Akershus or Ohana

[GenGen22]

I originally selected Ohana for dinner on my upcoming trip but now I'm second guessing my selection. The meat skewers look really yummy and I'm hoping the noodles are the same as they have at the spirit of Aloha show as we loved them when we went last year. My second selection that I'm thinking of replacing Ohana with is Akershus breakfast. The potato casserole sounds delish! I've never been to either of these but have always wanted to go to Ohana. I make my ADR's this coming week so I need to decide. Any QS restaurant selection I may change accept for BOG so that's not really in question. I am more concerned about the ADR's.

We usually only eat two meals a day and then snack when hungry. And we are on the DDP.

Any advise from anyone who has eaten at Ohana at dinner or Akershus for breakfast I would appreciate your suggestions and input. TIA

My ADR's that I'm planning to select are as follows so far:

Day 1: MK Day & MVMCP
CRT for Breakfast
BOG late lunch 2:30pm before MVMCP

Day 2: EP Day
Either Akershus or Everything POP for breakfast
Garden Grill for Dinner

Day 3: HS Day
Everything POP for breakfast
Sci Fi for dinner

Day 4: AK Day
Everything POP for breakfast
Ohana or Flame Tree BBQ for Dinner

I am going to comment on your MK day in general. You are spending a LONG MK day on day 1. That party goes until midnight, so if you start early, will you run out of steam before then? It is a lovely party, the parade and firworks are wonderful, so please plan so you can stay until the end.

I have been to both 'Ohana dinner and Akershus breakfast. I really love a PPO meal in any park, however Epcot is a particularly lovely walk when the park is emptyish.
The food at Akershus is good and it is plentiful, the Princess interaction is really well done, and the service has always been excellent.

'Ohana is inconsistent, When it is good, it is really good. When it is not, well it can be average to awful. If you can get this one, I say book it. It is nto an easy ADR to secure, so if you can it is one that I would say you should try for yourself.

So, if you wanted my own feedback, and you do get 'Ohana, I would skip CRT on Day 1. It is okay, and the Castle is nice, however given a choice of Castles, I would choose BOG for your CS meal, and Akershus for your Princess meal. Cindy is there so you meet her, and you also meet Belle in the foyer. And your Day 1 is not so cluttered up. You can relax and either get an early start at the MK, go back to the resort to relax before the party and then head back refreshed and able to stay til park close. Or you could get a later start to the MK and just stay. CRT muddies up the day, IMO.

FOr CS meals, I really like Flame Tree. You could have that one for an early lunch on DAK day, and 'Ohana for dinner.

In the MK I like Columbia Harbor House. I also like BOG lunch and Cosmic Rays.

In DHS we always go to Backlot Express, however I plan to try Woody's in December.

You are going to have a difficult time getting ADR for CRT and BOG on your first day. You may want a back up plan.

I do realize day one will be long. We have done this before so, we should be fine. And my DD22 really wants CRT so, this is why we selected it. I don't really care if I get BOG as we went last year. I'm really just needing opinions on Ohana and Akershus. Well I'm going to try to see what I can get. I can't change my MK day as MVMCP is already paid for so, that's already set. If I don't get the ADR's then I'll resort to another plan. I can always get an late morning ADR at Cape May or something for breakfast day one as I really liked their breakfast previously. I'll have some other selections just in case my first plan doesn't work out.

I did the 'Ohana Dinner and Akershus Breakfast on my most recent trip.
I thought the food was more interesting at 'Ohana and if you're on the dining plan there is a nice selection of cocktails if you're a drinker. Akershus the food was good but nothing super interesting (the potato casserole was indeed delicious).

I really am going to try for Ohana. If I can't get it or CRT I may opt for Crystal Palace. I also really enjoyed their dinner buffet as well.
