Late O'hana ADR

[amytong]

We have not done O'hana before (I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews lately). We have a 9:35pm ADR on our Epcot day (9pm close in June). My hope is to grab the Monorail to Poly. What time do we need to leave Epcot to make that. I'm thinking that unfortunately we will have to miss Illuminations. Thanks for the help.

The Poly is a quick walk from the TTC, so I think if you leave Epcot by 8:45pm, you should be okay. I know that sounds a little bit early, but I really like to plan in some extra time in case the of a long wait for the monorail, etc. FWIW, I had dinner at 'Ohana in January and it was great! I'd had a bad experience and stayed away for a while but they more than made up for it this time around.

No later than 8:45 I'd say. You should be okay as long as MK isn't closing at 9pm that night. It's not far of a walk from TTC so if you can't grab a quick monorail to Poly, just walk it (Less than 10 minutes with small kids)

We love late ADR's at Ohana! Check the time for Wishes, if they're at 10 you will probably be able to see them from the restaurant. They pipe the music in, it's a fun experience.

I always think 60-90 minutes. However you may encounter people leaving as the park closes at 9, so maybe even earlier - 8:30-8:45 at the latest probably! And if you're back in World Showcase remember it's quite the hike to the front of the park lol.

I agree with the others, 8:45 is the latest I would leave. I'm sorry that you'll miss Illuminations, but that 'Ohana experience is worth it!

Thanks guys! With a 10pm Wishes and 9:35 ADR, do you think there is a chance we will be seated in time to see Wishes? That would be awesome. I hadn't considered that.

In my experience it has been hit or miss. We had an 8:10 in November and we were seated at 8:45. Other times we've waited less than 10 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't seated by Wishes, but since it is a pretty late ADR, maybe you'll be seated in time!
