That certainly looks like a lot of food. I am glad you had a good meal to end what sounds like a very busy day. I will be waiting to hear more.
Hi Doreen !!!
Alan, I know you are busy with the hot dogs and all and not Dising as much. But I had to let you know that Mark and I are going "home"--yep, we'll be at CSR for three nights/four days (September 19-22). As you know, we cancelled our trip because of finances and were, instead, going to Marco Island for 10 days because it was costing us nothing but the rental car and food (and I plan to cook a lot--no biggie). Well, I still had deposit down for our 10 days Disney trip and thought well what if we did a couple nights on the way to Marco or on the way home...especially with the special $96 rate they were offering for moderates. So I gave it a try and was able to get the first three nights at that rate before our trip to Marco Island. I'm so excited! Nope, it's not 10 days, but to me a few days is better than no days at Disney. So.....CSR here we come!
I haven't tried O'Hana's yet but I am adding it to my TO DO list after your review !!!!!Those shrimp look delish !!! Even the veggies looked great!!! Now as for bread pudding ...okay I admit it next to Tiamusu that is a fav.of mine !!!!
We've never done Ohanas, but after reading your review and seeing those pictures, it is on our list for our next visit for sure.
Love the Ohana photos! Were big Ohana fans! Last year we had to wait 45 mins past our ADR time and our waitress - gave us a special table - perfect for Wishes viewing
The only problem is they give us as much food for a family of four as two people!
The pic of Wil with the towel brought back so many memories, I have the same pic of my boy when he was 9.....he's leaving for college in two weeks.....Cherish those kiddos Alan!
I love the salad and hot towels there too!
You guys def. deserved a good night of sleep
So glad to see your Ohana review - I think that's next on our list to try in December!
Ain't that the truth! My baby turned 21 in May and they are both in college (oldest, age 23, is going back for his Masters). It goes way too fast.
Loving the trip report so far- you sold me on Ohana for our December trip!! The food looks awesome.
Oh how I love thee Ohana! We had about the same experience, a bit slow, entertainment (we had the woman) was.....different....but the food! Oh the food!!!!!!!! I ate WAY too much that night though, ended up ruining me for the week!
Thank you so much for the update! We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ohana! I cannot wait to go back there in September, esp. now that your photos made my mouth water,
Looks like O'Hana will have to go on my "must try" list! I've heard so much about the "entertainment" that I have a morbid curiosity now!
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!
Nettii
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!
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!
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!
THIS picture still CRACKS ME UP!!!!!!!!
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?
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? "
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!
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!
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.
That certainly looks like a lot of food. I am glad you had a good meal to end what sounds like a very busy day. I will be waiting to hear more.
I'd forgotten that fantastic pudding at Ohana's
Perhaps you guys could help me out-what is Banana Fosters sauce (think that's what it's called)-does it come in a bottle-could I buy some in Walmart-looked last year but didn't really know what I was looking for.
One last question-if I can buy it in Walmart how many could I fit in my suitcase
My DH has a list of rides he can nap in-Ellens Universe of Energy is the Epcot one!
The picture of Wil in bed is so cute-bless him-he must have been exhausted.
Really enjoying the report Alan-Thanks again
Another great update Alan!! Thanks for these updates. You must be so busy with your new business. I have the "I wine a lot" t shirt. I got it in May when we were there. My family also loves Ohana's. I love it when they bring out the hot towels & the food is great!! We have been twice & it was great both times.
You did look pretty beat in that pic of you waiting for your ADR. When it is that hot out it does not take long to get tired!! Looking forward to your next update
Alan, I know you are busy with the hot dogs and all and not Dising as much. But I had to let you know that Mark and I are going "home"--yep, we'll be at CSR for three nights/four days (September 19-22). As you know, we cancelled our trip because of finances and were, instead, going to Marco Island for 10 days because it was costing us nothing but the rental car and food (and I plan to cook a lot--no biggie). Well, I still had deposit down for our 10 days Disney trip and thought well what if we did a couple nights on the way to Marco or on the way home...especially with the special $96 rate they were offering for moderates. So I gave it a try and was able to get the first three nights at that rate before our trip to Marco Island. I'm so excited! Nope, it's not 10 days, but to me a few days is better than no days at Disney. So.....CSR here we come!
Kat, I would love to meet you! We will be at CSR Sept 12-21! Your info on CSR has been so awesome, i'd love to met and thank you in person!

Thanks! We have a few others who are interested in a "morning coffee" or "afternoon drink" at Siesta's. Working on the schedule...so watch the CSR FAQ Thread as I'll be posting a proposed date there in the next few days.
