Review of Aulani, A Disney Resort and Sp...

We are staying here for a week for family vacation...

We are staying here for a week for family vacation and to celebrate my daughter's second birthday. We are Disney fans and are thoroughly enjoying the resort. It is very family friendly from the rooms, to the amenities and the restaurants. Your kids can go just about anywhere and there is so much for them to do. My daughter was too young to be left at aunt's house ( a sort of day care). But we wouldn't have left her there anyway, not our type of vacation. They lost activities for teenagers as well, and there is enough for them to do here too. I had heard complaints that resort wasn't Disney enough. After being here I think it's just right. I am in Hawaii and expect to be surrounded more by Hawaii culture than Mickey and mini. You will see plenty of characters at their character dining and just walking around the resort. You will also see them at Aunty' s house. That was enough for us. The resort itself is beautiful. It has a private cove where there water is very calm which is perfect for a toddler to swim/wade. The pools here are really nice too. There is a lazy river that even my toddler was able to enjoy. There is also a water play area with mini slides and fountains everywhere. All in all I would come back again. We are having the time of our lives!
