O'Hana breakfast

[princessesintraining]

We are staying at the Poly in August and the airline just bumped our flight to 12:30. I just booked a 7:45 breakfast at 'Ohana for 4 people. Assuming Magical Express pickup is 9:30ish, will we have enough time to eat and enjoy 'Ohana a bit? I do a have reservation for earlier in the week, but if this last day breakfast will work, I'll cancel it and schedule a dinner that night somewhere. Thanks!

It's spelled 'Ohana. It's not an Irish restaurant. It's Polynesian themed. 'Ohana means family.

Since you are staying at the Poly, I think that an 'Ohana breakfast would work just fine. I'd have all my things ready to leave before breakfast and might even leave my carryons with bell services to pick up on the way to ME if my room was far away from the lobby. I'd try to check in early at the restaurant and cross my fingers that there isn't a long wait!

We had breakfast here in September and it look about an hour. They seemed to have it timed pretty well that most sections were sat/finished at the same time. You should have plenty of time with a 7:45 reservation. If nervous, you could ask them to settle the check right when you sit down so you don't have to wait around for that when finished eating. I really enjoyed this breakfast, the food was great.

Your ME pick up time is the time the bus will be pulling away from the curb. You and your carry-on baggage need to be on the bus well before that. Disney suggests you be at the pick up place no later than 15 min before your time slot with bags in hand.

If you do airline check-in before breakfast and you can get to your ADR a little early and do as PP suggested and pay upfront, you'll probably be fine. If your pick up time is earlier than 9:30 (it does depend on other pick ups going on), you could be pushing it. You'll have that time the night before, so technically, you could still cancel, but if you've already cancelled the one earlier in the week, you'll miss it.
