I truly enjoy all things Disney and this was a great experience that captured all the things I love about Disney!! Unbeknownst to me, I was able to book a character dining experience for the family even though we weren't staying at a Disney Resort We had a few first-timers with us and I believe everyone needs to have this experience at least once when visiting the most magical place on earth!! It's been several years since I've actually been to a character dining but this was just as enjoyable as I remember!! From the staff taking us to our seat to the server working our table and the characters working the room, it was great!! The staff made sure that our family was able to visit with all 4 characters and encouraged patrons to stick around if they haven't already met each. The food was plentiful and tasty!! I love a family-style dining experience that caters to the needs of everyone in the party! Even though we didn't have any dietary restrictions in our group, Ryan still asked. It was a well-balanced brunch and everyone was pleased The Hawaiian themed decor, the views from the window, and the festive music playing in the background made all the difference in the dining experience and I'd definitely go back again!! read more

This place is just ok in my opinion. The famous Ohana noodles: overhyped and too sweet! I had the noodles at Kona Cafe for lunch and it was way better with more balanced flavor. Too much food, the steak was fatty and chewy, the chicken weird flavor. The wings and dumplings were good and crispy. The shrimp was with an old bay seasoning. The guy who was supposed to play the ukulele was going around asking everyone what they were celebrating. I told him the first time eating those noodles. read more

We really enjoyed this Ohana dining experience! Like all Disney table service restaurants, you definitely want to get a reservation! If you're staying at a Disney property you can book all your dining reservations for your entire trip starting 60 days before your check-in date. This restaurant is located in the main building at the Polynesian resort which is very conveniently located on the monorail line. We were seated right at our reservation time. The dining room is large and bustling. The tables are close together, so there is not a ton of privacy. Our server was very friendly and helpful and explained that this is an "all you care to enjoy" dining experience which in Disney language means they will keep bringing you more food if you want it. I tried the Mai Tai cocktail (included with the dining plan) which was a truly authentic, tasty, and strong drink! You start with a platter of their famous Ohana noodles and other small items like gyoza and chicken wings. The famous noodles are truly very good and wonderfully flavored. Next they will bring you a platter of assorted entree items including shrimp, beef, and chicken. The beef was tender and a nice and flavorful sauce, but I actually enjoyed the chicken more which was a thin and flavorful grilled boneless breast. Again, you can ask for more of anything you want until you are full! The dessert is the Ohana pineapple bread pudding with ice cream which was a delicious and unique take on the standard bread pudding. The pineapple really added unique flavor and texture to the dish. Overall, this was a great dining experience! We look forward to returning on our next visit! read more

Everything is so good. Service is great. Inside is so beautiful. Must do every single trip. Bread and salad was delicious. Noodles, dumplings, and chicken wings were so good and we absolutely enjoyed a couple rounds of these. Veggies definitely could've been better (bland). So glad the meats were changed and reminded of before the pandemic. I definitely miss when they would go around with meats on stakes and serve that way. Steak was easily the best meat in rotation. Pudding tasted great, but portion and presentation was definitely disappointing. Love this place so much. We recommend coming in around 9 so you can watch fireworks show while eating dessert 10/10 experience. read more

This Hawaiian bbq restaurant is delicious! Its family style, so they bring you plates of food to pick out of. For dinner, you start with bread, lo mein, dumplings, wings, and veggies. Then they bring you beef, shrimp, and chicken. Come hungry because they serve you a lot of food! Service is great! Our server was able to substitute food my kid didn't like to ensure she has a great dining experience! Pro tip: come for dinner at night to see the fireworks from your table! read more

I remember the food being much better here and was underwhelmed with the food. The lay out of the restaurant wasn't great to see all of the characters and it was pretty dark inside. You're paying for the experience not the food. Character interaction was very cute. Servers were friendly and helpful. The stitch waffles were a cute addition aside from the usual Mickey ones. read more

As friendly a check in area as you can ask for. Our waiter was polite and wonderful. That's where it ends. Used to like this place for food. Pot Stickers were the definition of mediocre.

