Get ready to dine at Wailulu Bar & Grill in the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Wailulu Bar & Grill
The Wailulu Bar & Grill offers indoor and outdoor seating, boasting views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella’s Castle (and even fireworks, if you time your visit right!). The spots hosts a casual walk-up pool bar as well as sit-down dining with a grill that features an all-day menu for lunch and dinner. There is also specialty coffee and on-the-go morning pastries available for breakfast.
Appetizers like Sweet Potato Hummus and Spiced Ham Musubi are joined on the menu by more substantial eats including Sticky Pork Ribs, Poke Bowls, and a Wayfinder Burger. A signature Polynesian Resort treat — a DOLE Whip Sundae — is also up for grabs!
Another Polynesian Resort favorite, Pineapple-Coconut Bread, is ONLY available for breakfast.
P.S. The bar gets its name from the Hawaiian words “wai,” which means water, and “lulu,” which means calm. The restaurant features Polynesian-inspired artwork, much of which was crafted using recycled materials, including reclaimed fishing nets!
As of December 3rd, 2025, Wailulu Bar & Grill accepts Advance Dining Reservations!
