‘Ohana has done it again!
Five months ago, the Polynesian Resort’s “meat-fest” bested quite a cast of competitors to become the All in WDW Readers’ Favorite Buffet/Family Style Restaurant. Now, in our most controversial poll to date, it has been crowned “champion” one more time – our Favorite Monorail Loop Restaurant.
Is ‘Ohana the best restaurant in Walt Disney World? I think most of us – the fans that participated in this week’s voting – would agree that …
… there are better restaurants in Mickey’s World. Or, in Orlando, Or, in your own home town. For example, I can tell you for a fact that our favorite restaurant of all restaurants is actually in Atlanta.
When it comes to California Grill and Victoria & Albert’s, they are undoubtedly better restaurants. That’s why they are counted amongst Disney’s collection of Signature establishments. And, when it comes to Kona, one of our Facebook friends said it best … “Kona is only in the final because it gets ‘Ohana’s overflow and has become the choice for those who don’t like the prices and volume of food at ‘Ohana.” I have to admit that we, too, have fallen into that category.
But, having said all of this, how can any of us doubt that ‘Ohana is a – or the – favorite of WDW fans far-and-wide? We can’t. I mean, I’m sure that somewhere along the way, we’ve all tried to schedule an ADR (Advanced Dining Reservation) only to be turned away by a full house of guests. Yes, the Poly’s flagship food-festival earns this “title” as well as the one it earned back in December.
Congratulations, ‘Ohana … you are a two-time champ!
Cheers, everyone! We’re halfway through the work week! Yay!
Hello, Tambu!
Our favorite bar!
Time for the “meat fest”!
Is it just that some of the other entries are less tried? I like O’hana, but……
I think that’s pretty much been the consensus (main gripe) about this particular poll.
For years, we went to ‘Ohana every trip. Rachel loves the salad dressing and I love the wings. We usually got sub-standard service and overcooked proteins, We’d say “let’s avoid ‘Ohana for a while”. Then, when it’s time for ADRs six months later, one of us inevitably makes one for ‘Ohana.
For me, it was the noodles. I REALLY love those noodles.
