'Ohana from Wishes

[saintsfanshelly]

If Wishes is at 8pm, would we have enough time to get to our Ohana 930pm ADR? Also, is the quality still there that late to the restaurant closing?

I would say no. There will be a TON of people exiting after Wishes. Even though the Poly is very close, you will likely be in quite a line to get on any mode of transportation.

Why not try watching Wishes from the TTC? I would suggest the Poly beach, but I think it may be closed to non-resort guests right now because of all the construction.

Thirdly, when we ate there around a year ago we had probably one of the worst dining experiences of my life. The service was just... astoundingly bad. But, I hear that the restaurant is just really hit and miss. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it is a disaster. I could have totally seen our meal going fantastically if our service hadn't been abysmal.

I would say definitely. Wishes is 12 minutes long. That gives you an hour and fifteen minutes to cross the lagoon. Disney itself would not recommend more time than that. And you have several options, the resort monorail, the express monorail (and walk), the ferry (and walk) or the boat (stops at GF first).

I would likely watch the show from Main Street...top is fine and then turn around and walk out. I would either take the boat (if it's there) or the resort monorail (Poly is the third stop).

I can't imagine that you won't make it across the lagoon in that time.

Thanks Liz for the encouragement. If it helps, park doesn't close until 9 that evening (Feb 24) so it might not be full on mass exodus. Plus it's a not crazy busy time of year. I have an ADR for 8:25 that night also, but when I saw one open post Wishes, I wanted to scoop it up and do the later time instead...we shall see!!

It's pretty doubtful you'd make it by 9:30 unless everything lined up exactly perfectly. I think Wishes runs what, 12 minutes? That said - I'd probably do it still if I were you. You could try watching wishes from the upstairs balcony of the train station. Then of course immediately, and quickly, go straight to the resort monorail. The resort monorail line is usually shorter than the express. You will be late, but I have always been told they hold reservations for at least 15 minutes. And after that, you may have to wait longer, but they still won't turn you away (absent something ridiculous or the resto closing time). I have been more than an hour late on two occasions (grandma lost ring; wrote down the wrong ADR time) and they took us both without so much batting an eyelash.

I mostly say I'd give it a shot because I have waited for a long time for a table between 9-10 at O'hana anyways. By the end of the night all of the backups equal out to longer waits for tables! I think I had a 45 min wait for a table of 1 on my solo trip!

Ignore 90% of that - I misread and thought you wrote that wishes was at 9! If you watch wishes from the end of main street I really do not think it would take more than 30 min to get there, is what I was going for. You'd beat most of the park out to the monorail lines. So plenty of time!

You will make it in 90 minutes. The trick will be to watch Wishes from near the Train Station and exit as soon as it leaves. Head straight for the Monorail.