Ok I now understand what the hype is all about, I didn't understand that it's a pre fixe menu and some feel it's a bit pricey. However the amount of food you get is ridiculous and they will keep bringing you more until you say otherwise.

I can't recommend this place enough. read more

We came here over the weekend with family and really enjoyed our time! Reservations are highly recommended, but extremely easy to make through the app! Upon arriving you check in and then wait for your name to be called. The service was great and very prompt! No sooner did we sit down did the food start to come out! Everything we had was impeccable!! The food is served family style and has an "all you care to enjoy" motto so you are able to ask for seconds (or thirds!) of any piece of the meal! Everything we had was delicious, my favorite was the potstickers and the bread pudding! The atmosphere is great, with live music during your meal as well! The only down side we encountered: We had our two month old daughter with us and were told that we weren't allowed to bring our stroller into the dinning area, that we would need to park it. We found this a bit frustrating because she's not old enough to be sitting in the high chairs provided by the restaurant, so having her in the stroller would have made it so she could sleep while we were at the table. Instead my husband and I had to take turns holding her in order to be able to eat. Totally understand from a safety aspect that strollers take up space, but we felt it was unfair that some strollers were allowed and others weren't, it seemed like it just depended on who you got when your name was called! Overall we really enjoyed our experience here and look forward to coming back again in the future! read more

We used our food package to dine here with my son, his wife, and the ever amazing Grace. Eclectic food is about the right description. This is an all-you-can-eat. Openders was a salad with its own special dressing. The dressing was amazing, second was a skillet of chicken wings, noodles, stir-fry veggies, and pork wonton. Next came the teriyaki beef and grilled chicken. Our server mentioned the chicken was her favorite. My favorite was the teriyaki beef, and it was so good. Lastly came their version of bread pudding. The bread was infused with pineapple and coconut with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I know it sounds like too much food, and it was. I forgot there was a bowl of peel-and-eat shrimp that no one seemed to want to try. This was $67 per adult and $44 for the child. I would say the value-to-price ratio is spot on. read more

Dinner at Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort. I've never had all you can eat, but the servers bring it out to you. I was skeptical at first because I personally like walking around and grabbing what I want to eat, but it worked out well. The Asian/Hawaiian dishes were delicious. The bread they give you in the beginning was perfect to wet our appetite as we were starving after our long day out at EPCOT. I thought the food was all well seasoned and the bread pudding at the end was delicious. Definitely make reservations beforehand, because this place gets packed! And when you check in, it's not at the restaurant, but at the podium near the stairs. read more

Ohana is one of my top favorite Disney restaurants. Well, it used to be. Pre-COVID. We haven't been in about 6 years. And it was a very different experience. The food was still just as delicious as I remember. However, the service is very different. The servers to not come around with skewers of food anymore. There is no more "showy" aspect. It is brought out family style. Which is fine, but it don't embody to spirit of Ohana's that I loved. The ukulele player was there. And played just a little bit. I remember it being more of a show. They also used to have the kids do little races and parades while they played music, and that is all gone. Overall, the food is still delicious, but the ambiance has changed. I feel bad for the people that never got to experience the Ohana's that I knew and loved. read more

The place is unsanitary. I have lost my appetite as my family is right now seated at a table near adjoined with a guy who has a cold and is snorting and coughing all over the place. Ohana can do much better by removing a table in each row to give more space and keep things sanitary. Update: started 3 days after my time at Ohana breakfast - I am now fighting the same symptoms our dining neighbor had. I can't stress enough how this restaurant needs more space between tables. Our server was great. Staff were very nice read more

