We’re wrapping up an unforgettable Fourth of July weekend at Walt Disney World with plenty of food, fireworks, resort updates, and a few surprises along the way. We kick things off by giving shoutouts to some amazing members of the Main Street Magic community we had the chance to meet before diving into the latest changes around Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort—including an update to Wailulu Bar & Grill’s menu and the unexpected reason Disney has eliminated zero-proof cocktails across its owned restaurants.

Steakhouse 71, Trader Sam’s & Tambu Lounge Dining Reviews
From there, we eat our way through the weekend with breakfast at Steakhouse 71, featuring Walt’s Prime Rib Hash, seasonal pancakes, a build-your-own omelet, and some must-order sides before heading poolside to Barefoot Pool Bar for refreshing drinks and spicy honey pork wings. We also stop by Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto to sample several appetizers and then chat about finishing the trip at Tambu Lounge with a couple of classic favorites.
