‘Ohana

Just across Seven Seas Lagoon from the Magic Kingdom sits the Polynesian Village Resort. The resort is a beautiful place to stay with convenient access by land, boat, and monorail. Inside of the Polynesian is one of our favorite restaurants: ‘Ohana.

‘Ohana means family which is exactly what Disney builds on with this family dining experience. Everything is served family-style, with large bowls and plates of food brought out to the table. Which heightens the fears of anyone that is attempting to avoid gluten or other food allergens! But Disney handles this extremly well at ‘Ohana.

While the rest of my family enjoyed the normal bread, I was given some of the normal gluten-free rolls that Disney serves along with my own plate of honey and butter. The salad was served and is gluten-free. Everyone at the table was able to share without any concerns. When it came time for the main course, I received my own side of food, including white rice, chicken wings, and vegetables.

For the main couse, all the meats are gluten free. All you can eat steak, chicken, and peel & eat shrimp from the grill. Each with an asian flavor to it.

To end the meal, they have dessert for everyone. While most receive the typical bread pudding or cupcakes, those who need gluten-free are not left out! ‘Ohana has a gluten-free bread pudding dessert. According to the menu, it comes with a dairy free ice cream as well.

While I am not a huge fan of bread pudding, this one was not too bad. It was certainly a great ending to an amazing meal. If you are looking for a great gluten-free meal that will not leave you hungry at the end, try out ‘Ohana at the Polynesian Village Resort!