Ohana is part of the iconic Polynesian Resort on Disney property, and I think it might just be my favorite restaurant of all time. The experience here truly can't be beat. It's nonstop delicious food, live entertainment, top-notch service--and if you book a later dinner, you can step outside afterward and watch the fireworks from the pool area. What's better than that? The décor and overall vibe instantly make you feel like you've been transported straight to Hawaii. From the warm lighting to the tropical details, it's just such a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Now, the food--everything was absolutely delicious. From the warm bread and butter to the shrimp, the wings, and that incredible dessert...I think I literally licked all 10 of my fingers. The family-style dining is perfect, and it really fits the vibe because Ohana means family. Bring everyone with you!! We did end up waiting about 15-20 minutes past our reservation time because they were running behind, but honestly, it wasn't a big deal. We wandered around the Polynesian, browsed the gift shop, and snagged a few things--no time wasted at all. Overall, I highly recommend Ohana. It's a full experience, not just a meal. read more

Have dined here several times for each meal over ten years. Dinner is well worth the cost. Breakfast is not. Let's break it down. Both meals are family style. Dinner has multiple proteins, steak, chicken, shrimp. A platter with noodles, veggies, dumplings, some pineapple coconut bread, and a few other items. It's expensive BUT all you can eat and delicious. The noodles and the steak are the stars. If you go near fireworks time and are seated before the show (beware, people don't leave so tables don't turnover for around an hour before the show), I've never regretted going here. Breakfast is slightly cheaper and also all you can eat. Very standard Disney breakfast fare, bacon, eggs, Mickey waffles, etc. It's a character dining with Lilo, Stitch, Mickey, and Pluto. It's cute but one of the least worth it character breakfasts on property imo. The food is just so sub par and there's nothing special about this meal. read more

Came here on a whim for brunch, we got a last minute reservation and really wanted to see Lilo and stitch! The food was pretty underwhelming, the only thing we really enjoyed were the waffles, potatoes and fruit. Everything else was just okay. The draw here is definitely character dining and not so much the food. The characters (Lilo, stitch, Mickey and Pluto) only come out during breakfast and not dinner! read more

About to have an early dinner at Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Resort. Check in was a cinch with the MyDisney App. We had 5 people (including an infant in our party). Theirs is a set family menu starting with salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, a julienne of carrots and bell peppers, red onions accompanied by a sweet vinaigrette. The pineapple bread comes out warm with a honey-butter pad. A tray of honey-coriander sweet chicken wings (flats) and drumettes, absolutely scrumptious pork dumplings tossed in a garlic-chili sauce, as well as a medley of perfectly cooked teriyaki stir-fry vegetables are all served on a bed of sweet Ohana noodles. The sides are accompanied by the mains: Polynesian style wood fire-grilled options of black pepper teriyaki beef, chicken with guava-pineapple glaze, and seasoned peel-n-eat shrimp. They have a vegan menu and their dessert is an out-of-this-world warm bread pudding à la mode, featuring coconut and pineapple flavors, showered with a delicious caramel sauce . Our stars of the meal were the pork dumplings which were just the best ever, crunchy and delicious, the grilled chicken with the guava-pineapple sauce, and the fabulous dessert. The table service is a prompt (too prompt this time), helpful (and a seamlessly-rushed) experience; that Disney style we've come to experience lately. Multiple servers came sporadically to our table, but our main one was Boyson; he was super busy, thus understandably, not always available. There was one live music segment of Hawaiian music, ukulele and all. The restaurant has different size table settings to accommodate parties from small tables for two to larger families of 12 or more. The chairs are comfortable, they have high chairs upon request. Strollers are not allowed inside the restaurant to make it safe for all and ensure comfortable spaces and access. Their decoration hasn't changed much. Hawaiian colors and accents frame a beautiful backdrop of the hotel's iconic Seven Seas Lagoon and surrounding grounds. At night you can see the Magic Kingdom fireworks from certain angles at the main dining room. Over the years, we've come to Ohana and have been pleased with their food and especially their service. However, it is absolutely worth noting that their service in the past had better cadence; it felt more relaxed and better coordinated. This time, both service and entertainment, although fun and friendly, felt so rushed. They didn't check in on us as we would have liked, and we got the bill no sooner than we put down the dessert spoon. Like, "Off you go!" This restaurant works in a schedule of seatings, or turn-based service, so timing is crucial to feel you're enjoying a few courses of an "all-you-care-to-eat" menu and to justify the cost... well, this is not an inexpensive meal. We'll be back, we always come back, but hopefully you'll let us savor the meal a bit longer and please, coordinate your service better! And bring back the rice! read more

