My ADR's and wanted a couple opinions

[pluto77]

I haven't posted on this site in quite some time (just busy with other things I guess), but I have been lurking more again lately and hoping to get back into it. I noticed some other people were sharing their ADR's so I thought I'd share mine and maybe get some opinions. We are lucky to be going during a time when the free dining plan is offered.

Sanaa Restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge (lunch)
'Ohana (breakfast)
Kouzzina by Cat Cora (dinner) It's at the Boardwalk
San Angel Inn (lunch)
Tokyo Dining (dinner)
Tusker House (Breakfast)
Tony's Town Square (lunch)

I may still make a change if I find something else, but that is our semi-final list for now. I thought about doing Kona Cafe instead of 'Ohana. I've eaten at 'Ohana before (with my family) and loved it, but I've been reading that Kona Cafe is also good. What do you guys think?

Also, there is only 2 of us, both adults going (both 25). Do you think we are going to look silly at the character breakfasts. :lol: I'm sure it will be a different experience, but still fun of course.

My partner and I went two years ago, and we're both in our mid-20s, and we did Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's, and didn't feel out of place at all. We said hello to all of the characters and got our pictures taken with some, and had a great time. So enjoy yourself and don't overthink it!

My hubby and I did a few character meals on our couples trip last August. We had a blast and really enjoyed the character interaction!

I love Kona Cafe but if I had to choose I would do Ohana over it. We actually have an ADR for both Kona Cafe and Ohana for our next trip this September but we are paying out of pocket for the Kona Cafe for breakfast and using our DDP credit for Ohana.

Sanaa is terrific...definitely a hidden gem on property. If you are doing breakfast, I recommend Kona over Ohana (unless you're heart is set on a character meal). The food is definietely a step up at Kona over the family style service of Ohana.

I think the character meals are fine for people w/ kids or without.

'Ohana for breakfast - One of the best breakfasts at WDW. :slurp:
Tusker House for breakfast - I believe this is called Donald's Safari Breakfast - Good food & fun characters.
Tony's Town Square for lunch - Have eaten there for a Magical Gatherings breakfast & it was great, but have never eaten there for lunch.

I have not eaten at the other ones you have listed.

:wave:

Good to hear about Sanaa. We heard that Boma was really good, but lunch fit into our schedule better for going to Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Boma doesn't do lunch apparently. Either that or they were all booked up for lunch the day we wanted. Sanaa got just as good reviews online so figured that we'd try it. The animals are outside the windows too I hear so that is a big plus.

I think I am going to stick with 'Ohana. Kona Cafe does sound good and I'm sure I'll try it some day, but he's never been to Disney World so I think he'll like the fun atmosphere that 'Ohana has. Doing both and just paying out of pocket for Kona isn't a bad idea either though. The prices don't seem that bad there.

I am going to have a rewards card from my Disney Visa Card. Does anyone know if you can use those at table service restaurants?

 

[mouselvrmom]

Yes, you can use your rewards card at the restaurants. We've done that in the past and it worked well.

 

[pluto77]

Awesome, thanks!

Ive had Tony's and Ohana.Tony's was good. I am a majority here but I'll never step foot in Ohana again. Tried twice and hated it.

The only one on that list I have had was Ohana breakfast. I thought it was good. Nothing special compared to other places but good. The characters are good there as well. I think you will enjoy it. The views are nice in that restaurant too.
