Aloha, Chloe!
What can I say, except you're welcome here at planDisney and we are so glad you sailed by with your question. Chloe, I am unsure which Resort you are inquiring about but I am assuming you are asking if you can get a day pass for
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. I will answer your question about this Resort. However, if you are inquiring about a different location, feel free to write back to me and I'll be sure to get the answers you need.
One of my favorite
Disney Vacation Club Resorts, Aulani offers the best of both worlds - the magic of Disney combined with the spirit of Aloha. Our family has visited numerous times, as we travel to Hawaii every year. And there's no place I'd rather be than flying by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride at Aulani.
Now, the pools and water areas, beach, and onsite activities are not open for day Guests. They are reserved exclusively for overnight Guests of Aulani. However, typically, you can visit the Resort, shop, walk around, and enjoy one of its several world-class dining locations as a day Guest. I would call before you go just to make sure they have dining availability on the day you wish to visit.
I highly recommend the
Makahiki Character Breakfast, where beloved Disney characters (in their Resort attire, of course) join Aunty or Uncle for a festive morning of songs and celebration. Be sure to get the Buttermilk Pancakes with macadamia nut-Tahitian vanilla sauce (I'm quite sure Moana eats it for breakfast as it is the taste of the islands.) Keiki can enjoy a variety of options including the famous Mickey waffles.
For a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset meal, you can enjoy dinner at
'AMA'AMA, an open-air restaurant with some of the most delicious locally grown and resourced ingredients. Watching a Hawaiian sunset is a must-do, and this restaurant is perfectly situated to enjoy a spectacular one.
If you are looking for a luau,
Aulani's KA WA'A luau is open to Guests not staying at the Resort. My family loves this luau, as kids can enjoy learning about Hawaiian culture and try their hands at some of the traditional Hawaiian activities. My kids loved making a wrist lei, playing the ukulele, and learning to make poi. A delicious feast follows (with keiki-friendly Bento-style meals) and a wonderful show of Hawaiian music, dancing, and storytelling with special Guests.
My tip is to book the Preferred Seating. While there is no bad seat at the luau, Preferred Seating Guests get an earlier entrance and sit closer to the stage. You can make this reservation online. However, if you are unable to get the date you need, I recommend calling the hotel as they may have access to additional reservations and can book it for you.
I hope this helps you, Chloe. If you have any further questions stop back here to see me. As your wayfinder to assist you, there's no telling how far I'll go to get you the answers you seek!
