Ohana at Home + Dole Whip Mimosa Recipe

One of our very favorite dining reservations to snag is dinner at Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. In fact, I would wager it’s our most repeated reservation, and we even got it for room service when we stayed at the Polynesian. What makes Ohana so great? The atmosphere really can’t be beat – you’re treated like ohana and waited on by aunts, uncles and cousins, and if you time your dinner right, you can even catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks right at your table. The entertainment is a blast – a character meal during breakfast and a luau style show for kids with dinner. The star of the show, though, is the food. Especially for dinner where you get course after course of Polynesian-inspired dishes served ohana style. I’ve never left a meal there anything less than absolutely stuffed. So when the Disney Parks Blog posted the recipe for Ohana’s famed wings, I decided I wanted to cook up an Ohana-inspired meal for my own ohana. I found several recipes online and made a few changes to make them dairy and gluten free.

  5. We’re in the middle of a quarantine brought on by an international pandemic. What else am I going to do?!

Recipe: Inspired by Woody's Lunchbox Box Tarts

For us, little is more magical than Disney food, and we love to spend time creating Disney-inspired recipes or trying to recreate our favorites from the Parks. After a democratic Instagram poll, we decided I’d try to recreate gluten free Box Tarts from Woody’s Lunch Box, especially exciting for me to try since they do not offer a gluten free version currently!
