We were lucky enough to be in the world Dec 8-16! :cool1:

It was COLD!! Seriously...we are from MN and use to negative temps although it is a dry cold. FL has a damp cold...it was 23 degrees on morning! We wore our winter coats-hats-gloves-scarves plus 4 layers-5 of our days there!

Crowds seem to be up....it was busier. Although with the cold temps mornings were dead-splash mtn was a walk on anytime! :rotfl: Yes-we road it several times! Monorails were packed!!

In past years the Osbourne lights were on about 1/2 hour after park close. So this year we were in Muppet 3D until about 857...just rounded the corner to Osbournes and boom-they shut off! :eek: So we pretty much missed it this year.

I was a bit worried about HW&V having the fantasmic pkg. We have done this resturant before and thought it was ok. We actually enjoyed it! I loved the healthier options here! Turkey, chicken, veggies, whole-grain pasta dishes! :woohoo:

Ohana's for dinner.....our waitress was not that great-----BUT THE FOOD!! OMGosh~I couldn't get enough! It was out of this world delish!!! :thumbsup2

Le Cellier~I had this booked at 815pm, to hopefully do Illuminations right after. Our waiter was super nice, but slow!!! We didn't get done with our check until 945!! (We were seated for dinner at 825.) The food is good...but not fabulous. Is it worth 2 TS, I personally don't think so. (I would much rather have Ohana :goodvibes)

Plaza-what a great find!! Good food and GREAT ice-cream!!

The dessert party, expensive but SO worth it! The view was awesome...

That's about all I can think of right now! If you have any questions-let me know!!

and one more thing.....we stayed at the Poly and loved it! But the bussing :sad2: it was really bad! The contemp then the Poly?? Wouldn't it make more sense to put GF with the Poly?? They are on the same side....as putting the GF with WL, makes NO sense to me! :confused3
 
One question....is O'Hana's a "must" just for the food? Our kids (and us) are NOT into Lilo and Stitch AT ALL....so I've never considered it...

If the food is worth it though, we could ignore the characters, lol....:confused3:lmao:

We did the dinner which doesn't have characters. Only the bkfst does. It is on our MUST list for all future trips! My daughter who is super picky tried nearly everything! :woohoo:
We also asked if we could get pb&j and chicken nuggets. Our waitress brought us a huge platter of chicken nuggets, french fries, pb&j....not the healthiest but the kids loved it. They also had coconut races....a sing-a-long...etc. Very much a highlight for us! :goodvibes
 

question, what does Ohana have for dinner?

Salad, hawaiian bread :lovestruc, yummy noodles, sticky wings, skewered meats-chicken, peel & eat shrimp, beef & pork, broccoli, and too die for bread pudding! Even if you don't like bread pudding you will love this dessert! :thumbsup2
It's served family style-so all you can eat.
 
we are going in feb and i have 2 questions does the cold go right through you? we are from ND so we are used to it. Also did any of you get the stomach bug going around? we are traveling with elderly so hope to avoid it if possible.
 
We are from MN-yes if it's windy it goes right through you! I wouldn't have believed it but-it was COLD!! Hopefully by Feb the cold snap (and record lows) will be gone! ;)
No stomach bug for us! Thank goodness! We found out after we got home that on the day we left 11 kids we absent in my sons class due to the bug! :scared1:

See, I tell people that it gets cold here, and my friends up north just laugh at me. However, 50 here feels differently than 50 up north. I was so cold all last winter, and this winter has started way too early for my liking. We are never this cold this time of year.

Glad you enjoyed the trip though -- for the most part. I've been wanting to try O'Hana's. Guess we definitely will have to.
