Disney has always been a place of magic; the parks experience never gets old. Having been in different Disney resorts however the experience has been less than magical. The Aulani resort is a beautiful place too but it's amenities need a lot of fairy dust. To find available sitting pool side is next to impossible, not to mention the beach. If you are able to find any chairs in the pool area the resort staff are passive-aggressively checking that you're in them otherwise they would take your stuff to make the chairs available for other guests (they should have more chairs!). The food and dining availability is limited; what they have is good, but the pricing is very expensive. I have not seen enough Disney characters either; if I want a picture with one of them I need to buy a meal first! The staff is polite but almost to a minimum capacity; they could be more accodating. Again more fairy dust for Aulani. Aloha and Mahalo, but Disney falls short.
