Tell me about Oga's

[DrunkJam]

I just added this ADR to my upcoming trip.
I've never booked a non DDP ADR before. But, I saw some reviews and was intrigued, plus this trip is my adult beverage and one off experience trip.
I have a lunch ADR.
Any experiences? Recommendations?

1. Get ADR
2. On the day check in with a CM at the time of your ADR
3. Wait in line to get to the host stand, usually about 10 minutes
4. Depending on your party size, the host will make a group of 6 people
5. The host will bring you to your assigned area, either a standing table, a booth or at the bar
6. When you are assigned a space, you have to stay in that space for the duration of your visit. Once you leave that space, it will be assigned to someone else
7. A server or bar tender will take your order, maximum 2 drinks per person.
8. When the server brings the drinks, they will also bring the check and you will be expected to pay.
9. When you finish your drinks and are ready to leave, then you can have a walk around
10. DJ Rex is an animotronic DJ playing music. He is located in a alcove of one of the walls. Depending on your assigned area you may not be able to see him. He was originally part of Star Tours and his ship crash landed in Batuu and he is now employed by Oga to entertain guests in the Cantina.

The standing tables are high
Check out the menu online, so that you know what to expect
Its loud and crowded
Servers and bar tenders may stay in character

It's a bar, so there isn't much food. A couple snacky things, no meals. "Lunch" is just the time of day, this caused a lot of confusion when ADRs were first released.

A few clarifications from the above post:

1. Get ADR
2. On the day check in with a CM at the time of your ADR - Get in the line and a CM with a tablet will come by and check you in. If there is no line, go to the host stand.
3. Wait in line to get to the host stand, usually about 10 minutes - They usually call names while you're in line after checking in. You may not make it to the host stand before being called.
4. Depending on your party size, the host will make a group of 6 people - We were always called with just our own party
5. The host will bring you to your assigned area, either a standing table, a booth or at the bar
6. When you are assigned a space, you have to stay in that space for the duration of your visit. Once you leave that space, it will be assigned to someone else
7. A server or bar tender will take your order, maximum 2 drinks per person. - You don't need to order both at once.
8. When the server brings the drinks, they will also bring the check and you will be expected to pay.
9. When you finish your drinks and are ready to leave, then you can have a walk around
10. DJ Rex is an animotronic DJ playing music. He is located in a alcove of one of the walls. Depending on your assigned area you may not be able to see him. He was originally part of Star Tours and his ship crash landed in Batuu and he is now employed by Oga to entertain guests in the Cantina

That's all very helpful, I'll be on my own, so I shall be ready to socialise. I have looked at the menu, and am intrigued. I have a dinner ADR elsewhere, so, this is really just to get a drink, and check it out. I might try the snack mix if I feel some thing to soak up alcohol may be useful. Concern is, everything I have read says everything is really sweet.
Also, happy to read I can walk around on the way out, so I can take some pics then?

1. Depending on your party size, the host will make a group of 6 people - we were a group of 4 and entered and seated as a group of 4.
2. The host will bring you to your assigned area, either a standing table, a booth or at the bar
3. When you are assigned a space, you have to stay in that space for the duration of your visit. Once you leave that space, it will be assigned to someone else. Now we always had someone at our area, but we looked all over the bar while we had our drinks.
4. A server or bar tender will take your order, maximum 2 drinks per person.
5. When the server brings the drinks, they will also bring the check and you will be expected to pay. We never paid until we had ordered our last drinks and were ready to leave.

My responses were based on our experience in October. Things may have changed since then.