Like Stitch said: " Ohana means family means no one gets left behind!" For this restaurant, Ohana means great family dinner means no one goes home hungry. First of all the atmosphere is awesome with live music, it feels like going to Hawaii for dinner, the staff were amazing they are fast and have great personalities. As the food, I love the dumplings, garlic noodles, and shrimp. They all are perfect. All the other food is tasty just my favorite are dumplings, noodles and shrimp. Also the bread pudding dessert is amazing. Will coming back here for sure!!! read more

We came to Ohana while staying at the resort for both dinner and breakfast. I can see from the other reviews, this likely won't go over well. Our first visit was for dinner, it's a large (very large) room, with decent decor and nice views of the lake outside. I didn't expect anything intimate (it is in a Disney resort), but it kind of had a cafeteria feel to it. The service for dinner was fine, our server was definitely more into efficiency; and she likely has to be to serve the masses. But we didn't see her much. We would've liked to order a few cocktails with dinner and we couldn't because she just never came back. I'm going to assume alot of the dinners either don't drink or are one and done (so we were out of norm here). She explained how it worked (AYCE), which typically gives me concern, but with all the glowing reviews, this place had to be good (right?). First, their bread, or their "Signature Bread", which is a pretty dense loaf, sweet with flavors of coconut and pineapple. I don't do sweet for dinner, but my wife and kid weren't a fan either...too dry and dense, it wasn't their thing. It also came out with a salad, a pretty basic mix of greens, tomatoes, peppers, red onions, carrots, and a cloyingly sweet dressing. Okay, but it's just bread and salad...what should I be expecting? Next, the Ohana Dinner Skillet with: Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings, Pork Dumplings Tossed In Garlic-Chili Sauce, Wood Fire-grilled Black Pepper-Mirin-Teriyaki Beef, Peel-n-Eat Shrimp coated with 'Ohana Seasoning, Grilled Chicken with Guava-Pineapple Glaze, 'Ohana Noodles with Mirin-Teriyaki, Stir-fried Vegetables. This sounded promising. I love wings, and who doesn't like shrimp, and beef (although what kind?). It looked halfway decent over piled in its dish too. The wings had a beautiful glaze and were calling my name. I sunk my teeth in and felt instant regret. They were wings, with some sauce, although they were cooked long ago, recently glazed with a sauce that, other than sweetness, lacked flavor. Onto the dumplings, the same, cooked long ago, dry and flavorless. Okay, time to try something else, the chicken which I could smell cooking from their exposed kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. They were thighs (which are a safe bet if you don't want them to be overcooked), they had a good flavor from the glaze, and a char around the edges, which I like. These were good (I took a sip of my Backscratcher cocktail and began to relax again). I saw vegetables, and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Each one with the right amount of bite. Great...we're back on track for a four-star meal! Then the beef, this by far had to be the most disappointing item I ate all week. It was way beyond overcooked, I couldn't tell you what cut it was but it certainly didn't get better from the over-well-done cooking and the fact that it was (again) cooked long ago. Chewy and flavorless, other than the teriyaki glaze that was added last minute but did nothing to help matters. I choked down a bite of that and then moved to the noodles. They had good flavor, but like most everything else had sat and due to this they coagulated into a mass. Last to try was the shrimp. I peeled one open, the shell sticking to the meat underneath, and I knew where this was headed. I took a bite, the flavor was good, but the shrimp was way overcooked, nearly mushy. At this point, we looked over our barely touched food and wondered, how can people order refills of this stuff? Which they were as the plates continued to come out in droves. The dessert was bread pudding, which I think was from the leftover bread we started with (good use of leftovers), but it wasn't that good, although the vanilla ice cream on it was good. Dinner just wasn't good, and it is not cheap to eat here. This would've been it for us, but being Disney you make reservations 60 days out or you run the chance of not having a meal. I actually volunteered not coming back for the breakfast we had booked in a few days, but my wife reminded me of my six year old who was looking forward to the characters. So, two days later we returned, less optimistic than for dinner. Breakfast was much better than dinner, but hey, it's eggs, sausage, bacon (if you ask) and some other items. The service the same, the atmosphere the same. But the food seemed fresher and had more flavor. I might return for breakfast again, but never dinner. read more

