I Got Lei'd at 'Ohanas


One of our favorite Disney dining places is 'Ohanas at the Polynesian resort. Generally, we save going there for special occasions.

The other day was our son's birthday, and even though he wasn't here (the Commandant has seen fit to send him to Hawaii), 'Ohanas happens to be a particular favorite of the kid's, so we figured that was close enough.

In case you're unfamiliar with 'Ohanas, which means family, dinner is served 'family-style'. You sit and the food is brought to you by the servers, called "Cousins". And brought. As much as you want.

And there is entertainment: kids learn a hula song and engage in coconut races. Folks celebrating something special are called up. They all receive a lovely (not real) flower lei.

I happened to be wearing my most Hawaiian-looking blouse and having a good time, and surprise, I got a lei, too!

Alohaaaaa!!
