I think the availability of reservations and walk ups has more to do with the economy than the quality of food. Not everyone has that kind of money to drop on a meal, much less to go to WDW at all!
Most restaurants at WDW have little availability. Chef Mickeys is packed for Breakfast and Dinner every day. There may be slower times, but Magic Kindom is always crowded. People save and use CCs to pay. There will always be people going.
The change in cancellation policy. Now you can cancel up to 2 hours before. And then people can grab them. People who have never been love it, and cannot understand why people are complaining.
I agree. Ohana has a family feel with a fancy price tag. It doesnt have the price to appeal to families anymore and doesn't have the environment to appeal to couples and adult travelers. At least, thats how I see it.
My wife and I were there for our 50 th anniversary. First time and loved almost everything! Best of the meal was the noodles,potstickers,bread,shrimp and customer service and satisfaction! Wait staff and helper were fantastic!!!
I agree with you, Kristen. When your food is quality, you do not mind paying the cost. Just think, for a family of 4 with children under 9 years of age, this meal is $200.00+. That is only ONE FREAKING MEAL!! If your vacation at WDW is 3 - 5 days, $200+ for one family meal is a fortune. You will be spending well over $1,000.00+ for food to dine out. The food cost alone is a big bite of your budget. I'm not familiar with the meal plan and its savings, but the sense I get from it is that you need to buy into it to get the discounts. It seems to me that eating outside the parks may be more affordable. From the many Disney vloggers, it seems that creating a WDW family memory is VERY expensive. You may want to create memories differently & in a different location. 😊 ❤
Hey there!!!! I agree with you, BRING BACK the skewers!!!! Also, BRING BACK the 3 dipping sauces. PLEASE Disney!!!! I remember the woman that played the ukelele vividly. Do you remember before they started serving the bread pudding, they used to give this fresh pineapple with a delicious caramel sauce?
😢 miss the old O*Hana and we will.not be returning until it is back to what it was....from the great Meat skewers,to other great appetizers and remember the pineapple with caramel and bananas foster bread pudding😢
I think the problem is that when you have been going to Disney for years you noticed how much the quality of a lot of things has changed. They know the original population who used to go are aging out and the newer generation wont know there was a difference. So many things or quality have gone by the wayside.
Kristen I haven't eaten at OHana. I probably won't. We just ate on our previous trip at Woody's Roundup Rodeo BBQ. That was a good meal and a fun experience. So based on what you said about having a fun meal at OHana or a special occasion meal, I'll go with Woody's at Hollywood Studios. I don't normally eat at the expensive sit down restaurants. We did eat at Cape may at the Beach Club Resort two years ago and I really loved that meal. I'm so old school that it's hard for me to justify the prices of food at Disney. Even the quick service prices are higher than they should be. But that's just me. LOL. I said at the beginning that I probably won't eat at OHana, but never say never. I might one day.
Thanks for another great review. I always wanted to try it but could never get reservations. It looked ok but I have seen the food look better in years past. Thanks again for a great review. - Randy
just ate at that restaurant at New Orleans/Riverside resort. that AYCE plate was bangin' with brisket, sausage, ribs, etc. for $36! didn't know they even HAD an AYCE offering Anywhere at WDW anymore for under $55.
I never had a chance to eat there, but did the Luau twice and really enjoyed it. Also miss the big waterfall and foliage that was in the Lobby. Believe Disney has been on a downward spiral since then.
The ending on this one was so peaceful LOL just chillin on the swing at the Poly Beach- you looked super content! 🙂Glad it was a good meal- We haven't been for a few years, and now Im craving it! 😅
Wow. You are so right. Those meats arriving as they did - plastic "skillets"??? It's so annoying when Disney cheaps-out on things like this! Bring back the darn skewers! And the sauces too!