Back to Disney to make new memories but didn't share the same magic. Had breakfast here for $53 a person for powdered eggs, Mickey waffles, sausage links, ham and crushed can pineapples and the highlight potatoes. Made a reservation, checked in online but still waited 45 min for two people. So by this point having lunch. Place filled with many large groups that made the place feel crowded when the characters are around. The interior of the hotel and restaurant seemed tired and in need of a renovation. Told them we were celebrating our anniversary and received no acknowledgment. read more

This place is so busy that the check in for the restaurant is not where the sign and hostess is. I wonder if anyone else besides me made that mistake. There's a huge waiting area with seats for those that check in on the opposing corner of the back side on the second floor. There's a nice view of the lava pool and a place to store the strollers if you have one. Check in process was fine but could be a roundabout walk if you take the wrong set of stairs. As you get taken to your seats you immediately smell a waft of yummy pineapple coconut bread. And wow this bread is so delicious. Our second set had these sweet pineapple pieces scattered through the bread. It's a must try. The restaurant is LOUD. The window seats are nice but the tables are very close together. This is a popular brunch and dinner spot but just know it's not going to be as spacious as Topolinos. The lilo juice is yummy. I think guava, passion fruit and oj? All you can eat sausage, potato's, egg, biscuit, ham and waffles. The scrambled eggs were absolutely delicious and that sausage was runner up. I loved the meal. Not too excited by how loud it could be and it felt hard to get pictures with the characters with how tight the space was. I almost felt like I bumped into my neighbors multiple times. I also had issues with the lighting for some of the pictures which is just luck on location of seating. We saw lilo, stitch, Mickey and Pluto. Otherwise it's definitely a place you should try for breakfast and lunch/dinner. I'm feeling nice today so I'm rounding up. But otherwise it would be a 4.5 rating for me. read more

It is wild, having lived in Orlando long enough, to have not visited this institution of Walt Disney World. It's clear from the service that the service staff loves working here, and their care for special requests and that signature Disney service comes through. Coming in with a group of 5, it was wonderful to enjoy skillets full of Asian/island flavors, and we especially loved the pork potstickers, sirloin steak and peel-and-eat shrimp - and even nicer to not have to worry about ordering something we didn't like, because all in this family service meal was included under the single price. I have marked a 4 based on two elements for my experience: - the dining room is extremely loud, either from the clink and clank of diners or the volume level of the roaming ukulele player, who while enjoyable, made it a little more difficult to maintain discussion, - we tried the Plant Based Skillet in addition to the regular meat skillet and if I had ordered plant-based, I would have been disappointed. The edamame version of the potstickers were dry and the textures of the plant based meats were just too soft and gummy compared to the real meat. A plant based "sausage" included has no island flavors and instead tasted like a breakfast sausage - it did not flow with the rest of the sauces and flavors. read more

