    Hi there, can you please tell me how to make dining reservations if you are not staying onsite in Aulani? We are staying nearby and would love to dine in Aulani. Huge thanks, Lorraine

    Aloha Lorraine, 

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney with a question about Disney's Aulani Resort. This beautiful beachside resort on the island of O‘ahu is full of Disney magic and Hawaiian charm - you’ll find touches of local culture and natural beauty everywhere you look!

    When it comes to food, there's something for all appetites. It sounds like you're looking for a sit-down meal - I'm happy to share that the resort has a few options that may interest you. I highly recommend checking out Makahiki and 'AMA'AMA. Makahiki is home to the Character Breakfast, where you can start your day with Mickey and Friends - it's a fun way to kick off the morning! They also serve lunch and dinner (breakfast is the only Character dining). For something extra special, ‘AMA‘AMA offers Hawaiian dishes with a modern twist and an incredible view of the lagoon - perfect for a sunset dinner.

    You can make reservations for both restaurants online up to 30 days in advance—and I recommend doing so, especially if you have a specific time in mind.

    I hope this helps you plan a dining outing at Aulani! If you have any more questions, come back and see us - we’re always happy to help at planDisney.

    A Hui Hou (til we see each other again),
