Ohana at Home + Dole Whip Mimosa Recipe

in ,

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.

Recipe: Inspired by Woody's Lunchbox Box Tarts

in ,

Howdy howdy howdy! Like us, you might be looking for ways to bring the Disney magic home while we all stay at home. 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!

Part Of That (Club Level) World

in , ,

When I look back on my childhood Disney trips I can’t help but reflect upon how lucky I was and how naive I was about the Disney experience. My family went every year and stayed at the Grand Floridian, as that was where my papou (grandfather in Greek) preferred to stay. One year, upon arriving at the resort, we were told that our outer-building room wasn’t ready, and to make up for the inconvenience would we mind staying club level in the main building?
