    Hi, We are planning a trip for mid-Sept. I have an ADR at Ohana for 6:45. We are hoping to watch the fireworks from the beach after our dinner; however, fireworks are scheduled for 8:00. Will we have enough time to eat and get out to the beach? Thank”

    Hello Sarah.  You are going to one of my family's favourite dinner restaurants!  'Ohana has some of the best food in all of Walt Disney World, in our opinion, so make sure you are good and hungry when you get there! I really wish you had a bit more time between your reservation time and the scheduled fireworks time.  On average, I find that dinner at 'Ohana lasts around 1 1/2 hours.  Now, this can be dependent on many different factors.  How close to your reservation time will you be seated?  How efficient is your server?  Will you be wanting to enjoy any of the games or entertainment that occur during dinner? And finally, how hungry are you?  All of these factors will come into play in how long you are there.  I would hate for you to rush through such a great dining experience in order to make it to the beach for the fireworks.  Is there any chance that you will be able to view the fireworks on another night?

    Now, there's always the lucky chance that you will be seated at a table with a clear view of the fireworks - you could request this upon arrival at the restaurant, although there is no guarantee that they will be able to accommodate you.  I think it's worth a shot though, and if I were you, I would also arrive at the restaurant no later than 6:30 to check in for your reservation.

    I'm sorry I don't have a more definitive answer for you, but I wanted to be honest and let you know that with the time frame you have it really isn't a guarantee either way.  Please let me know if you have any other questions that I can answer for you.  Have a magical day!