First, the good: Pretty much all of the food was delicious as always. Especially the salad, the bread and special butter, the pork dumplings, the steak, the shrimp, and OF COURSE the bread pudding dessert. The wings are fine but none of us are big fans of chicken wings so I don't want to judge them :) (Unfortunately the entree chicken was so smokey that it was almost inedible.) I would rate this restaurant 5 stars but I still miss the potato dish they got rid of because of 'trans fats' (sorry not sorry, the noodles are good but they aren't THAT good). I also miss when they served the food from actual skewers. Our main server was great but I ordered a drink toward the end of the meal and it took a while to arrive - I ordered it before we were served dessert, and just to be clear this was obviously not the server's fault and I didn't mind waiting - but the person who was bussing our table didn't seem happy that we were still sitting there as long as we were, because we finished the dessert and had even received the check a while before the drink was delivered. (Kind of hovering and giving us what appeared to be a bit of a stink eye. Which is in a way understandable, I worked in the restaurant industry for many years and know they have to flip the tables, but the first round of bar drinks we ordered arrived so fast that I didn't think it would take so long for the last one.) Overall this is still one of the best dinners at WDW and we all really enjoyed it. I just miss the better aspects that they've gotten rid of over the years, and didn't love that I felt rushed toward the end because of a drink I ordered before we were even served dessert. read more

I've done a lot of character dining with my 4 yr old son and it's usually done well. This was not. I get the theme they're going for is family but it leaves a lot of room for errors and food waste by here have your plate, the end. I specifically asked for the vegan option since I don't eat meat even though my son does. They got it wrong and served us the meat option so I got sick later, of course. They didn't seem to care either, which is odd because I've seen other Disney establishments bend over backwards to accommodate food preferences and allergies. Here they seem to just be trying to dump lukewarm plates as quickly as possible without checking they got it right. As far as the character experience, it was a lot of nothing, then they breezed through for 10 seconds and left like they were never there. They could do with a song the characters dance to or a second pass like storytellers, chef Mickey, goofys kitchen, artist point, or really almost every other character experience offers. That being said, I wouldn't return. I'll book at the character dining that offers better food options and better interactions. read more

Unfortunately, the food and service have declined. The server we had was very inattentive. We saw other tables servers more than our own. This alone wouldn't warrant a low star rating, but the food quality has significantly changed since our last visit in November of 25. Nothing special with the starters of salad and bread. The worst of this was seeing the bread being unwrapped as we were leaving as it was just delivered off the truck. It was also served cold. We have been here several times, and I remember it being an outstanding experience, one which people fought to get a reservation. There was a review that said the food was mid...I will go one step father and say that was an overstatement. The food overall is inconsistent in flavor and temp between rounds, lacking flavor over all dishes. The steak is bad, and comes closer to medium rare which isnt a popular option for most people. The peel and eat shrimp have no flavor even though they appear to be coated in something. The dumplings are hit and miss...one moment they are just right, the next time they are soft with no crunch, lacking filling or unfavorable. Im just extremely dissapointed in the product they are presenting now as a whole. Oh, the employees appear to be unhappy. When we would dine here in the past, the servers, hosts, even the performers would pick your spirits up with their friendliness, kindness, and attentiveness. This is no longer the case! The ambience has taken a hit as well...this place use to feel magical, and have a but of mystic because of the difficulty to secure a reservation. It has lost that feeling. I really hope they fix this...Ohana used to be a budget friendly 4 to 5 star dining experience compared to the more expensive offerings. Now it is no better than a fast food restaurant. Good luck in your experience! Hopefully yours is better than mine. Before I forget....the water is terrible...taste like sulfur. Even flavored drinks struggle to mask the taste....so you have been warned!! read more

We've been going to ʻOhana at Disney's Polynesian Resort for years, and it is hands down my favorite restaurant on all of Disney property. It's all-you-care-to-enjoy, which means nonstop deliciousness--tender meats, potstickers, noodles, vegetables, the most amazing Hawaiian coconut bread, and the dreamy bread pudding for dessert. If you time your dinner just right, you can watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks while you eat, which feels extra magical. As a vegetarian, I'm always blown away by how accommodating they are. They create a special vegetarian entrée every time, and it's always a little different--but always incredible. The fun starts the moment you walk in. You're greeted with "Welcome, cousins!" because ʻOhana means family. There's live music, a ukulele player wandering around singing, and a warm, happy atmosphere that instantly puts you in vacation mode. After dinner, you can explore the beautiful Polynesian Resort, browse the gift shops, and if by some miracle you're still hungry, grab a Dole Whip by the pool. Great food, great vibes, Disney magic everywhere--ʻOhana is easily one of my top favorite restaurants ever. read more

