Food, some food, and MORE FOOD
Thank you all for being ever so patient for this update containing the most amazing food porn to ever exist that will make you drool, possibly eat your computer that will taste nothing like this awesomeness, and go crazy because you arent at this amazing restaurant at this very moment and you will wonder why you dont live in Disney.
So, we arrived at the Poly at EXACTLY 7:50. And this was the time our ADR was at. JUST MADE IT.
So there I was trying to get everyone inside so we could go upstairs and get checked in. But noooo. They had to walk like turtles. I mean, we were at the Poly INCHES away from HEAVEN and I just wanted to check in NOW.
And then we had to take the elevator because Troy in his stroller.
But the good thing is is that the elevator is like right next to the desk where you check in for OHANA.
HALLEUJAH
HALELUJAH
I mean, it only took us SIX MONTHS TO GET THIS ADR and I was ready!
We checked in and got a pager and the CM said there was going to be a little wait. ITS NOT LIKE I CARED BECAUSE I WAS EATING AT OHANA AKA THE BEST RESTAURANT ON PLANET EARTH.
To pass the time, we checked out the gift shops and I saw this in one of them.
Like OMG. GIVE ME THE POLY PLAYSET.
I also pin traded for a cute Minnie ghost pin, which was from Halloween.
Our pager still hadnt gone off yet so we sat in the waiting area, with the tables that had the drink menus on them from the Tambu Lounge.
I just sat there and rolled my eyes.
LIKE WHY THE CRAP CANT YOU PEOPLE WAIT FIVE MORE MINUTES TILL WE ARE SEATED TO GET A STUPID DRINK FROM THE STUPID TAMBU LOUNGE. IT WILL TASTE EXACTLY THE SAME AND IT WONT KILL YOU TO WAIT SEVERAL MORE MINUTES. OMG. I CANT STAND YOU ALL. DID YOU FORGET YOU HAD A THREE YEAR OLD. ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A REPEAT OF THE NIGHT BEFORE.
Im sorry.
BUT REALLY.
I truly do not understand why you couldnt just wait five more minutes to be seated to have a stupid drink.
So, the other people ALLLLLL ordered a drink and they were like Oh wow this is so good! Melissa, do you want one? And Mum was like Ill just wait. THANK YOU.
Then they asked me if I wanted a soda or something. And I wanted to answer Umm, I just want you to all leave. but sadly, those words wouldnt be coming out of my mouth.
Which stinks.
FINALLY, our buzzer thingy went off and we were led to a big table near the front of the restaurant.
IT'S TIME TO EAT. #OHANA
And by that time, all the drinks were sucked down and they ordered another one.
Yeah
Lets just get to the food before I start ranting again, OK?! Great.
So of course, we were brought over the most heavenly bread ever when we sat down.
Seth and Jackie werent big fans of it. LOSERS.
And then some really yummy salad.
Seriously, that dressing is awesome. Disney, can you please sell it in the Bou-Tiki (GET IT?! ITS SUPPOSED TO BE BOUTIQUE BUT SINCE ITS THE POLY ITS Bou-TIKI! SUCH A RIOT. Ok, not so much.)?
THE POTSTICKERS AND CHICKEN WINGS HOLY CRAP YUMMAY.
I was COVERED with the sauce from the chicken wings. Who really cares though?!
THE LO MEIN. And some broccoli, but lets be real. If you have the lo mein, potstickers, and chicken wings, WHY WOULD YOU WANT BROCCOLI? I mean, its good and all, but really.
And last, but CERTAINLY not least, MEAT.
NOMS NOMS NOMS NOMS NOMS NOMS NOMS NOMS.
Even Troys little Mickey stuffed animal was joining in on the food, since we were WAY too full to finish all of it. But he was eating the beans and broccoli. Like, WHY NOT THE MEAT MICKEY?! I dont know what is wrong with that mouse sometimes. Like seriously.
Oh and I cant forget the ridiculous woman who does the stupid coconut races with all of the kids yelling MY COCONUT IS MISSING! I seriously cant stand that woman. She talks in this ridiculous voice and then plays her ukulele and hulas. Oh my god, she is so annoying. And our waitress, Becky, said that she is ALWAYS like that. If I had to work in the same facility as that whack job, I would lose my marbles. Seriously.