My grandparents still have their ticket stubs from the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue in 1979. Back then, it cost $15 per adult and $9 per child. For their family of 4, they paid $50 for dinner and a show! Unreal compared to today’s prices 😅
We felt the same way you did about this dinner in March 2024. We used a dining credit and I did feel it was worth it while going that route. We worried if our younger children would eat this food, and our server was extremely kind and offered from the beginning to bring out chicken nuggets, fries or Mac and cheese. It was wonderful! The appetizer alone is a meal, the salad and bread was a great starter and the dessert is iconic! Overall it was a wonderful experience! Loved your review! 🥳
I'm with you - I would rather eat that steak at Flying Fish than pretty much any meal at WDW. Thanks for your honest reviews! You're one of my favorite vloggers!
The last i went was before pandemic and it was great, food and atmosphere, definitely didn't leave hungry. I havent returned because of lots of reviews like yours. Id rather spend money elsewhere.
I agree it’s a great use of the dining plan credit! My husband and I went there in August on the dining plan and each of our meals with our drink was about $80. The dining plan includes an alcoholic beverage so it’s a great deal on the dining plan! Otherwise it’s quite pricey!
The look on his face at 13:00 👀, I had to watch again. Cracked me up! You are also making me want to go to Ohana. I haven’t been since my oldest son was 8, he’s now almost 32. It’s been a minute.
I have never tried the Ohana noodles, but I found a copycat recipe that I'm going to try. Hopefully, it really is similar to the Disney World noods. Sometimes, a girl just needs time with a good nood! And, maybe a couple of potstickers! I always love your videos, Kristen! You've established yourself as an honest food reviewer, and I'm here it. The meat mini skillets look a little sad. Interesting choice on the presentation. Have a great week, and stay safe from the storms! 💜
Thanks for always tuning in Susan! Just went out to the store to get some stuff to prepare this morning. Hoping it's not as bad as Helene was for some people! Let me know how the copycat recipe is.
We were there for dinner yesterday and absolutely loved it can't understand the hype over the noodles though no better than I have at home in UK but the food in general was gorgeous
Thanks for the updated review. We’re trying it for the first time for a special birthday so I’ll take it for what it is! Sounds like I won’t be adding it to my regulars though!
The only time I've had struggles with getting a reservation has been for breakfast. Ive always been able to snag reservations for dinner, just maybe not for the exact time that we wanted.
My mom and I stayed 4 nights at the Poly last month and we had to cancel our Ohana reservations due to our flight out being too close. We ate at the Kona Cafe and it was amazing! The Big Kahuna burger was the best burger I have ever had. We also ate at Steak 71 the night before. The only thing that disappointed us was the breakfast burrito at Capt Cooks. Just skip it.
The quality of O'hana really seems to depend on who is working that day. I also feel like when they have bad management, the quality of the food and service go down. There is truth in the say "you can tell the mood of the cook by how the food comes out". As long as they have a decent manager, that doesn't piss off the employees, O'hana's is fire.
Ohana has been a go to for us as well for many years. My wife and I were there last week and at at Ohana and we were disappointed. The noodles weren't as good as they used to be, the chicken isn't the chimichurri chicken any more and it's not as good, the steak was just OK and the shrimp were bland. The bread was fantastic as usual and the bread pudding was very good, although not as good as Sebastian's Bistro's bread pudding. Biergarten is my new favorite followed closely by Boma. I hope Ohana returns to its previous glory but I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks for the tip about the Tambu Lounge Kristen. There's no way my wife, and I could eat $124 worth of food, but we would definitely enjoy a sampling of O'hana's delectables. We will surely visit the Lounge on our upcoming January trip to Disney. BTW, I see that the lounge doesn't have the noodles on their menu now. Maybe if I grovel a little they will feel sorry for me, and bring out a bowl just to stop me from whining. 😀
I’ve been to WDW many many times and to Ohana specifically over a dozen times, both pre and post Covid… the changes they’ve made there are the most disappointing changes that still persist. 😢
@Tinable you will love it we love Kristen we met her last week her honesty is great but we think this a bit harsh on the food it was very nice and you can order as much as you want yes we were on the dining plan but we would've paid all day long for it
We have reservations for breakfast on Wednesday. . . I'm in Texas now. Monitoring the weather. . . May have to cancel. Does it flood in the Disney bubble????
