First NIte Dinner: Crystal Palce VS Ohana VS Boma

OK - we both cannot decide between the 3 restaurants we've narrowed it down to (w/ all your help!)

It's between these three.... please vote!

I voted for Boma. The food there is just fantastic. In all fairness, I haven't tried the other 3, but plan to next trip. If you do Boma (or Ohana), you won't have to use up a day on your park hoppers to eat there. If you are AP holders, then I guess that isn't a concern, but I don't go to parks on arrival day.

where are you staying and what time are you arriving? Boma is the best place out of those 3 but it might not be worth the trip out to the AKL on your first night.

Ohana's atmosphere is fun especially if you have kids. They have activities, etc.

The food is family style so there is plenty. We really enjoyed the food. They also have a lot of fun dessert choices.

I love all three, but voted for 'Ohana because if you time it right, you can see "Wishes" without having to use a day on your passes... unless, of course, you have annual passes, so getting in to MK isn't an issue.

I did 'Ohana on the first night for my February Magical Gatherings trip with my immediate and extended families and it was a great. I'd dined there before, but this time it felt like the perfect place to start the magic!

Ohana's is a lot of fun. I ate there for the first time last year and we all had a good time. Even my kids who are pciky eaters were fine and they had lot of fun.

Our family always does Chef Mickey's the first night. It is a tradtion with us. We don't go into the parks the first day, so we swim rest and then head over the CM. It gets the vacation started off right, the food is good, and we get to see Mickey.

Going to both places will allow you to see the MK lit up at night, and that is always beautiful.

I couldn't vote! All three restaurants are MANDATORY!

My trip in two weeks hyper: ) will start with dinner at Boma on arrival night and also there will be a breakfast at Boma on the morning we check into AKL mid-week. Watching WISHes from Ohanas is great and so is the food. I'd say pick one of these two and do a lunch at Crystal Palace, I like eating there right at 11:30 and having it be the main meal of the day.

I voted for Boma- but each of these is a family favorite. I love the Zebra Domes, and exploring the AKL, and the Moroccan dishes are wonderful.

BUT I'm not sure why I didn't vote for Ohana with its great view of the MK and that perfect beach for watching Wishes, and the coconut races and the hool a hoop contests.

And then there's Crystal Palace, where DH and I spent another memorable breakfast just on 9/20 to celebrate DH's birthday. In the evening the desserts are great, the carving station has the usual, but the salad are superb!

Trouble deciding. YES!
