There are some simply iconic Disney World restaurants, like the beloved ‘Ohana!
‘Ohana
This is one of the most popular dining spots in all of Disney World, which makes it rather difficult to score a reservation. But if you’re dining there soon, we’re here to issue a warning — your spectacular view of Magic Kingdom might be impeded!
A notice was recently posted on the ‘Ohana page on the Disney World website stating that as of January 15th, portions of the exterior of the Polynesian Village Resort will be undergoing maintenance. This means that your view from ‘Ohana may be impacted.

Specifically, they noted that views of Seven Seas Lagoon (and subsequently, Cinderella Castle) may be partially or fully obstructed during construction. This restaurant is often chosen by diners for its view of Magic Kingdom fireworks shows, so that blocked view could be a bummer if it’s the reason you made your reservation.
‘Ohana
We’ll make sure to bring you more updates as construction takes place to let you know when the problems ease up. In the meantime, other restaurants in the area that may have a good view of fireworks include Narcoossee’s at the Grand Floridian and California Grill at the Contemporary.