We love ‘Ohana but our server in June was awful. She took forever to come around for refills. The person working with her was so much more helpful. Did appreciate the to go containers.
We had the noddles, potstickers and wings at Tambu Lounge in December. They were delicious! I wish I could share the picture here… I do miss Ohana for Dinner but we stopped going to Ohana about 8 years ago because it was too pricey.
We were at Ohanas during Irma hurricane and it went down hill from there. It's good, but not worth the price. I'd rather eat at Bomas for cheaper! Is the restaurant Shutters still around? They had this amazing Bread Pudding with a Fireball sauce and it compared to the Ohana Bread pudding.
Yeah, can't see me going back there with what they're currently offering. Full disclosure, I was never the biggest fan of it, and honestly thought it was over-rated. The noodles I thought were fine as were the meat skewers and bread pudding (best portion of the meal, I thought) but I can get the pudding and noodles at the lounge if I want. For me, if I'm spending over $60 a meal then I REQUIRE a table side Mickey or Goofy visit. For that matter the breakfast at O'Hana's I preferred, but again back when they were doing the 🥥 races and such-super cute. Plus only meal w/Lilo and Stitch. Definitely not worth the 💵 now.
If I was a head chef I would make sure everyone gets their stomachs full with a dessert on the house with no charge all customers that’s how you get customers back when the owners communicate with the customers and all goes well. I would make sure that whatever needs the customer requested we would accommodate them all the way free of charge that’s how you grow consumer base and in return make profit because people believe in your business and operations. I also would give costumers a option to choice what side and meat they want but also give extra for a charge of 1.00 per meat because I love the middle class and everyone else as well so we all can live the life we want😊.
We love everything about Ohana! The food is good, service is great and you can't beat the view! It's always been pretty easy to get a res here and we've done walk up sometimes and gotten lucky and so many people cancel same day and same week! Keep checking people! It's possible! 😁🙌🏽
We ate at Ohana last week for the first time since pandemic and will likely never return. It was just so disappointing. It was an old favorite of ours that we hit on every trip down. I am thinking of trying Sebastian’s Bistro next trip as our Ohana substitute. Have you been there?
I do believe Disney World needs a proper authentic Brazilian restaurant gaucho style. Think there’s one or two on international somewhere the local one in my area area is amazing every time back to my age on point Epcot hasn’t had a expansion on the original oral showcase ever there was a rumor Brazilian one for a long time. Maybe that should happen put a Garo restaurant in there. We do gangbusters every day all day.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ya Kw-brianG. 😂😂
Husband and I went right before Covid and we really enjoyed the food but we could not eat enough to justify the cost (and I can eat A LOT). We've eliminated all the family style and buffets from our must-do lists.
I’ve always wanted to eat here but never any availability. I see you did a reservation for 4, but you said while eating you were there solo. Can you just make however many people and then tell the host they won’t be attending? Confused
Had a wonderful experience dinning at Ohana last month. Food was hot, fresh and so delish! Entertainment was enchanting. Will always stop in!!! Thanks for the review.
I went to Ohana multiple times in 1994 when it opened. The food and the service made it my favorite restaurant by far. I went back to Ohana in 2014. The food and the service made it my most despised restaurant by far. It is almost the opposite of what it was when it opened. Pure overpriced garbage. (edit): I can't understand how anybody could have had a positive experience at Ohana since 2014, and probably long before that. I think most people would rather delude themselves than admit they wasted time and money.
I was supposed to eat at Ohana in less than hour from now but had to cancel trip because of bad weather moving in. I love Ohana. Steak is my least favorite but everything else is really good.
Hi Kristin, I find myself not agreeing with more and more recently but you nailed this review of Ohana. Apps still good but meats not good since Covid. I’m with you gotta bring back the skewers. Last time we went I felt sorry for waitress who was trying so hard to sell the entrée portion of meal to no avail. Love your videos, appreciate we can rely on new one every couple of days
The waitress took it upon herself to put the sweet sauce on your dessert? Wow. What if the person did not want all that sweet sauce on it but only just a bit of sauce
I have never been even though I’ve stayed at the Polynesian more than once. I just didn’t think it looked good- the meat. I don’t have family memories to make me want to go. I’m glad to see your video because I will check out the Tambu lounge.
