Hi there, Lindsey!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. This is a tough question because I love both of these dinners!
One of my all time favorite meals at Walt Disney World Resort is dinner at
'Ohana. I absolutely love everything on the menu and am usually full before the skewers of meat even start to arrive! I usually tell people with younger children that it is entertaining for little ones even though there aren't any characters because they have coconut races, limbo and hula lessons. Plus, it's only one credit if you are using the
Disney Dining Plan.
On the other hand,
Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show also has a wonderful, all-you-care-to-enjoy tropical feast for dinner. While the food is great, the atmosphere is better! Because your children are a little older, they would probably really enjoy the show too. The hula dancers and fire dancers are unbelievable!
So basically you simply can't go wrong with either one of these choices. I'm sure you and your family will enjoy whichever one you decide on and will leave completely stuffed regardless! I hope this helps with your decision and if you have any other questions, just let us know.
Happy planning!
