Aulani is a 21 acre beachside resort in Ko Olina, on the west side of Oahu. Walt Disney Imagineers worked hand in hand with local artisans and cultural experts to create Aulani, inspired by the natural wonders and rich traditions of Hawaii.
In this video we explore Waikalohe Pool, Ka Maka Grotto Spa, Volcanic Vertical and Tubestone Curl as well as the expansive Lazy River, whimsical Menehune Bridge, Keiki Cove Splash Zone, and Rainbow Reef's saltwater snorkeling lagoon.
Disney characters encountered on our trip inclue Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Max, Stich, Moana, Shellie May and Donald. We also enjoyed meeting and interacting with the performers from the Ka Wa'A Lu'Au.
Aulani is built in Ko Olina Lagoon 1 and we enjoyed beach activities, ending a day watching the sunset, snorkeling and even had a family sunset photo session. On and around the property we encountered many animals including sea turtles at Paradise Cove Public Beach, Hawaiian monk seals, mongoose, crabs, jelly fish, koi fish, tropical fish, casts, and lizards.
Activities we enjoyed and cover in this video inclue Aunty's Beach House Kids' program, Family Fun Animation, Menehune Trail iPad Adventure, Ohana Movie Nights, and making your own Mickey Ears. The Ka Wa'A Lu'Au was the highlight of our trip with amazing food and entertainment.
Aulani caters to young families with many quick serve and casual dining options that include Ulu Cafe, Mama's Snack Shop, and more. Sit down options including Ama Ama and Makahiki are great as well, with the latter being the location of the Character Breakfast.
We also share ways to save money at Aulani and tips to make the most of your stay. From downloading and planning on the Aulani App, to booking with discounts, to reserving the Lu'Au and Aunty's Beach House program well before your stay, proper planning will help you get the most out of this bucket list dream destination.

@FamilywithFour
@FamilywithFour 6 месяцев назад
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's means a lot to us! Two nights, three full days should be enough time. I believe you can use the Waterpark the morning you check in so you could get extra time as your room probably won't be ready until 4pm but you can add 5+ hours on property by doing it this way. We loved the lu'au so you may want to book around the availability as it does book up if you want to have an amazing show! Ama Ama does book up as well but it was just above our budget. Your kids will have an amazing time we loved having ours there at those ages! If you have any questions we would be happy to answer!

Hello, thanks for the review! Very informative. I’m curious how you got a family of 6 in the 1 bedroom villa? We have 4 young kids as well and were hoping to stay in the 1 bedroom villa for cost and because we don’t need a 2 bedroom villa that sleeps 9 people… just wondering if you got any push back from the resort or issues getting 6 wristbands or anything like that? Thanks again
@FamilywithFour
@FamilywithFour 11 месяцев назад
That is a great question and one of the reasons why we went when we did. Our fourth had to be aged 2 or younger to still fit in a 1 bedroom villa. Once he turns three, we would outgrow the ability to stay in this room size and would have to switch to a 2 bedroom (or just get two regular rooms). If we were to stay at Aulani again, we would most likely just get 2 regular rooms. This would be an important consideration as we did see Aulani management address staff who tried to get wristbands that exceeded the room limit. You would lose your own washer and dryer and kitchen doing this, but it should still be the cheapest way to stay at Aulani. We learned this age cutoff when we stayed two years ago and made sure we went one more time in the "sweetspot" of kids ages. Thank you for watching and don't hesitate to ask us for any other tips or tricks if you end up going!

@Caseydesiree

What is there to do for ages 2 and 13? We live on Oahu but still have yet to go… idk if it’s worth it for us due to the kids ages and we’ve lived in Hawaii since 2014…
@FamilywithFour
@FamilywithFour 10 месяцев назад
We would say age 2 is on the younger end and age 13 may be on the older end, especially if your oldest isn't a big Disney fan. We have met locals on our time at Aulani that bring their kids to enjoy the waterpark area on special occasions like their birthdays. Our two year old liked the beach, water areas, and meeting the characters the most. Our oldest was 10 at the time and she liked the Lu'Au and waterslides the most. Activities that weren't in our video but could be fun would be ukulele lessons, stargazing, and making Mickey ears.

We called the photography staff at (808) 674-6988 once we checked in to our room and they gave us the availability. On our stay, we were able to book the same day we called but availability may vary. We booked on the phone then had to pre-pay in person at the Pau Hana Room (this is the location of many activities including the iPad adventure, making Minnie mouse ears, etc.)

Auntys beach house I thought was 4-12yr old? My girl will be turning 3 at Aulani.
@FamilywithFour
@FamilywithFour Год назад
You are correct. The Aulani website definitely says ages 4-12 right now. When we went in January 2023 it was actually ages 5-12 (I just checked our registration form again). I know 2 years ago it was completely closed, before that the drop in times were open (like a cruise) and I believe then it was ages 3+. We did a Disney Cruise in November, and it was ages 3+ with a nursery for toddlers even younger than three. I guess, stay current and they may open the younger age group up. Let us know if you have other questions we can help clarify!

It is called Paradise Cove Public Beach, about a 6 minute walk north from Aulani. You exit Aulani back to Aliinui Dr and walk until a large public parking lot, which you walk through and go down a pathway. We actually made another short video dedicated to our experience here that shows more of what you would expect and how to get there: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M0hYPWxVy58.html
