food IS a theme park
There are few Disney World treats as beloved as Dole Whip.
Firecracker Cone
Yes, we’ll admit, we’re obsessed with this frozen fruity snack, but it is ICONIC for a reason! There are endless possibilities when it comes to Dole Whip combinations — we’ve tried Coconut Raspberry, Lemon Lime, Pineapple Coconut, and SO many more! But today, we found something that will make fans of spice VERY happy.
‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been open for a little over a month now, serving a modified menu for lunch and dinner.
‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort
This menu was apparently very temporary because they’re already switching it up and bringing back some old favorites! We’re back at ‘Ohana today to try the new, er, old? menu items again! Take a look at what we found!
If you’ve taking a trip around the Magic Kingdom Resort Monorail loop recently, you have probably noticed that you currently cannot get on or off at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Aloha, Polynesian Village Resort!
The resort, which has gone through extensive renovations along with a re-theming of their guest rooms inspired by Moana, has had no working Monorail station for several months now as the station undergoes some renovations.
We’ve seen quite a few restaurant reopenings at Disney World in the past few months!
Columbia Harbour House has reopened!
We tried the newly reopened Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom, Toledo at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and Yachtsman Steakhouse just recently. Back at the beginning of July, the ever-popular ‘Ohana reopened at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort reopened, and now it looks like the restaurant is getting some major changes!
Extra Magic Hours haven’t been available at Disney World since the reopening last July. Disney recently announced new perks for hotel guests that aren’t quite the same as Extra Magic Hours but do allow guests more time in the parks.Â
Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom
Hotel guests on Disney property are able to get Early Theme Park Entry to all 4 parks starting on October 1st. This includes guests at every Disney-owned hotel on property as well as Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels, Disney World’s on-property military hotel, and other local hotels. We have a full list of all the hotels eligible for Early Theme Park Entry here.Â
However, ONLY guests at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts will have access to Extended Evening Hours. But the big question: would YOU be willing to shell out Deluxe resort prices for this perk? Here’s what our readers said!
One part of a Disney World experience that might get overlooked while you’re busy thinking about all there is to do, eat, and ride in the parks is the Resorts!
Lobby at Polynesian
We’re visiting several Disney World hotels to let you know about any updates we find along the way!
Another week has gone by and LOTS of big Disney news has been shared!
Magic Kingdom
Whether you love Disney Cruise Line, have been waiting for the EPCOT monorail to reopen, or are wondering just when nighttime shows may return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we’ve got all the updates you need to know right here!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has officially reopened! And one of the most popular bars at Disney World, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, has reopened with it.
Let us in!!
But getting into Trader Sam’s can be a little difficult. When we first visited upon reopening, we had to sign up to get into a virtual line, and we’ve even seen the virtual queue fill up fast.
It’s only Tuesday and it has already been a pretty exciting week if you’re a fan of all things Poly! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort officially reopened yesterday (with their re-imagined Moana-themed guest rooms), along with Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto!
We’re BACK at the Polynesian!
Today, we’re back at the Polynesian, specifically at Barefoot Pool Bar to fill you in on a secret menu drink we recently discovered!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort officially reopens to all guests today, but that’s not all there is to get excited about!
Polynesian Village Resort
We’ve been brought you a look at all the excitement happening in the resort including a NEW Dole Whip treat (!!), brand new Moana-themed guest rooms, and more! And, while most of the restaurants (including ‘Ohana and Kona Cafe) had already reopened, there was still one fan-favorite spot that had yet to reopen with the hotel…at least, that’s what we thought… .
