First Timer ADRs

[justme0729]

Do you think our ADR list looks good? We are getting married at Disney and will have extended family (adults) who are first timers and want them to focus on Disney experiences...we've already went to Ohana, HDD, and Coral Reef and liked them.

1. Tusker House Dining Package (for characters and rivers of light)

2. Ohana Dinner

3. California Grill during wishes

4. Cinderellas Royal table breakfast (just fiance and I)

5. Hoop Dee Doo

6. Boma

7. Coral Reef

8. Ohana Breakfast

9. Narcoosees (just fiancé and I)

It looks great! I might consider switching Boma to something else as it is slightly similar to Tusker House. Maybe Sanaa instead of Boma?

Also, there are some great restaurants in the World Showcase section of EP. Since you've eaten at Coral Reef, would you consider trying something new? We really like Spice Road Table, but for a fun Disney experience with a larger group, Biergarten could be a lot of fun.

Is there a Rivers of Light dining package available? Or are you hoping for one to become available for your trip? TIA.

Just hoping... I think I saw a jungle book package before so hoping they do it with rivers of light

So exciting to be getting married at Disney! Since you are doing Ohana for dinner, maybe do a different brft? We like Crystal Palace for food and Pooh characters, Cape May at Beach Club is nice and has Minnie, and have heard good things about 1900PF brft at GF - depends on your plans and any characters your family enjoys.

As a previous poster said, Boma and Tusker House are very similar, and I'd also switch out Boma to Sanaa. California Grill is a great choice, my boyfriend and I love going there! I personally did not like the Ohana breakfast, but some really do, and again since you're already doing dinner there, maybe try something else? I'd recommend 1900 PF, we love dinner there and have heard really good things about breakfast!

Thanks! The morning of doing Ohana Breakfast we are checking out of AKL and in to the Polynesian for one night so maybe I will switch it to Boma Breakfast if we drop Boma dinner... we just want somewhere convenient and are gonna do Kona the next morning

Thanks! Maybe we will drop Boma...we are kind of picky eaters and like simple meat and potatoes kinda thing. Do you think we would like Sanaa?

Do you like Indian food? They have a lot of meat options (like the potjie inspired braised beef and the steak entree), but they often feature Indian/African spice profiles. The braised beef is delicious!

The bread service is also really really really good and was the best thing I ate on my last trip!

You might, I'm actually not huge on Indian food (I mean, I can eat butter chicken), and that was my main problem with Boma I think, is that I wanted to like what I was trying but it just wasn't for me (and I'm not a picky eater - I'll try everything once!) But for some reason the Indian food at Sanaa was totally different for me.

Like littledebbie335 said, Sanaa has a lot of options, and I much prefered it over Boma. The bread service is amazing! If you go to Sanaa, definitely do all the dipping sauces! Even the spicy ones are delicious. I'd also recommend (if you like seafood) the seafood stew that you can get with the potjie inspired dish. Our waitress was also very helpful with us deciding on what we may or may not like. Take a look at the menu, too, and pictures of the dishes online, that may help you decide if you'd like them or not. If they don't look good to you - then that's fine! Makes your decision easier. I'd pick at least two dishes you think you may like just incase one gets taken off the menu.

O'hana breakfast and dinner are very different in terms of food and atmosphere (the breakfast is a character meal). I think O'hana vs. Boma breakfast really comes down to what kind of food you like (Boma is a varied buffet, O'hana is basically eggs and breakfast meats served family style) and whether you want characters or not.

None of the AKL restaurants are really simple meat and potato places, but we've never had a problem finding simpler foods at any of them.
