'Ohana Review


‘Ohana means family. So when you get to take your first trip as grown-ups with your brother and his family, you have to dine at the place where family is the focus.

Dining at ‘Ohana* changes you. With the food and warmth of the people and the welcoming surroundings of Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, it is hard not to fall in love with all it has to offer.
And then you have the food.

When you are brought in by your cousin, you pass the warmth of the Pineapple-Coconut Bread. You immediately start to feel your soul filling, and you haven’t even eaten anything yet!

Once seated, the mixed greens salad is served to you family style! Don’t worry if you finish it...there is more where that came from!

Following the salad is my personal favorite, the pork dumplings. I dream of the pork dumplings and honey coriander chicken wings...but mostly...of the dumplings! The teriyaki noodles and fried vegetables are packed with flavor and another family favorite!!! Again, don’t worry if you run out! Just ask your cousin and they will bring you more of everything you love!
As you are eating the dumplings, and noodles, and dumplings, and vegetables, and dumplings...long skewers of savory beef, chicken and shrimp are brought around to each table. The sweet-n-sour chicken, Szechuan Steak, and Spicy shrimp are out of this world delicious! And don’t worry if you don’t eat one of the offerings! You can pick and choose which you want, and again, you can always ask for more!

To accompany this fabulous family feast, one should consider celebrating with a specialty cocktail. Festive drinks from the Tambu Lounge are offered at ‘Ohana. And of course, you can't forget the wonderful dessert to round out this amazing family meal! Yum!

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
