12/24 Ohana Breakfast
When staying at the Polynesian, Ohana breakfast is a must do for us. My kids could care less about most characters, but they all love Mickey and Stitch. They also do not want to meet characters in the parks, so a character breakfast is a nice and easy way to get on a hug and get on our way.
Our family also has a tradition of going out to eat breakfast on Christmas Eve. Morning, so I booked Ohana for this day. Later, I realized my error (TIW blackout day), but I was never able to find another ADR, so I stuck with it. Incidentally, I did see dinner times available during our trip... Pretty interesting that breakfast was harder to get than dinner!
The POG juice, coffee, and fruit came right away. We had efficient service and good character interaction. A nice change for us was the addition of a Photopass photographer with Stitch. We got some great photos! This breakfast was very good, but eating it the day after Garden Grill made it pale slightly in comparison. There was noticeably less variety and quantity. Still plenty of good food to eat, but I would not recommend eating in those two restaurants in that order back to back. We enjoyed the Mickey and Stitch waffles, eggs, potatoes, and sausage. The bacon was Disney bacon... Limp and greasy. The allergy plate did have Mickey waffles and Stitch waffles, a very exciting thing for my ODD. We requested more regular waffles, as our first plate only had 3. It was a good meal, and we will definitely return, but if not staying at the Poly, I think we will do GG instead!
