Aloha, Timothy! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm so happy that I get to chat with you today about one of my favorite
Walt Disney World Resort restaurants,
'Ohana. I love the laid-back, Hawaiian vibe at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. It's the perfect setting in which to enjoy some of my favorite foods like 'Ohana noodles and bread pudding. While dinner at 'Ohana is delicious, the breakfast is just as yummy and also features Lilo and Stitch.
I have not heard about any closures at 'Ohana. If I had to guess why you were unable to modify your
dining reservation to an earlier time, I would think it's likely that all reservations at this popular spot are currently booked. However, you never know, maybe Stitch was causing a glitch in the system and this is the reason you could not change the time of your reservation. Either way, I recommend that you keep trying. Guests may cancel dining reservations without a fee up to two hours in advance, and people's plans are always changing. You never know when you might luck into the reservation time that you're looking for.
If all else fails, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort has some other amazing
dining spots that you could perhaps try at a time that is more convenient for you. In fact, some items from 'Ohana's dinner menu are even served right next door at
Tambu Lounge. Just be sure to ask a Cast Member as those items are not always listed on the menu. Oh, and if you won't be visiting with Stitch during breakfast at 'Ohana, keep an eye out for him in
Magic Kingdom Park. Sometimes you can find him making mischief in Tomorrowland.
Have a magical day!
