“Hang loose with Stitch and friends at breakfast and enjoy games, storytelling, and a Hawaiian-style feast at dinner.”
On April 12, 1995, the restaurant ‘Ohana opened at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort, replacing the Papeete Bay Verandah which had closed in September of 1994. The restaurant features an interactive experience for guests, with family style dining while the food is cooked in a fire pit on skewers up to three feet long. Guests are encouraged to participate in several activities, including coconut races, dancing, and fun with hula hoops. The restaurant also features character dining, mainly featuring Lilo and Stitch, but including other characters such as Mickey Mouse.
