Early Ohana

[KM82]

I've searched for this but I couldn't find my answer. Is there a potential benefit to trying to get the first reservation of the day at Ohana? For example, if you're the first family sat at Hollywood & Vine, you go in and get to meet all of the characters together as a group. We've never had Ohana breakfast before, so I'm not sure what we are dealing with

We have a 7:30 am reservation on a day that we have decided to make a resort day, but there's also an opening around 9:30. I'm trying to decide if we want to get up that early or not. If there's a chance for that group photo, we'll hold on to our early reservation, but if this isn't something they do, we will be sleeping.

Anyone know? Thanks!

The only advantage I know of is with a 7:30 ADR you are likely going to be seated on time. With a 9:30 one, in my experience, you will be lucky to be seated by 10.

I agree with DUG720. Ohana seems to get behind at about 7:35, and stays behind all morning.

Even if they run behind, I would still opt for the later reservation. To get up early and be there for 7:30 a.m. depending on where you are coming from, does not sound like a fun start to a resort/laid back day to me.

We're staying at the Poly, so it's not far, but I think you're right. Sounds like we should do a little later. Thanks everyone!

We always do 7:30 when we eat at Ohana. It's quiet while you're waiting and then right at 7:30 music from Lilo and Stitch turns on and the cousins come out and start clapping. It's not exactly thrilling, but we love that moment!
