How do you like my dining ressies?

[athenna]

Finally made dining ressies for father-daughter trip in March.:kickingco
Being DVC we know we'll always be going back, so we wanted to try different places to eat.
We are doing Boma for breakfast (have eaten dinner there before but not breakfast) Got 10am ressies on the day AK is having EMH so we can spend the rest of the day at AK:woohoo:
Another day we are doing Japan (Teppanyaki) for lunch (we have eaten there before but dad raves about it). Epcot has EMH that day so if dad needs a nap to stay up that late, we can go back for a nap and head back to Epcot later in the day.
And another day I have dinner ressies at Ohana's. I have always wanted to try it but was a little concerned that it's so ''kid'' oriented (not that there's anything wrong with that) but that I'd feel out of place being an adult woman w/her senior citizen father. But who the heck cares what others think, I think it will be fun. Plus dad loves the Tambu lounge (even though he doesn't drink), he just likes the atmosphere and his favorite bartender is there (hope he's there that night)
So how did I do?

ETA: The nice CM offered to check and see if she could make dining ressies for my Oct trip! I said I'd call back, not quite that organized yet!!! That may put DBF over the edge...lol...

Sounds great to me - Breakfast at Boma's is very good and good value as well - make sure you try the African dishes there on the far right if you are facing the buffet

Never eaten at O'hanas - I am sure you will fit right in!

Athenna, we tried O'Hana's for the first time on our last trip, and I don't think you'll feel out of place at all. It was very kid-friendly, but the atmosphere of the restaurant is more adult. In fact, without the kid activities, I think I would have felt weird taking kids in there. It also seemed to very a lot by where you were seated, so if you were worried about it, I'd ask for a table a little away from the action.

It all sounds good. And we love Boma, but haven't been there for breakfast. Do I understand then, jaysue, that there are African dishes for breakfast there as well as more "traditional" fare? If so, we may have to make that a stop. What was there?

On the African side of things:Brioche (like French toast, yummmy! with raisins)

Pap (white corn meal), quinoa porridge; toppings included fruits, brown sugar and cinnamon

Bobotie - corn beef, eggs, cream, potato and onion

Cured pork loin

Carved Breakfast Ham

Pressed Pot of Kenyan Coffee - Extra

***The quinoa porridge is especially good if you have anyone in the party with a gluten/wheat issue - the bobotie was delicious - the pork and ham are African spiced and cooked right there on an open fire type cook stove/fireplace

From the above site:

"Boma is a family restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. It will capture the essence of vibrant life in the African marketplace. This family-fun buffet restaurant provides guests the ability to savor the African experience, which has multicultural influences. The restaurant showcases an exhibit kitchen, wood-burning grill and rotisserie.

This is an all you can eat experience, but unlike traditional buffet lines, where you start at one end and work your way across...Boma offers "pods". Each pod has a selection of food and generally a chef nearby to answer questions."

It is worth a try

Thanks, jaysue!

Vast majority of people were avoiding the "African" dishes - we loved them - they will also "Africanise" your omelette on request as well

You are most welcome

Cheers
