If you are coming from outside Magic Kingdom, you will go through the main entrance gates, and stay to your right when you get through, you will stay straight until you come to a traffic light (it's well marked) then make a left - go past the kennel, TTC, and then Poly entrance is on the right.

Parking at the TTC works, or since you are dining at the Poly you can just park in their lot - either valet ($7+tip) or in the regular guest lot (free)- you are given a 3 hour dining pass.

The restaurant is on the 2nd floor - in the far left hand corner. If you park in the lot you will go in the entrance, go to the far right hand corner for the elevators to the 2nd floor (only option). Once you get off the elevators, Ohanas' is directly across the lobby - you can't miss it!

Have fun!

Drive directly to the resort, and tell the person at the gate that you have a reservation at 'OHanas. They will give you a parking pass for at least 2 hours. The restaurant is upstairs on the second level - you can't miss it.

There are also busses directly to the Poly from MGM and AK, so if you're in one of those parks you can just hop the bus over

'Ohana is my personal favorite meal in all of WDW.

Like any restaurant, it has good days and bad days, but every meal I have ever had there has been phenomenally good, not to mention huge and incredibly filling.

See here for the menu: http://allearsnet.com/menu/menu_oh.htm

I also love the relaxed, laid-back, quiet atmosphere of 'Ohana. Even when the kids get up to do the hula hoop contest and coconut races, the restaurant doesn't get boisterous, but everybody has a great time.

Service is usually excellent, although I have occasionally had a sub-standard server. Be prepared to have many dishes brought out to you at once when the appetizers and sides come; some folks think this means that they are being pressured to eat fast and get out, but it's really just that they bring you a bunch of different dishes at once so that you have a choice.

'Ohana is family-style, meaning that it is all-you-can-eat, but they bring it to you. Your food comes out in large serving dishes and you put it on your plate yourself, except for the meats from the grill, which the waitstaff brings to you on huge metal skewers and puts directly on your plate. Tell them which meat you like best and they tend to bring you huge amounts of that meat without even asking.

If you are not a huge eater, let the server know in advance so he won't bring too much at one time. Some folks feel that this is wasteful or feel uncomfortably pressured to eat more and more, but the servers really just want to make sure everybody has enough of everything.

And as tempting as it might be to gorge yourself on the fantastic food, be sure to save some room for the desert, which is the very best sweet treat anywhere in WDW - bread pudding and vanilla ice cream with an unbelievable Bananas Foster sauce on top. It will BLOW YOUR MIND how good this desert is!

Enjoy, and Aloha!
