    What is the Ohana dinner like? I understand there are no characters, but perhaps a few dancers? I know it's not the full Polynesian dinner show, but I'd love to have an inside point of view for what to expect! :) Thanks! LOVE this site!

    Hi Mary!

    Disney offers guests to option to enjoy a variety of dining experiences during their stay.  From classic fish and chips to filet mignon and lobster, there are plenty of cuisines for every palate throughout the Walt Disney World Resort.

    One of my must-do dining experiences is at Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Resort.  Offering great food, good drinks and a phenomenal dessert, it is easy to see why Ohana's has become a fast favorite of many guests.  With a reservation, guests are escorted to their dining table, while a Cast Member will give you details on the history of Ohana and show you their wood fire grill area, where skewers of fresh meat and shrimp are being turned and expertly handled.  You will be served a variety of foods, from vegetables to meats, all served fresh, family style and all you can eat.  The dessert is AMAZING, and one that is widely known and replicated at home. 

    Although there are no characters nor dancers, they do have live entertainment in the form of a Hawaiian ambassador who passes out leis, sings traditional Hawaiian songs.  She invites all the "cousins", as guests are affectionately called, to dance and sing and take part in some of the festivities of the evening.  There is a great article on the Disney Food Blog that can offer you more specific details about every aspect of the meal.  It can be found at the independent website Disneyfoodblog.com.

    We absolutely love Ohana and I'm sure you and your family will as well. 

    Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