One of the worst dinners I have ever had on property.. My bestie said the food smelled like "new car" and she was right. So gross. The breakfast is still amazing.
Went to Tambu lounge for noodles and pot stickers last year. Pot stickers were good, but the noodles were very overcooked and mushy. Very disappointed.
Back when Disney had the Free Dining offers we could absolutely justify Ohana. Absolutely loved it. Now? No way in heck is it worth $62 per person especially considering that price includes kids 10 and up.
Yes. That ukulele player has been there for years and years! I love it!!!
“Eat out of the skillet because I can” LOL
Love your reviews always so honest!!
Thank you
When I'm alone I make the rules haha thanks Donna!

Quality over economy. Disney is imploding. It’s becoming Six Flags over Orlando.
Disney is becoming Six Flags over Orlando.
“I wouldn’t waste the room in my stomach” 😂😂
I miss the skewers, bananas and pineapple..miss the fun atmosphere with the music and coconut races!!
My wife and I were there for our 50 th anniversary. First time and loved almost everything! Best of the meal was the noodles,potstickers,bread,shrimp and customer service and satisfaction! Wait staff and helper were fantastic!!!
So glad you guys had a great meal! This time around, it was pretty solid for me. But I feel it tends to be inconsistent!

My family always loved Ohana too. I definitely would go back again! Thanks, Kristen!
Enjoy your videos! You, your friends & family are such fun, real people. Thanks for the Disney info 👍🏼😊
😢 miss the old O*Hana and we will.not be returning until it is back to what it was....from the great Meat skewers,to other great appetizers and remember the pineapple with caramel and bananas foster bread pudding😢
You still get the same meat. You still get the same appetizes. You still get the same bread pudding, when’s the last time you were there?
GO DISNEY GO!!! What a feast at Ohana, great food, service and atmosphere!

just ate at that restaurant at New Orleans/Riverside resort. that AYCE plate was bangin' with brisket, sausage, ribs, etc. for $36! didn't know they even HAD an AYCE offering Anywhere at WDW anymore for under $55.
Agreed!! And bring back the Banana bread pudding!!!!
I was there in 2019 with daughter and grandkids. We loved that Stitch would come around to the tables. Stitch was my daughters favorite.
Awesome! Characters are still there but for breakfast only
Great job describing everything! Bring back those skewers!! 😀
I never had a chance to eat there, but did the Luau twice and really enjoyed it. Also miss the big waterfall and foliage that was in the Lobby. Believe Disney has been on a downward spiral since then.
Excellent review and information! Thank you.
The skewers were part of the overall experience. I say bring them back.
It’s literally the same they just put them in a bowl.
The ending on this one was so peaceful LOL just chillin on the swing at the Poly Beach- you looked super content! 🙂Glad it was a good meal- We haven't been for a few years, and now Im craving it! 😅
The price is the reason I stopped dining at O’Hana. I’d rather spend my money at Boma, the food is much better there.
Wow. You are so right. Those meats arriving as they did - plastic "skillets"??? It's so annoying when Disney cheaps-out on things like this! Bring back the darn skewers! And the sauces too!
I agree those potstickers are the best and I need my own bowl of them at Tambu lounge. 🥟🥟🥟
11 minutes in and I’m glad to see things looking better again!
It was definitely better than my past few meals there!
My grandparents still have their ticket stubs from the Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue in 1979. Back then, it cost $15 per adult and $9 per child. For their family of 4, they paid $50 for dinner and a show! Unreal compared to today’s prices 😅
Never been. I have visited Tambu Lounge many times, and my extensive collection of backscratchers shows it!
Ambiance is important. Ohana is iconic. They can keep the meats if there are no dipping sauces.
