Aloha Heidi, and welcome to planDisney!

You are absolutely right that in order to make the most of those iconic family-style meals at Walt Disney World Resort, you'll definitely want to come with a big enough appetite to enjoy it all at that price! When it comes to a place like 'Ohana, even I've found myself craving everything on the menu from the noodles, wings and dumplings to all of the grilled meats that lead to that signature 'Ohana Bread Pudding - without being necessarily hungry enough to commit to eating so much!

I popped by Disney's Polynesian Village Resort recently to see what we could get from the menu at Tambu Lounge to fill that need for some Polynesian-inspired Disney Eats:

You'll be happy to hear that Lounge Bites were available between 4:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. with a small selection of various appetizers that includes Pot Stickers, Peel-n-Eat Shrimp, Honey-Coriander Chicken Wings and Kaikane's Barbecued Pork Ribs to get a small taste of the 'Ohana experience as you sit close enough to hear the sizzle and smell all of that grilled goodness from next door. From a price perspective, ordering all of these items à la carte with a drink is currently pretty much the cost of dining at 'Ohana already, so that's something to take into consideration! (This excludes the California Roll that was also available to order, though this is an option that's more like something you'd expect at Kona Cafe.)

Just be aware that tables are limited and currently you'll have to wait for a Cast Member to seat you; this is a great opportunity to check to see whether any items have changed, confirm what may or may not be available and ask whether it's at all possible to order anything that might not be listed like the 'Ohana Bread Pudding. (This cannot be guaranteed but in my personal experience in the past, we've been successful in ordering 'Ohana noodles as a "secret menu" item before it was officially added.)

Speaking of Kona Cafe, you can currently also find Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding on the menu there for a chance to capture that feeling of enjoying the dessert at 'Ohana, since it also comes with a scoop of ice cream and homemade caramel sauce!

I hope this helps, Heidi! Don't hesitate to come back to planDisney for any other tips or advice ahead of your next trip, especially when it comes to these great Disney Eats that become such a key tradition whenever we visit!

Mahalo!
