Character Experiences
Disney magic is everywhere at Aulani and you can say ALOHA to all of our favorite Disney pals: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Chip ‘n Dale, Goofy, Max, Stitch, Angel, Duffy, Shellie May, ‘Olu Mel and of our very own Moana! Character meet and greet experiences are on the Hālāwai Lawn or Kīpuka Lawn, with characters often strolling around the resort near the pool areas; and on rainy days characters may be relocated near the Makahiki Restaurant. If you are vacationing during the month of October, characters are often in their Halloween costumes! If you are vacationing during the Christmas holidays, characters may be in their holiday attire … you may even see Santa Mickey! Check the Aulani App, call Toon Finder, x2447, from your hotel room, or ask a cast member in purple aloha wear for the most current list of characters, times, and locations.
Pau Hana Room – Community Hall
The Pau Hana Room located on the ground floor near the pools and The Daily ‘Iwa (activities calendar and daily schedule available online or on the Aulani App) lists the daily activities available to resort guests of all ages. Some of the most popular activities included in your stay at no additional cost are Menehune Adventure Trail (digital scavenger hunt throughout Aulani that children love!), ‘Ukulele and Hula Lessons, Poolside Stories, Rainbow Reef Fish Feeding, Pin Trading and ‘Ohana Movie Nights on the Lawn. Popular Premium Experiences with an additional cost include Make Your Own Mickey Ears, ‘Ohana Painting Party, Stargazing and snorkeling at Rainbow Reef. Some classes require registration and fill quickly so be sure to visit the Pau Hana Room in the morning.
The ‘Ōlelo Room
A must do dining experience at Aulani is at The ‘Ōlelo Room with live Hawaiian entertainment by some of Hawai’i’s most talented and popular musicians, tropical cocktails, and savory island appetizers. This indoor and outdoor dining area was inspired by the Hawaiian language (‘ōlelo Hawai‘i) and is one of the most unique dining experiences, with Hawaiian language inspired decor and menu, and cast members who are fluent in Hawaiian. It is an experience like no other to dine under the Hawaiian moon enjoying beautiful Hawaiian music and island inspired food and drinks.
Ka Wa‘a Lū‘au
A trip to Hawai’i would not be complete without a lū‘au dinner and show, and Ka Wa’a, a Lū‘au at Aulani will not disappoint. Guests immerse themselves in cultural activities before dinner such as lei making, pa’i’ai (taro pounding), and ‘ukulele lessons; with a traditional lū‘au dinner (menu options can be modified to accommodate guests’ dietary restrictions); and a spectacular show and enchanting journey of hula and song with a special appearance by Mickey and Minnie.
