Day 5 of our 2014 Disney Trip



Sorry for the long break between posts - this month has just gotten away from me!



Our fifth day down at Disney we spent at Magic Kingdom! It was a really, really hot day...like 90+++ degrees. Our Buffalo bodies are not familiar with this kind of sun.


During the day we rode Pirates of the Caribbean (it never gets old!), WEDway Peoplemover, Hall of Presidents, Space Mountain, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, and Buzz Lightyear Ranger Spin. It was great to ride some of the classics again. It was also our first time doing the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor - OMG what a hoot! It is now on our must do for trips going forward!


We ate lunch at Tortuga Tavern. This was our first visit here and we really enjoyed it. The portions are HUGE. At first I was a little leary about only ordering one burrito, but they were very large. I would say if we had kids, two kids could probably share one burrito and be completely full.

Also on this trip we had a late afternoon snack at Pinocchio's Village Haus. This restaurant was closed for renovation last time we here down at Disney. They serve a bunch of different flatbreads. We tried the BBQ chicken flatbread and it was delicious.


This night was our BIG dinner of the trip. So many friends recommended dinner at 'Ohana so we had to try it out. As I mentioned earlier I LOVE the Poly. It is so beautiful and the hotel's theming is beautiful, so I was excited to be back for dinner here.


Holy smokes that is a lot of food. When our friends recommended 'Ohana for dinner, they talked about all of the meat skewers and how delicious the food is. What they left out was the skewers were only part of the all you can eat meal!


First course - their signature welcome bread. It is a soft bread that is filled with pineapple - so good! Next are the Honey Coriander Chicken Wings - delicious! Then the server brought out our salad - it is a mixed green salad with a mango dressing. Then we were brought vegetarian lettuce wraps. Then we were brought pork fried dumplings (OMG these were amazing and we ordered seconds). Are you full yet? You can't be because next are the skewers - there are three to try! Pork Loin, sirloin steak and shrimp. All were fabulous. Oh and I forgot the sides: you get BOTH asian style egg noodles and stir fried vegetables. And if dinner was not enough (it is all you can eat...you can request more of anything!) there is also dessert. The dessert served is a bread pudding with ice cream and caramel sauce. I did not think I would like it but it was amazing!

We will definitely be going back again! This would be a great place for families because all of the food is served family style and kids will definitely get a kick out of that.


After dinner, we waddled over to the boat launch to get back to the Magic Kingdom. We ended up making it in perfect time to see the Wishes Fireworks show. It was the perfect end to another great day at Disney.

Oh and how could I forget...after Wishes we booked it to our resort bus stop and...a bus was there and we did not have to wait! SCORE!