We felt the same way you did about this dinner in March 2024. We used a dining credit and I did feel it was worth it while going that route. We worried if our younger children would eat this food, and our server was extremely kind and offered from the beginning to bring out chicken nuggets, fries or Mac and cheese. It was wonderful!

We ate at Ohana for the first time about a week ago. It was divine! Absolutely loved it! We did have yhe dining plan, so the price tag was worth it!
'Ohana is still our must visit restaurant for every Disney visit
Ohana is my favorite! Breakfast and dinner has always been delicious and love the atmosphere! Want to go back already 🥰

I went in April for my birthday and I agree with every point you made!
We were there for dinner yesterday and absolutely loved it can't understand the hype over the noodles though no better than I have at home in UK but the food in general was gorgeous
Oh come on the noodles are a staple!
@wrightdownmainstreet we met you in epcot and we love you but the dumplings were better
A classic Disney experience. The food is not great but the view and experience are worth it to me.
Thanks for the updated review. We’re trying it for the first time for a special birthday so I’ll take it for what it is! Sounds like I won’t be adding it to my regulars though!
Love your Maui shirt
"In long, also no" that took me out. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
The only time I've had struggles with getting a reservation has been for breakfast. Ive always been able to snag reservations for dinner, just maybe not for the exact time that we wanted.
5:28 I felt rushed at Akershus so I am hesitant to book those character meals now
Great vid. Sorta miss that charm it used to have and those skewers....nonetheless it still looks great.
My mom and I stayed 4 nights at the Poly last month and we had to cancel our Ohana reservations due to our flight out being too close. We ate at the Kona Cafe and it was amazing! The Big Kahuna burger was the best burger I have ever had. We also ate at Steak 71 the night before. The only thing that disappointed us was the breakfast burrito at Capt Cooks. Just skip it.
The quality of O'hana really seems to depend on who is working that day. I also feel like when they have bad management, the quality of the food and service go down.

The bread was fantastic as usual and the bread pudding was very good, although not as good as Sebastian's Bistro's bread pudding. Biergarten is my new favorite followed closely by Boma. I hope Ohana returns to its previous glory but I'm not holding my breath.
We used add more magic to automatically find and book our reservation. And its free unless they 100% book it for you.
Thanks for the tip about the Tambu Lounge Kristen. There's no way my wife, and I could eat $124 worth of food, but we would definitely enjoy a sampling of O'hana's delectables. We will surely visit the Lounge on our upcoming January trip to Disney. BTW, I see that the lounge doesn't have the noodles on their menu now. Maybe if I grovel a little they will feel sorry for me, and bring out a bowl just to stop me from whining. 😀
They aren't listed on the menu online, but they are on the physical menu once you get there.
For the real "Disney Springs" Experience just go to Winter Park near Rollins College. 10 times better food and atmosphere for about 2/3rds the price.
We were there last Saturday.. sorry we missed you😊
The steak was some of the toughest i ever had....
I’ve been to WDW many many times and to Ohana specifically over a dozen times, both pre and post Covid… the changes they’ve made there are the most disappointing changes that still persist. 😢
I have a reservation in November. I am looking forward to this meal so much.
@Tinable you will love it we love Kristen we met her last week her honesty is great but we think this a bit harsh on the food it was very nice and you can order as much as you want yes we were on the dining plan but we would've paid all day long for it
Enjoy!!
When I go to Ohana I ask for a skillet of only Potstickers those things are so good
We have reservations for breakfast on Wednesday. . . I'm in Texas now. Monitoring the weather. . . May have to cancel. Does it flood in the Disney bubble????
Every storm is different, not sure how this one will be. Hoping it ends up not causing too much damage 🤞🏻
the place is a cool vibe and that is part of the price i enjoy it.
We love ‘Ohana but our server in June was awful. She took forever to come around for refills. The person working with her was so much more helpful. Did appreciate the to go containers.
I was able to get to go containers as well! They tend to be able to give 1 container per person.
@@wrightdownmainstreet We got another order of pot stickers and wings to take back to our room 😂.
I leave there in pain from eating too much. It is good and we enjoy relaxing after a long day at the park and just eating.
