A Disney Resort in Hawaii? Sweetness!


Disney + Hawaii = A truly magical and tropical vacation!


I'm beyond excited that the Aulani Disney Resort is finally going to open next Fall. As most of you know, I am a huge Disney fan and an even bigger Hawaii fan so the combination of the two may be the next best pair since peanut butter met jelly.

Sure the beaches, weather and attractions are amazing in Hawaii but the most wonderful thing about the beautiful islands is the CULTURE and HISTORY. Disney worked hand in hand with Hawaiians to make sure that this resort is one that will celebrate and embrace the values and culture of the island. The name "Aulani" has more than one meaning, the place that speaks for the ancestors and the place that speaks with deep messages.

The resort is located on the West coast of Oahu in Ko Olina ("place of joy"). A few highlights include:

* 21 acres
* 460 Disney Vacation Club Villas, including 21 Grand Villas
* 359 hotel rooms, including 16 suites
* 4 restaurants
* 2 lounges
* 18,000-square-foot spa with 15 treatment rooms and fitness center

Whoa! DH and I want to definitely go back to HI someday, but will probably go to another island. We may have to do O'AHU again with this!
