Chapter 21 - "Call Me Sentimental... But I Still Miss The Screeeaming." OHANA!
February 24th, 2011
Mother and I were in the park by ourselves again so we decided to go to Peter Pan's Flight!
We talked to a precious family in front of us about how great Fastpasses are. Their daughter went to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique that day and had on a Cinderella Dress. They were just so adorable!
After our journey into Neverland, we got Winnie the Pooh Fastpasses. We took a rest at Enchanted Grove so I could catch up on my Trip Journal.
We took a few pictures in front of the castle:
Then we went over to Main Street and looked at the shops.
I got a Blue T-Shirt:
A 40th Anniversary Zip-Up Sweatshirt, which is one of my best purchases EVER. It is so beyond comfortable!
A cookbook called Delicious Disney, which is the best cookbook EVER!
It has some of the greatest Disney recipes, such as Tonga Toast from Kona, S'mores from 50's Prime Time Cafe, and Bread Pudding From Ohana. Kristen, my friend Natalie, and I actually made the Bread Pudding Recipe.. here's the link to that update in my first trip report if you would like to see some pictures: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=41423432&postcount=537
And Mother got a blue and green tote bag:
We left the Emporium, and the Main Street Electrical Parade was going on! We were located right where the floats come out onto Main Street, so that was cool! The first float we saw, though, was Pete's Dragon, so the parade was basically over.
During the parade, my friend Vickie (who went with us on the "Port Report" trip) called me and asked me why our friend Jessie and her boyfriend Elliott's facebook pages said "single?"
A little background on our friends Jessie and Elliott.. during my sophomore year we did the musical "Cinderella." Jessie was casted as Cinderella and Elliott was casted as Prince Charming. During junior year, we did the musical "Annie" and Jessie was Grace Farrell and Elliott was Daddy Warbucks. Right after Annie, the two of them began dating, and they were madly in love. We all thought they were going to get married.
Hearing that their facebook pages said "single" made me feel like my whole world was turned upside down. It was so unexpected!!
I texted Jessie and asked her what happened.
So, while all of this was going on, Mother and I took the Monorail over to the Polynesian because we had a reservation at Ohana! It was my first time trying it and I was SUPER excited to eat the food.
Then, we checked into Ohana. While I was waiting, Jessie texted me back. She called me and told me that Elliott randomly decided that he didn't know if his lifestyle was suited for the both of them, and she was DEVASTATED. The poor girl, she had fallen so hard for him and he broke her heart. It "wasn't officially over" but still, it wasn't good.
While we waited, we went in the Polynesian Gift Shop and bought some Mickey Sprinkles:
And in honor of Jessie, (and the lack of Prince Charming in my life) I found a wonderful candy box that summed up the situations:
If you all are wondering what happened with the Jessie and Elliott situation, I can give you the story considering that it is now the end of July and some time has gone by.
Elliott is a year older than us, so he was in college during this time. Him and Jessie made it through the first semester without a problem. However, (we should have seen this coming) he was at the same college as his ex-girlfriend. Bad, Bad, Bad. He actually cheated on Jessie with his ex, and that girl is very manipulative and controlling. Him and Jessie almost got back together in March, but he ended up getting back together with his ex. Very very bad. ): Nobody could believe what he did because Jessie is probably one of the sweetest people EVER. (She got voted "Class Angel" as her senior superlative, for Goodness Sakes!) and Elliott's reputation went from "The Golden Boy" to really really reallyy bad. Now the two of them no longer communicate. It really is just a sad situation.
Anyways, thanks for tuning in on the Soap Opera. Going back to Disney!
Our reservation at Ohana was for 8:10 pm, and that's just about when Dad and Jonathan arrived. We were seated about 5 minutes after they got there.
The hostess did a nice introduction and explained how the dinner is. She told us that everyone there was cousins and Ohana means family.
We were seated and we got the bread. It was AMAZING. It was probably some of the best bread I've ever eaten. It didn't even need butter, it was that good.
The next course was the salad. It had a yummy dressing on it, but it was definitely a different flavor than I would usually get. I liked it, though! It had a sweet kick to it.
Dipping Sauces, which I didn't even get to try because I was too excited:
Then next were the pot stickers and the wings. SO GOOD.
Then came the meats. YUM! My favorite was the steak, then the chicken, the shrimp, then the pork. I have heard some mixed reviews about the steak, but the night we were there, the steak was DIVINE. Probably some of the best steak I've ever eaten.
The noodles came out too. DELICIOUS! They also had a sweet kick to them.
Lastly, the Banana Bread Pudding finished up our meal. It was like Heaven on Earth on a plate. It was fantastic. Even Jonathan loved it, and he is not a big dessert person.
Throughout the whole meal, I kept saying "call me sentimental, but I still miss the screeeaming!!" in my Roz voice. It never failed to get a chuckle out of at least one person. We just thought it was so funny! I almost titled the trip report that.. I should have! It is just such a great line! Oh Roz, you kill me.
We were stuffed and satisfied, and we made our way out of Ohana. It became one of our new top favorites.

Overall Rating: 5/5

We took the monorail back to Magic Kingdom. When we got there, I was still looking at the camera. Mom was like "She's Looking at Food Pictures AGAIN!!" Hence the title of this trip report. I do that a lot.
I wanted to go back to the Magic Kingdom because it was open for another hour or two, but no one would go with me. ):
So we headed over to the busses, and the Cast Member was directing people in their intended directions. The CM asked "Does everyone know where they're going?"
Dad's Response?
"Never have, Never will."
And that, my friends, is why he was "That Guy" today. So funnyyy.
The Old Key West bus came pretty quickly, so we got on, rode it back, got off at Peninsular, and walked home.

I am trying to get an ADR for our trip but not having much luck. Will keep trying...
heartbreaks are never fun, but you girls are fabulous friends, and she will find her prince charming one day! 
All of your updates are wonderful and what happened with Jessie is just awful, she was so sweet when I met her before your prom. Hopefully we will be able to get together before the summer is over and you leave for COLLEGE!!! 
Bringing a little bit of Disney home.
LOL @ your Roz comments, I can just imagine it, well Roz saying it, but that with you... must've been hilarious.
non-disers just don't understand why food pictures are so great. your dad's response to the bus driver is pretty funny 2!
Poor Jessie. She really is better off without him!
That's why i LOVE disboards!
