Priority Seating at Ohana

[KimKamMom]

HI ALL,
I AM GETTING READY TO MAKE MY PRIORITY SEATING CALL FOR OHANA.
I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND A 6 YEAR OLD. THEY WOULD BOTH LOVE THE COCONUT RACES ETC.
WHERE SHOULD I ASK TO BE SEATED?
OTHERS HAVE RECOMMENDED THE WINDOWS FOR THE FIREWORKS OVER THE CASTLE, BUT WE NEED TO EAT EARLIER WITH YOUNG CHILDREN.
THANKS,
DONNA

I *believe* that you can only request certain seating areas when you check in that night, so it wouldn't matter when making a PS. I would get there a few minutes before your PS and just ask the podium hostesses to place you someplace close to the action, there are alot of tables in that area, it shouldn't be a big deal to do that.

We ate there twice during our July trip (can you tell we love it...). The coconut races and hula hoop contests run about every 40 minutes so you will catch them no matter when your PS is. I had one PS for 8:10pm and another for 7pm; the wait was consistently in the 30 minute range for both. It's a very busy place and you need to be prepared to wait a bit longer than a normal PS wait time. I guarantee you will not get called in the 5 minute range unless it is a miracle.
Your beeper reaches over to the gift shop, so you are free to wander around. Avoid ordering any of the appetizers that the waitresses offer--you will get more than enough to eat at the Feast.
Have a wonderful time and wear expandable pants

We sat away from the action of the coconut races but our waitor "Brother" let our kids know when it was close to time and to listen for the announcement. Then my husband and I would walk over there and watch them have fun. Hope it helps. Oh year definately wear loose fitting pants.
