‘Ohana is reopening SOON at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
And we’re EXCITED. We’ve been bringing you all the details on what to expect from its return (including those famous ‘Ohana NOODLES), and now, we’ve got another update!
Several restaurants will soon be reopening throughout Disney World including ‘Ohana, Sebastian’s Bistro, and others.
We’ve already shared a look at the menu that will be served during dinner at ‘Ohana, including a BIG update on the noodles situation. But, what about ‘Ohana’s breakfast menu? Today we’re sharing all the details with you about what items you’ll be able to enjoy at ‘Ohana during breakfast when it reopens!
Excited about EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival? Wondering when ‘Ohana will open and whether it’ll be serving its signature noodles? Well, do we have some updates for you!!
This past week Disney shared some seriously big news when it comes to EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival booths, restaurants opening all over Disney World and Disneyland, mask and social distancing changes, and more. Today we’re breaking down all of the biggest stories from this past week and sharing them with you so you know what to expect and how to prepare for your upcoming trips! Ready to dive in? Let’s go!
ALERT!! We have a very important food update!!
‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is set to reopen soon with a slightly modified menu. When we got a look at the reopening menu we noticed that one SUPER important dish was missing — the ‘Ohana noodles!! But now we have some major news for all you ‘Ohana noodles fans!!
While Walt Disney World has been reopened since July of 2020, some of our favorite restaurants sadly remain closed.
We still haven’t seen the return of our favorite hot dog spot, Casey’s Corner, and Columbia Harbour House continues to be used for the Peter Pan’s Flight queue (but you *can* get some menu items at Tomorrowland Terrace). ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is one of the places that hasn’t opened its doors again, even when the resort did. But now, we FINALLY have a reopening date for the iconic Polynesian staple and you can make your reservation TODAY!!

UPDATE: There’s been a MAJOR update with the ‘Ohana noodles situation! Click here to find out more!
We got some BIG news today!
Disney just announced that a ton of restaurants are reopening on both coasts — and that includes one of our very favorites, ‘Ohana. But if you’ve been getting excited over ‘Ohana Bread Pudding and all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast (and trust us, we are too!), you may have missed something. What’s going on with ‘Ohana’s noodles?!
Disney World is continuing with its phased reopening.
And that means that we’re seeing attractions, restaurants, and hotels reopening all around property! We’ve been getting EXCITED to visit Tusker House again in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but now, it seems like we’ve got lots more to look forward to. Because Disney just announced that one of our favorite restaurants is officially reopening!
We get it, picking a restaurant to visit in Disney World is SO HARD. There are so many choices!! And as a first-timer, it can be suuuuper overwhelming.
Don’t worry, DFB to the rescue! We put out a poll on Facebook asking which Disney World restaurant first-timers should ALWAYS try on their first visit. You, our readers, all had SO many good recommendations (we love the passion in our fellow Disney-lovers!). We went through each response and narrowed down the spots with the most shout-outs, and put them all in one easy list!
When it comes to eating in Disney World, there are SO many options to choose from!

Cinderella Castle
We’ve tried just about everything at Disney World, but we often wonder which restaurants are overrated and underrated according to our readers! Whether you are a fan of classic Disney restaurants like ‘Ohana, or newer restaurants like Topolino’s Terrace, we’re here to see if YOUR favorite restaurant is actually overrated!
It’s no secret that we LOVE food at Disney World’s theme parks.
And we will never turn down a Dole Whip, Corn Dog Nuggets, or anything served with PLASTIC CHEESE (yes, it’s our weakness and we are not ashamed). But did you know some of the BEST meals and snacks are actually found OUTSIDE of the parks?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