We had the noddles, potstickers and wings at Tambu Lounge in December. They were delicious! I wish I could share the picture here… I do miss Ohana for Dinner but we stopped going to Ohana about 8 years ago because it was too pricey.
Also, the Poly is my home away from home 🌺

Is the chicken burnt?

Before the noodles, they had the most delcious au gratin potatoes.

They changed the chicken? I remember a green sauce last summer? I loved it ☹️
Yeah, they had a roasted bone in chicken with a green sauce a few years ago I believe. It’s now a boneless chicken thigh
tried Ohana's for the first time this year and was really disappointed. as you said FF is great and ill be going there next trip
was just there last week, we were very rushed and it took forever if we asked for more. Our 3rd time there but not sure I will go back
I tried the France restaurant in Epcot. Worth every 200 $ the food was amazing n it make you full
Husband and I went right before Covid and we really enjoyed the food but we could not eat enough to justify the cost (and I can eat A LOT). We've eliminated all the family style and buffets from our must-do lists.

I didn’t make a res for 4, I was just showing what was available for a party of 4
Make a reservation ahead of time, not last minute. It’s not that hard.
@@WolfMan439 well just checked through Nov 15 for a party of 2 and found nothing. What is “not last minute”
Had a wonderful experience dinning at Ohana last month. Food was hot, fresh and so delish! Entertainment was enchanting. Will always stop in!!! Thanks for the review.
We ate there in 2019 and it was amazing, 2023 we returned and it was poor and freezing!
When we stay at poly I get it delivered room service noodles pot stickers and wings!
Can you still do that? I’m pretty sure they got rid of room service at the Disney resorts (except Grand Flo)
I went to Ohana multiple times in 1994 when it opened. The food and the service made it my favorite restaurant by far. I went back to Ohana in 2014. The food and the service made it my most despised restaurant by far. It is almost the opposite of what it was when it opened. Pure overpriced garbage.
(edit): I can't understand how anybody could have had a positive experience at Ohana since 2014, and probably long before that. I think most people would rather delude themselves than admit they wasted time and money.
I was supposed to eat at Ohana in less than hour from now but had to cancel trip because of bad weather moving in. I love Ohana. Steak is my least favorite but everything else is really good.
Hi Kristin, I find myself not agreeing with more and more recently but you nailed this review of Ohana. Apps still good but meats not good since Covid. I’m with you gotta bring back the skewers. Last time we went I felt sorry for waitress who was trying so hard to sell the entrée portion of meal to no avail. Love your videos, appreciate we can rely on new one every couple of days
Dyson Elliot @ The French Quarter. Called me Toe Jam.
The waitress took it upon herself to put the sweet sauce on your dessert? Wow. What if the person did not want all that sweet sauce on it but only just a bit of sauce
I have never been even though I’ve stayed at the Polynesian more than once. I just didn’t think it looked good- the meat. I don’t have family memories to make me want to go. I’m glad to see your video because I will check out the Tambu lounge.
One of the worst dinners I have ever had on property.. My bestie said the food smelled like "new car" and she was right. So gross.
The breakfast is still amazing.
Went to Tambu lounge for noodles and pot stickers last year. Pot stickers were good, but the noodles were very overcooked and mushy. Very disappointed.
Back when Disney had the Free Dining offers we could absolutely justify Ohana. Absolutely loved it. Now? No way in heck is it worth $62 per person especially considering that price includes kids 10 and up.
Where’s your shirt from? Need a fit check
All my shirts are from ShopLBV. The link to shop is in the description of the video 😊
So hard to get dinner there. :( Scored Boma though
I hope you are safe from the hurricane!
I don’t see the noodles on the bar menu? Did they take them off? 😢
They may not be listed online but they are on the physical menu once you get there
I feel like everything is sweet and not enough changes in flavor. I would sneak in some soy sauce or hot sauce packets
I really think alot of the table service has dipped in popularity due to the price and time involved in it these days.
I don't eat beef, and really don't care for the chicken, I wish you could get this meal with just 1 meat.
