food IS a theme park
We’ve been counting down the days until Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort officially reopens.
We’re glad to be here!
In the meantime, we’ve been checking out all the other reopenings at the resort, including Oasis Bar and Grill, ‘Ohana (for breakfast AND dinner), and Kona Island (did someone say candied bacon?). But we’ve been impatiently waiting for a chance to check out the new Moana-themed rooms at the hotel.
The Wave…of American Flavors is a restaurant located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort near Magic Kingdom. This spot usually serves up fresh, market-inspired meals all day long.
The Wave
We’ve enjoyed breakfast here in the past, however the restaurant is currently under refurbishment. In the meantime, you’ll find The Wave’s breakfast up at the California Grill on the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort! We wanted to check out how the dining experience had changed by moving the same meal to a completely different restaurant, so let’s check it out!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is set to reopen VERY soon after a lengthy refurbishment!
Construction at the Polynesian Resort
During construction, the main entrance, Monorail station, and rooms were completely revamped and rethemed to be centered around Disney’s Moana. Although these are some major changes, we noticed a smaller change that you’ll want to be aware of if you’re snacking around the resort!
The Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a great place to enjoy a drink and take a load off after a long day at the parks!
The Lobby of Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort
Although we’ve been checking out the newly reopened restaurants in Disney World, like ‘Ohana, Citricos, and Trail’s End, we noticed some new menu items pop-up at Territory Lounge!
UPDATE! The Disney Wine and Dine 10K is now sold out. Other races remain available.Â

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
And, now that Halloween time starts in August with the BOO Bash followed by Disney World’s 50th anniversary, we’re already in the holiday preparation mode. So, if you plan on heading to Disney World in November, you’re going to want to see the prices and availability for Thanksgiving Week this year!
It’s a very special day because one of DFB’s favorite restaurants is back! That’s right, ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort has reopened!
‘Ohana at the Polynesian Resort
This restaurant has a very special spot in our hearts and we often review it very favorably! From the great atmosphere to the delicious bread pudding, this spot has it all! As if stopping by ‘Ohana for breakfast wasn’t enough, we also decided to grab some dinner! Come explore the newly reopened fan-favorite with us!
Did you know that all of the Disney World Resort hotels will have reopened by the end of this year?
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Yep, with favorites like Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge reopening soon, there were only a few hotels that still didn’t have reopening dates — until yesterday, that is! Disney announced the reopening dates for Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter, Disney’s All-Star Music Resort, and Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort.
