A Magical Getaway: Our Unforgettable Stay at Disney Aulani
If you’re dreaming of a tropical paradise infused with Disney magic, look no further than Disney Aulani on the beautiful island of Oahu. Our recent visit to this breathtaking resort was nothing short of spectacular, and we can’t wait to share our experience!
Arrival & First Impressions
From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the warm spirit of Aloha. The grand entrance of Aulani, adorned with Hawaiian art and lush greenery, immediately set the tone for a relaxing yet adventurous vacation. We were greeted with friendly smiles, fragrance that filled the air, and stunning views around the resort.
Accommodations & Resort Atmosphere
We were lucky enough to be gifted a 1 bedroom villa from a close family friend. To get these spacious villa, you may purchase points from Disney Club Holders. The villa had a large bedroom, kitchen, living area, and very large bathroom. Everything about this resort, makes you start contemplating becoming a Disney Club Member so you can plan your next visit to this resort.
Pools, Beach & Water Fun
One of the highlights of our trip was exploring Aulani’s incredible water features. The Waikolohe Valley pool area was a dream come true, complete with a lazy river, thrilling water slides, and a serene infinity pool overlooking the ocean. The private beach was just as spectacular, offering calm, crystal-clear waters perfect for paddleboarding, or simply relaxing under the Hawaiian sun. The ocean is so calm, it is safe for little kids to enjoy , but about 10 feet from shore is a drop which is perfect for adults to swim or float. There was not much snorkeling in the ocean at this location and found more fit for relaxation.
Character Experiences & Entertainment
Disney fans will love the chance to meet their favorite characters dressed in Hawaiian attire! We had unforgettable moments meeting Mickey, Minnie, and Moana, who truly made our trip extra magical. The resort also offered nightly entertainment, including the enchanting KA WA‘A Luau, which immersed us in Hawaiian storytelling through music and dance. Another thing you should do is the free sunset photo session on the beach. Granted it is about $25 to purchase the photos if you like them, but the photography team is full of energy and makes the quick 10 min session fun.
Final Thoughts
Our stay at Disney Aulani was truly magical—an unforgettable blend of Disney charm, Hawaiian culture, and tropical relaxation. This resort offers something for everyone, but would recommend it be more for little children and pre-teens. If you’re considering a trip to Aulani, we highly recommend it—it’s a paradise where dreams come true!
