That night we had dinner reservations at 'Ohana. I wasn't sure about this. We'd been there a few times before, both with the old menu and the new. We liked it. But on our last trip we had cancelled the reservation and gone to Spoodles again instead. I don't like all the interruptions in the meal (coconut races, limbo, etc) because DS gets distracted and has to participate in everything. I know that sounds scroogy, and if it was a nice normal meal, no problem. But since the food comes at you like a machine gun - well - it's a rushed, distracting kind of meal.
But DH and DS wanted to go, so I decided I would force it to be calm and well paced.
We waited in the Tambu Lounge for about 3 minutes where I was debating treating myself to a mojito, and then we were seated. We had an outstanding table with a great view of the castle:
Our server was nice and we ordered our drinks - coke, diet coke and Kitty cocktail. She brought our drinks and another server came out with the salad, wontons and dips, and chicken wings:
Even though we didn't ask, she offered a childs meal for DS. He was happy with the regular menu, but once she said, "he can still eat everything here, but would he like chicken nuggets or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich too?" he was hooked. DS loves PB&J's
<<<warning Joh - I'm about to post two photos of the infamous PB&J!

You can see in the back of the first PB&J photo that he did indeed have some steak too.
Here is a shot of the delicious Maui potatoes:
And I have no real photos of just the meat - we tried the sausage (ehh...so so), the turkey (good with peanut sauce) and steak (YUM!!!). We didn't have any trouble with refills of soda or meat and we slowed down our own pace of eating even though the food came out constantly and quickly.
Soon it was dessert time. I was going to ask if she could bring some vanilla ice cream on the side along with the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. DS doesn't care for things mucking up his vanilla, unless he puts them there. Seriously. I have taken the child to Coldstone and he's ordered plain Vanilla. AT COLDSTONE!! But I digress...
Before I could ask, she offered to bring him a sundae. He was thrilled and asked (shocker) if it could just be vanilla plain. She assured him that was no problem, but would he mind some Mickey sprinkles too.
Would he??
He was delighted!!
And along with this fabulous dessert came ours:
If love were in a bottle and you could drink it, it would taste like this caramelly buttery rummish sauce...
Especially when mixed with melted vanilla ice cream.
Overall? A very good dining experience. And DS did get to do the coconut races, limbo, hula hoops, parade, and even dragged me up for hula lessons.
We ended the night with a snack of Stitch's astronaut freeze dried ice cream purchased in the shops at the Poly. Truly a most unusual item: tastes exactly like neopolitan ice cream, but dry and not cold.
Bizarre.
DH and DS? Loved it.
Sounds like Gweneth Paltrow's 2nd daughter's name
