Character Breakfast at ‘Ohana

A Magical Morning at ‘Ohana: Character Breakfast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

If you’re looking to start your Disney day with a dose of tropical charm, delicious food, and beloved characters, the Character Breakfast at ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is an absolute must-do! Our family recently experienced this enchanting breakfast, and it was the perfect blend of Disney magic and island vibes.

1. Welcomed with Aloha Spirit

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and the friendly “Aloha!” that sets the tone for a truly special experience. The Polynesian-inspired decor, complete with lush greenery and tiki touches, made us feel like we’d been whisked away to a tropical paradise—right in the heart of Walt Disney World.

2. Meet & Greet with Beloved Characters

One of the biggest highlights of the ‘Ohana Character Breakfast is the chance to meet some of Disney’s most beloved characters, including:

Lilo & Stitch: The stars of the show! Stitch was playful and mischievous as always, making Harper and Piper giggle with his antics.
Mickey Mouse (in his adorable Hawaiian shirt) bringing his signature charm and hugs.
Pluto, always goofy and full of fun energy.

The characters make their way around the restaurant, giving each table plenty of time for photos, autographs, and special interactions. Watching Harper and Piper’s faces light up during these magical moments was priceless.

3. Delicious Family-Style Feast

The breakfast is served family-style, which means all the deliciousness comes right to your table—no buffet lines here! The spread included:

Scrambled eggs
Crispy bacon and pork sausage
Island-style fried potatoes
Fresh fruit platter
And the star of the show: warm, fluffy Mickey-shaped waffles (because what’s a Disney breakfast without them?)

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for fueling up before a big day in the parks. Plus, the Pineapple-Coconut Bread served at the start was absolutely divine—we couldn’t get enough!

4. Tropical Vibes & Stunning Views

The setting at ‘Ohana is just as magical as the food and characters. Large windows offer beautiful views of the resort’s tropical grounds and even glimpses of Cinderella Castle across the lagoon. It’s the perfect spot to soak in some Disney magic while enjoying a leisurely breakfast.

5. Why We Love It for Families

Stress-Free Dining: Family-style service means you can relax while the food comes to you.
Entertaining for Kids: The lively atmosphere, character interactions, and even a fun parade around the restaurant for little ones keep everyone engaged.
Convenient Location: Perfect if you’re staying at the Polynesian or heading to Magic Kingdom afterward—just hop on the Monorail!

Final Thoughts

Our morning at ‘Ohana was filled with laughter, great food, and magical memories that we’ll cherish forever. It’s more than just a meal; it’s an experience that captures the heart of Disney—family, fun, and a little bit of aloha spirit.
