food IS a theme park
Hey, y’all, we’re doing some resort-hopping today! We’re going to be checking out everything new at Disney’s Monorail Resorts and Wilderness Lodge Resort.
Monorail in the Contemporary Resort
There’s a ton of new merch to check out, so let’s just dive in!
If you’re here, you probably know a lot about Disney dining — or are looking to learn more. With hundreds of dining options in the Disney Parks, we are always finding new experiences, unique meals, and culinary adventures that even the most hardcore Disney aficionados may not know about — and we are here to share them with YOU!

Today, we are sharing 10 Disney meals you don’t know about — but you should!
ALOHA from the Polynesian Village Resort!
This Lobby is Always So Welcoming
You may know the Polynesian is a paradise when it comes to delectable tropical treats. From the newest Dole Whip Floats to ‘Ohana Noodles without a reservation, there is no shortage of deliciousness at this iconic resort.
Blue Hawaiian Float
But today, we’re slowing things down and getting a bite pool-side — hāele pū (let’s go in Hawaiian!) to the Oasis Bar and Grill!
Aloha kakahiaka (Which is good morning in Hawaiian.)! And we did have a VERY good morning recently at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Polynesian Resort Lobby
We’ve had a longtime LOVE for the Polynesian and its amazing eats. Whether it be a Dole Whip from the Pineapple Lanai (they just taste better here don’t they?) or the Chocolate-Covered Pineapple from Kona Island, there is always something tasty to be found at this iconic resort.
Pineapple Coconut Chocolate Covered Bacon
But sometimes, you just want to hit a classic spot…with a little character. That’s right! We headed to one of our favorite restaurants and character breakfasts on property, ‘Ohana. This has long been a beloved character breakfast, but would it still hold up — especially with the addition of the new character Breakfast à la Art at Topolino’s Terrace at the Riviera Resort?? That’s what we wanted to find out!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has a LOT of fantastic dining options.
For starters, there’s all-you-care-to-eat ‘Ohana, where family-style sides accompany huge skewers of grilled meat. Then there’s Kona Cafe, where plated table service meals — most with an island twist — fill diners’ stomachs. This one also offers a super fun character breakfast! And we can’t forget Tambu Lounge, where you can get not just the iconic Lapu Lapu (served in a pineapple!) but can also now order up favorite ‘Ohana bites like noodles, chicken wings, and (of course) ‘Ohana Bread Pudding. Then there’s Pineapple Lanai, where you can satisfy your craving for all things Dole Whip. Finally, we have two words for you: Twilight Feast (AKA — the most awesome in-room dining option on earth!).
But if you’re not full on swirls of fruit and Pineapple Coconut Bread, there’s a proper quick service option, too: Capt. Cook’s! Located on the lower level of the Great Ceremonial House with an exterior entrance on the Lagoon-side of the Resort and an interior entrance off the lobby en route to Trader Sam’s, Capt. Cook’s serves up a small menu — much smaller than the large food courts at Moderate and Value Resorts — of both Polynesian-inspired eats and American classics.

We’re trying some of each. So put down that skewer of ‘Ohana’s grilled shrimp; it’s time to grab some counter service eats at Capt. Cook’s! [Read more…]

We’re headed to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to celebrate the season South Seas style.
