In 73 days, we leave for our big family trip to Walt Disney World, so a couple of weekends ago, I hosted a Disney planning party and all of the foods were from different WDW restaurants and resorts. These green beans were one of the hits of the party. Even the grandkids loved them! This recipe comes from Ohana Restaurant at the Polynesian Resort, so the green beans have sort of a Polynesian flair. If you're ever looking for something different, I hope you'll try this. I think you'll enjoy the results. I know we did.
