Hi Joanna!
I'm so happy to hear that you will be visiting from the U.K.! You have chosen a great restaurant!
'Ohana is one of my family's favorites. Be sure to leave room for the bread pudding dessert. It is phenomenal! One of the great things about dining in the Disney Resorts is that you can also explore the amenities and shops. The beach at
Disney's Polynesian Village is a great place to watch fireworks and you are welcome to enjoy the view. However please know that if the beach gets too crowded, Cast Members may limit the area to hotel guests only. I stayed at this resort during another holiday, Labor Day, and Cast Members were verifying who was a hotel guest and those who were not, were asked to leave the area.
It's been a real pleasure assisting you Joanna. If you need any other recommendations, may for restaurants or any other planning need, please feel free to send me your questions!
Thanks for sending your questions to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Happy Planning!
Yael
