We are trying to decide whether to do Kona Cafe or Ohana for our dinner on our one day drive-in trip to MK. We will have our one year old with us. We’ve never tried either restaurant and are excited to check out the Poly.
We currently have an ADR for Ohana at 6:40 PM. We were hoping to watch the fireworks from the beach but I realize with a 6:40 ADR that will be nearly impossible due to wait times. So, we may try to ask for a table with fireworks viewing but realize that is a long shot, especially probably on a Saturday evening. We have been hearing less than stellar reviews lately, especially regarding undercooked chicken which freaks me out.
So, we were thinking of switching to an earlier ADR at Kona Café so we could be sure to be able to see beach fireworks. However, the recent menu changes seem to have not gone over well and its “hidden gem” status seems to have diminished. But having never been before, will we be disappointed having never had previous menu items that were replaced? We are not huge Asian food/sushi lovers but the dinner menu seems pretty decent to us. Also concerned that the ambiance won’t be as good as Ohana because it’s open to the lobby (from what I gather?)
We are also curious about realistic transportation times from MK to the Poly. We’ve heard plan at least an hour but is that really necessary?
So - Ohana and risk missing fireworks or Kona Cafe and guaranteed beach fireworks?