And then we got dessert. Holy crap. HEAVEN ON EARRRRTHHHHHH.
Dying, dying, dead.
I could barely put any more food into my mouth at that point, but I wasnt going to have the amazing bread pudding go to waste. Everyone else was moaning and groaning because they were so full and there I was eating like there was no tomorrow even though I was about to explode.
Two words: food coma.
My stomach hurt because I was so full. I didnt wear my eatin pants so it felt like my button was going to fly off. It didnt though.
I seriously can't move because I'm so full.
We paid and we said a ton with our TiW since there were so many of us. The other people must have been happy that we got a discount on their drinks. Youre welcome -_-
Overview of Ohana
Food: I would be supid if I din't say the food was excellent. 5/5
Service: Becky was our waitress, and she was good, but didn't have much personality. 4/5
Atmosphere: Good, but it gets loud because of whacko 3.5/5
"The other people" all loved Ohana. GOOD THING. There would be a problem if they didn't. They all enjoyed the meal and thought the food was great.
After I managed to get out of my seat (which took like five years since I could barely move) we headed out of Ohana and we went downstairs via the elevator since I couldnt walk down the stairs.
We checked out the BouTikihehehe...and looked around for quite a bit.
I said hi to one of my many tiki friends. This one was decorated nicely for the holidays.
An interesting Christmas tree thing made out of balls.
For some odd reason, Seth got Mickey slippers. You know Mickeys yellow shoes? Yeah those. But in slipper form. He said they were very comfortable but I couldnt imagine him wearing those. I dont even know.
Jackie got this wonderful dress.
Im kidding.
I checked out some of the new shirts they had. This one was awesome.
Disney shirts are the best.
After we were done looking around, we headed back upstairs to catch the monorail.
LOVED this by the elevator.
We took the monorail to the most magical kingdom of all. Sadly, we werent going in that night. I dont think there were EMH and plus we had an early morning and the other people had to have their beauty sleep.
Once we got to MK, we headed to the bus stop and there was a HUGE line for Saratoga. Awesome.
But the other people (minus one) took a cab back to their resort. Oh, and have I mentioned this was one of the MANY times they did that? BECAUSE THEY DIDNT WANT TO WAIT. Im not even joking. They told us that. They said the buses took too long and they didnt want to wait for one after a long day. Ummm do you know Disney transportation if for one, awesome, and for two, FREEEEEE. I will never understand them. Ever.
A SSR bus finally came and we had to stand.
And then I started acting like a total FREAK.
I dont even know what happened.
I started laughing hysterically.
I recall that happening after we ate at Ohana in August, but no hot guys were there. And I didnt have a bottle of water.
I blame it all on the food.
LalalalalalaLALALALA!
People probably thought I was drunk. Seriously.
I couldnt stop laughing. I was standing on the bus crashing into Mum on purpose (some wonderful guy let Mimi sit down) and trying not to step on peoples toes. Im sure people love moi.
Once we got back to Saratoga, we headed up to our room via the stairs since we couldnt find (aka laziness) the elevator. I could barely walk up the stairs because I had WAYYYY too much food and I had to stop to laugh some more.
And the laughing continued.
We got into our VILLA (after Mum had to dig for her KTTW card since I was laughing too hard to find mine. SEEEE. This is why Disney is spending a billion dollars for those wristbands. Since I am always laughing, we wont have to look for five hours for our KTTW cards) and I went nuts.
Food from Ohana + no sleep = craziness
I think I might be food drunk.
I truly think so.
I was wide awake, bouncing off the walls. Im sure our neighbors loved me then, since it was midnight and all.
I couldnt sleep (I wonder why) so I stayed up till one and wrote in my journal. WHO NEEDS SLEEP?!
I finally got myself into bed and tried to sleep, while waking up my mother.
I turned on Stacey and that made me fall asleep of course, Stacey helps with EVERYTHING.
NIGHTY NIGHT!
