Food, Fun, and Family at Ohana

Posted on by Andrew Rossi
Among friends and family, people continue to tell me how Ohana is one of their favorite restaurants in all of Disney World and that they go there every time they visit. It comes as no surprise that reservations for Ohana are some of the hardest to come by amongst all Disney dining locations. For these reasons, the bar is always set very high when dining at Ohana and yet the restaurant continues to live up to these expectations time and time again. Ohana is definitely a restaurant not to be missed and it offers a dining experience unlike any other.

by Kitty Smith I just returned from a most wonderful Walt Disney World vacation. As a vegan, there were some challenges with meals, but one meal was so amazingly outstanding that it deserves a whole report by itself.

These first two pictures are of topiary as seen while driving from the Main Entrance toward … Continue reading "Step Back in Time to 1972 – Back by popular demand"
