Disney Polynesian Resort Dining

Dining at the Polynesian Disney World Resort

Dining at a Tropical Luau can be so much fun for the family and is an experience that is not quickly forgotten and the only place in Disney World you can have this encounter is at the Disney Polynesian Resort. Book your tickets early at O’hana where the buffet is South Pacific Island style and the entertainment is fun for all. If you have not heard about Tonga Toast yet, you are in for a real treat. This delicious morning treat can be found at the Kona Cafe or at Captain Cooks. Oh, don’t forget to check out the Disney Character Breakfast at O’hana’s where your kids can meet Lilo and Stitch.

O'hana

The main, stand-out restaurant at the Disney Polynesian Resort has to be O'hana's. This is the place that everyone is talking about with it's South Pacific cuisine and island favorites. You are welcomed to your meal with the sound of the conch shell and the meals are served with a dash of island fun. Preparation of many entree's await with oak-grilled shrimp, sweet and sour chicken on grilled skewers, stir-fried vegetables, lo mein and even generous salads.

Ohana’s Best Friends Breakfast

A must-do to put on your list when staying at the Polynesian, especially if you have kids, is the Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch. Not only do you get to meet Lilo and Stitch, but the American style breakfast is also served with many desirable Polynesian flavors. This island-feel breakfast is fun for the entire family.

Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show

Many guests consider it a requirement to do the Aloha Dinner Show at O'hana's whether you stay at the Polynesian Resort or not. This is one of those experiences you will not find at any of the other Resorts and certainly not in the parks. Be sure to book this one early as it books up very quickly. Be prepared for a night of Hawaiin fun with Hula Dancing, fire dancing, and many other South Pacific rituals are performed. The food is fantastic with pulled pork, ribs, roasted chicken and vegetables. One of the best dining activities around.

Oasis Bar & Grill

No need to leave the Pool area at the Polynesian Resort just because you are hungry. Hang out a while longer and order your food from the Oasis Bar & Grill. Great Burgers, or maybe some fish tacos are more to your liking. Add your favorite adult beverage and you are set for the day by the pool.

Kona Cafe

Have you already started thinking about the Tonga Toast? Just a mention of the Kona Cafe and that is what is on my mind. There are so many great things to order from the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian Resort. Located on the 2nd floor of the main building, the Kona Cafe is an Asian inspired restaurant but in a more American style. Serving Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, the Kona Cafe is the place to go for a nice sit-down experience.

Trader Sam's Grog Grotto

If you aren't paying attention, you can walk right past the Trader Sam's Grog Grotto entrance.
