Disney Eats Hawaiian Style

We just spent a great week at the Aulani, here in beautiful Hawaii. The weather was perfect to just enjoy the Hawaiian sun. For our kids it was great pool hoping weather but for us moving slowly down the lazy river was our perfect day.

 

Of course it was the fun being and playing in the sun but the part that we always get excited about was the food. Disney food always seems better and when you eat at a Disney Property you are going to have great eats, well most of the time. I am going to just talk about the three places we dined at so you can get a picture of what is offered and what to expect in your choices.

We arrived later then we were supposed to so a quick bite was going to be perfect. We went straight to the ULU Cafe; it’s a great little place. The Castmembers were AMAZING !! It was Halloween nite and they were talking to my kids about their costumes and then the Chef from the back came out to offer all of us candy. They explained the menu items and told us that everything was great.
We decided on the Sliced Turkey with white rice, veggies, loaded Potato soup and Crispy Shrimp Sandwich. All of the orders were served to us fast and everything was delicious! The Shrimp Sandwich was a butterflied crispy with panko coconut with some pineapple too. The Sliced Turkey was so good and that was a huge portion! The Loaded Potato Soup was really very good too. I will have to say that it was so good we all enjoyed it so much we didn’t even remember to take pictures of it all. This handmade bamboo skewer was all that was left after we were done.
On our Scale we give the ULU Cafe a 10,  for the food, great Castmembers and a very lovely seating area!!

 The one person that was jumping out of her bed the next morning was our Birthday Girl. She was up and ready to go for her Birthday breakfast was the Characters at the Makahiki Restaurant. Auntie’s Character Breakfast at the Makahiki is a beautifully set up buffet. They have lots of different foods not offered at the usual Character Breakfast.  There was an area with sushi and other tasty foods that were delicious. Lots of hot foods like Eggs Benedict, Egg Whites Frittatas, White Fish, Portuguese Sausage and Fried Rice with Spam!

  

 And of course my little one enjoyed her Mickey Waffles. For those traditional breakfast eaters there are lots to choice from Omelets made to order, Hash Brown Potatoes, French toast and lots of sweet pastries. The juice choices are all tropical, like Guava, Pineapple and the traditional Orange.

 We were all very happy with our visit to Auntys Character Breakfast, especially our Birthday Girl. Just want to say thank you to Goofy, Minnie and Mickey they were so fanastic to us. Goofy was amazing to our Birthday Girl he was just great and Minnie was so sweet kissing my daughters book she signed I was teary eyed. A wonderful day for all of us.
On our scale it gets a 10+ ,  for the Food, the Characters and the Fun !!

Back to the eats on the Aulani Property.  So we had never eaten at the 'AMA , it was a beautiful afternoon and we were ready. I first want to say how lovely the restaurant is, the view was wonderful. The tables were beautiful and they had one Captain chair on every table.
 I am going to say things that I never say about Disney Property Restaurants and I was disappointed I must say. We sat for over 6 mins with no server, hostess or anyone to just bring our table water.
We did see the hostess look at our table but maybe she felt offering us water was not her job. We finally had our server who was nice but she had over 6 tables to herself.
We ordered Catch of the day fish Tacos, Pulled Pork sandwich , Chicken wings and a mac & cheese kids meal. Everything came fast and everything looked good.
The Catch of the day fish Taco was not my favorite and it was a very small portion . The Pulled Pork was served in steamed rice buns and was good. The Chicken wings was a appetizer item my daughter ordered and it was very tasty, also she ordered Sweet Potato fries to make it a meal . My little one did not like her Mac & Cheese and
she left half of it .
We were ready to leave and the Waitress had finally given us our bill but was overwhelmed with other tables she was not able to pick up our card. A manager was helping her serve a table right next to us. He looked at our bill that was ready to pickup and he walked away.
So on our scale of 1-10 we give the 'AMA a 7 and that was for the food and the view .

Of course we did eat by the poolside which was tasty, fast and the Castmembers were great. Our kids did have their favorite huge Shaved Ice. We also had some of my favorite treats Mickey Ice Cream and Goofy Candy.

Well, this is our point of view of our eating thru the Aulani Property and we were very happy with most of what we choose to eat.
It was a magical week and my family will not forget celebrating our daughters Birthday at the beautiful Disney Aulani Resort and Spa.
