Dinner at Disney’s Ohana
Nicole and I went to Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort last night for the first time in over a decade.
We loved the wings, potstickers, chicken, and steak. The bread pudding was amazing as well. We ate way too much food but overall it was a great night out with friends and a great way to start this trip. We both said the experience and food were much better than the first time we tried Ohana all those years ago.
One really cool thing is since we had such a late reservation we got to see the fireworks at Magic Kingdom from our table. They even play the music that goes with the fireworks throughout the restaurant!
Dinner at ‘Ohana is a family-style, all-you-care-to-enjoy meal featuring Hawaiian-inspired favorites like wood-fire grilled teriyaki beef, spicy peel-n-eat shrimp, grilled chicken with guava-pineapple glaze, and signature ʻOhana noodles — finished with pineapple-coconut bread pudding for dessert!
Kick off your Disney day with the Best Friends Breakfast where Lilo & Stitch (and friends) visit your table! The breakfast menu includes scrambled eggs, Hawaiian-style ham with pineapple, fried island-style potatoes, Mickey-shaped waffles, and pineapple-coconut breakfast bread — all served family-style.
Breakfast is around $53 per adult and $33 per child (ages 3–9) for the character meal (plus tax & gratuity). And Dinner is round $65 per adult and $42 per child for the all-you-can-eat Hawaiian feast (plus tax & gratuity)

Having revisited ‘Ohana recently after many years, I can personally attest that the dining experience surpasses what I remembered from before. The warm hospitality combined with the unique mix of Hawaiian flavors brings a refreshing twist to Disney dining. One of my favorite elements was the atmosphere created by the restaurant playing the Magic Kingdom fireworks music throughout, enhancing the visual treat while we enjoyed our meal. The family-style all-you-can-eat concept makes it perfect for groups or families who want to share a variety of dishes without worrying about ordering individually. The wood-fire grilled teriyaki beef and spicy peel-n-eat shrimp stood out to me for their depth of flavor and generous portions. I highly recommend trying the guava-pineapple glazed chicken as well—it delivers a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. For dessert, the pineapple-coconut bread pudding is a standout, offering a rich yet refreshing finish that embodies the island vibe. Pairing your meal with a late reservation is also a strategic choice if you want to catch the amazing fireworks display from Magic Kingdom—a truly magical way to end your Disney day. If you’re visiting during breakfast hours, the Best Friends Breakfast with character visits from Lilo & Stitch adds a delightful and playful start for families with kids. From Mickey-shaped waffles to Hawaiian-style ham, the breakfast menu offers a fun, themed culinary experience that perfectly complements the evening meal. In terms of pricing, while ‘Ohana is a bit on the pricier side, the quality, quantity, and ambiance justify the cost, especially if you cherish unique dining moments during your Disney trip. Reservations are highly recommended to secure optimal seating, especially if you hope to enjoy the fireworks view. Overall, ‘Ohana remains a cherished dining spot in Disney World, combining great food, atmosphere, and entertainment that create memorable experiences for all ages.
