Disney Aulani KA WA’A Luau was an 11/10 experience, absolutely the best luau for anyone who is gluten free. Having had great experiences eating at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris, I knew this would be a safe option. I was able to note my dietary needs when making the reservation, and upon arrival, I met with the staff and even the chef. They explained that I could either go through the buffet first, where every item was clearly labeled with ingredients, or they could prepare a separate plate to avoid cross-contamination and bring it directly to my table. I chose to have them bring a plate, and they provided an incredible amount of food everything was amazing. The staff also checked on me multiple times to ensure I had everything I needed, making me feel safe and comfortable.
The prime rib was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The kalua pork and chicken were perfectly marinated. I also tried a bite of the purple sweet potatoes, which were quite good. The poke wasn’t my favorite, but that’s just personal preference.
For dessert, the vegan brownie was surprisingly great, and the fresh fruit was perfectly ripe. There was so much food that I couldn’t try it all, but everything I had exceeded my expectations.
The drinks were unlimited, including alcoholic options, and the staff frequently came around to offer refills and ask if there was anything else we needed. The entertainment was fantastic, making the experience even more memorable. I would highly, highly recommend this luau when visiting the island. While it may be pricey, it’s worth every penny.
