Aloha Denise,
Ah, your questions have me dreaming about the beautiful shores of the Ko Olina Lagoon in front of the stunning
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. From the moment my family stepped onto the grounds, we felt like we were in paradise - with a touch of Disney magic
Just like at Disney Resort hotels at Walt Disney World, Guests staying at Aulani can purchase refillable resort mugs. Throughout your stay, you can enjoy unlimited refills of soft drinks, with machines conveniently located at
Ulu Café near the Rainbow Reef.
As a Disney Vacation Club Member, you're eligible to receive perks ranging from complimentary laundry (see the Front Desk for tokens), and complimentary parking to joining the weekly DVC Member Celebration. You'll also find discounts on beach rentals at

Since you’re excited to explore beyond the resort, you’re in for such a treat! Whether it’s a drive up to the North Shore for shrimp trucks and shave ice or a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor (a deeply moving experience and a meaningful way to connect with history), your island adventures will be unforgettable.
How special that you honeymooned in Hawai‘i - what a full-circle moment to return for your anniversary! Between cabana days, adventures around O‘ahu, and a little Disney magic sprinkled in, you’re sure to make many incredible core memories. No matter how you decide to spend your time, you'll find a wonderful balance of Disney touches and island beauty.
Here’s to sunshine, ocean breezes, and unforgettable memories!