I have always heard such good reviews of 'Ohana from everyone, but i just didn't like the food. The service is excellent. Every staff member was kind and helpful. We were able to watch the fireworks from our table, and they even play the music that goes a long with the fireworks. That being said, with the exception of the bread, noodles, and dessert, I am not a fan of the food. I do like how it is served family style, but the meat all tasted overcooked to me. This particular shrimp they served was supposed to be warm, but the temperature and taste seemed like it had been sitting out for a bit. The price is just a little high for the quality of the food. read more

Breakfast at 'Ohana unfolded much the way you hope a Disney morning will. The food was comforting and plentiful, the room warm and buzzing, and the character interactions--Stitch included--were brief but genuinely present. There was time for photos and autographs, and nothing felt rushed or transactional. We used the Disney Dining Plan table-service credits for this meal, so the food and drinks were included as part of our plan--one table-service credit per person. The total came to just over $212, which mattered mainly because it helped us understand the value being covered by the credits and calculate a fair tip. And then there was a small moment--one that almost certainly only registered with me. I ordered the Backscratcher, a drink that traditionally comes with its own little piece of playful lore. It arrived quietly, placed on the table without comment, the backscratcher laid flat, stamped clearly with "Oriental Trading Company." No flourish, no storytelling, no connection made between the drink and the place we were sitting in. It didn't ruin the experience--not at all--but it did gently loosen the spell for a second. This is very much a me thing. Most people wouldn't notice, and most wouldn't care. But at 'Ohana--where atmosphere and intention usually work together so beautifully--that small detail stood out simply because everything else was done so well. We still left smiling, with photos, autographs, and a sense of having shared a joyful morning together. 'Ohana remains a place of warmth and welcome. For those who pay attention to the smallest threads of story, there's just a little room here to weave the magic a bit tighter. read more

'Ohana is a fun and classic Disney dining experience that definitely has its charm. The atmosphere is great and both breakfast and dinner have some really tasty menu items. You will definitely never leave hungry. There's almost too much food, which can make it hard to really savor everything that comes to the table. While the food and experience are enjoyable, it does come with a pretty hefty price tag. For me, it's not always the best value compared to other Disney dining options, but it's still worth doing at least once for the experience and memories. If you're looking for a family-style meal where the portions are generous and the setting feels distinctly Disney, 'Ohana delivers. The service is always good, and the breakfast is fun, featuring some Disney characters, which I almost wish were included at dinner also! read more

My family, (now wife) and I went here for breakfast to celebrate our engagement and as tricky as this is to reserve, it did not disappoint in my opinion. I'm picky about my eggs but| loved how they did their scrambled eggs. We loved everything on the skillets and my fiancé who's vegetarian had lots of amazing options she loved. Got an amazing few of the castle and the Polynesian water park, and the staff was amazing to us. Our favourite place now to grab breakfast at Disney World. read more

The restaurant is very unique and the service is good. The problem is the price is crazy and although the food is good I just don't think it justified the price tag even by Disney standards. read more

I haven't been to 'Ohana since 2005, but it was always my favorite character breakfast. My husband had never been to a character breakfast, so on our weekend trip to Florida, I decided to take him to 'Ohana, especially since he loves Stitch. We had the best time! His eyes lit up when he saw Stitch and he loved meeting him, as well as Lilo, Mickey, and Pluto. The food was just a delicious as I remember. The only difference is that it was served in two smaller skillets now instead of a giant wok. The Kona coffee was amazing and I LOVED the Lapu Lapu drink. The staff was so friendly and welcoming too, just as I remember from my teenage years. We are hoping to go back to Florida in April, and if we do, 'Ohana is on our to-do list again! read more
