It’s been TWO years since I was sent to Hawaii to visit Disney Aulani as a member of the press. I miss is every time this year and this year has been particularly hard. Why? Because I’ve been to Disney World and Disneyland and it just doesn’t feel right to go so dang long without hanging out on the beach with Mickey. For those of you who weren’t following Celiac and the Beast when I went to Hawaii – here’s one post that recaps my fun time in Hawaii with Disney as a SheKnows Expert.
This whole flashback started because I was recently interviewed by Sarah of GFDF WDW on her DISNEY PODCAST! You can listen to the Aulani specific podcast here: http://gfdfwdw.podbean.com/e/episode-028-disneys-aulani-resort/

Still looking for more? I’ve posted several videos from Aulani on my YouTube page and have a ton of posts on Aulani on this site and with SheKnows. I’ve divided them up below sorted by topic for easy access for you!

My final thoughts? Visit Aulani! While it may not be for those looking for non-stop rides and entertainment, it’s Hawaii, it’s beautiful, you can eat safely there, and there are still plenty of things to do at Aulani.
Disclaimer: Disney Aulani Resort provided complimentary travel, room and board, and certain experiences (including dining) as part of the press trip. While I was provided these items free of cost as a member of the press, it does not affect any reviews on experiences I had at the resort.
LOVE!! Still working on my Disney recap. One day I’ll make it to Hawaii and be as cool as you! 😉
That is so great! Disney is amazing!
Looks so fun!
I feel so bad for you that you had to take on this brutal assignment. You have my eternal sympathy, wait, I mean envy. 😉
