. We loved it!
oh no! I hate feeling ill on vacation.. I hope you got better soon. ohanas breakfast meal looked great!
Thanks Smidgy. I know that you guys have been through so much more than a simple cold, I feel silly having you read that. You're very sweet though.
Ohana was great fun for breakfast.
Oh no, getting sick on vacation is the pits! I hope it didn't negatively effect your last day!
I love the pics of Maddie with the characters! I think she has wonderful taste because pluto is my favorite too! I also love the way he signs autographs, and he is always so personable. I haven't run across a bad pluto yet!
It was the pits Marissa. I was determined to enjoy it though.
LOL! She loves Pluto so much! You're right-he's always great. The way he signs is what won her heart from the beginning.
I'm sorry that you weren't feeling very well that day. Hopefully you were able to power through...
It looks like another successful character interaction for Maddie, and another great meal for all of you.
Thanks...
It was! I would recommend it to any one with character loving kids!
oh no! I just read all 101 pages of this TR only to realize that now I have to wait for an update
Welcome!!!! I am so sorry to have made you wait this long! I sure hope you're still with me!
You win for my favorite post of the day!
Maddie is adorable and it sounds like she and I would get along fabulously! I'm 22 and still want to be a princess when I grow up. Also, I totally met all the princesses more than once on my trip in January.
Thanks so much! I hope that she'll still want to be a princess when she grows up too, sounds like you two would be the best of friends!
Rest assured. The princess phase may disappear during the awful middle school/high school phase when nothing is simply cool anymore but it will likely return when she's older (without the cute dresses though )
I'm dreading that phase, and I so hope that you're right.
I would start saving for that MK wedding now I'm slowly convincing (blackmailing? torturing?) those around me that they will help me pay for mine when the time comes! Bf: check Bf's parents: check My parents: continuously remind me of the student loans ...
Damn practical parents! You'll wear 'em down. I think you're right-we might want to sock away extra in the wedding fund. I think a WDW wedding would be lovely for her though.
I can't believe I have reached the end/caught up!!!!! Maddie is the CUTEST-- I am only just engaged....but after we get married....find a house....and have a little Maddie of our own (yes I realize this is in 7 to 8 years from now IF we're lucky : ) I can't wait to take her to Disney and experience the joys of princess stalking and the BBB! How fun!!!!!
Anyway- I can't wait to hear how the end of the trip turned out and also you MUST go on another trip soon so you can do another trip report!
Thanks for the great entertainment and sharing your sweet family.
Welcome and thanks for joining in! You are tied for my favorite post of the day.
You are too, too sweet. It is a great joy taking a little princess to WDW. I can't imagine anything better. BBB is especially great!
I promise to finish this up in a timely manner, and hopefull we'll have a summer trip to report on too.
Thanks so much, it's the lovely people like you that make these TRs so much fun to write.
