Aloha Andrew,
E Komo Mai, welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy to hear from a fellow Canadian, thanks for asking a question about
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. My family had the most incredible stay at Aulani, we can't wait to return! The resort has such a beautiful mix of Hawaiian art and history with a sprinkle of Disney magic, there's so much to take in.
Soon, you'll be trading Canada’s winter chill for warm ocean breezes! A refillable mug from
Ulu Cafe or
Kalepa's Store is a great way to stay hydrated while soaking up the sun. With several styles to choose from, each mug comes with a secure, spill-resistant lid—perfect for strolling around the resort. You can refill them with a variety of soft drinks (Coke products) and tea at self-service beverage stations for the length of your stay. My husband liked starting the day with coffee in the room, then pouring it into his reusable mug to enjoy by the Waikolohe Valley pool.
Tip: While you're at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, don’t miss the
Pau Hana Room – Community Hall! This lively space is packed with games, activities, and fun for all ages. My kids loved hanging out here! It’s also where you can sign up for daily experiences (subject to change) like the Menehune Adventure Trail (my family loved doing this at night for an extra touch of magic in the dark) Aulani-inspired Mickey Ear crafting, ‘ukulele lessons, and Kāpala Ki‘i, a t-shirt stamping activity. I also highly recommend checking the Daily ‘Iwa, which outlines the week’s events, including where to meet Characters, feeding times at Rainbow Reef, and beach activities your family might enjoy!
Have a magical vacation at Aulani, Andrew. If you have any other questions, please
let me know!
Enjoy making magical memories,
Candace
