Welcome, Lisa!
Ohana is such an amazing restaurant. I just adore dining there on our
Walt Disney World Resort vacations. My kids get a kick out of the dining servers bringing huge skewers of meat around so we can create our own perfect meals. It does remind us of our time in Hawaii!
I love using my Disney Rewards Visa card by Chase, especially at the Walt Disney World Resort, since it earns us points to use on Disney vacations, but also provides some great perks like discounts on dining at select locations. Unfortunately, Ohana is not one of the locations where the Disney Chase Visa offers a discount, but check out the
Walt Disney World dining locations that do offer the Chase Disney Visa discount. It's a great way to save a bit of money! Plus, you'll save money on souvenirs too. I like to make sure we spend at least $50 at a time on souvenirs, since the discounts from the card are for purchases of $50 and up. When the kids see a "must-have" item, we wait until we are ready to purchase a few things so we can take advantage of that additional discount. If you plan it out right, you will save quite a bit, Lisa!
I don't believe that Ohana or any of the in-resort or in-park restaurants at Walt Disney World offer AAA discounts, though I know that a few at
Disney Springs do, so it's always worth asking if you're there!
I'll suggest a way that I've created my own Disney discounts though! Our grocery store chain here in Ohio offers fuel rewards (save a certain amount of cents off per gallon of gas) by purchasing gift cards at their store. So, when they feature 3x or 4x fuel rewards, I stock up on
Disney Gift Cards there. Sure, I'm not actually saving money at the Disney Parks, but I need to put gas in the car no matter what and I need money for Disney, so if purchasing Disney Gift Cards there saves money (sometimes I've earned up to $1 off per gallon) on the car fill-ups, that's more money in the bank for our Disney trips! We can use the Disney Gift Cards at any restaurant or shop at Walt Disney World, so it's a great way to create my own discount!
I hope that helps as you plan for this magical adventure, Lisa!
