Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, is a beachside resort hotel at the Ko Olina Resort in Kapolei, Hawaii, on the island of Oahu. Alongside Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort and Disney's Vero Beach Resort, Aulani claims to be Disney's third "stand-alone" hotel located in an area without any adjacent theme parks. Aulani was opened to the public on August 29, 2011, with 359 hotel rooms and 460 time-share villas on 21 acres. As of 2018, there were 351 rooms (in two 15-story towers), including 16 suites and 481 villas, most being "2-bedroom-equivalent." In October 2018, there were three restaurants with seating (Makahiki, Ulu Cafe, and 'AMA'AMA) as well as smaller outlets providing snacks, including the 'Off the Hook' poolside lounge. The resort project was announced in October 2007, releasing its name in January 2010. The word ‘Aulani’ in Hawaiian can be loosely translated as "orange" or "with deep messages." When the word is used as a name, it can mean "message from the chief." With an estimated cost of $800 million, the project aimed to generate about 1,000 jobs at the resort. Disney Vice President Djuan Rivers managed the project, and it was designed by Joe Rohde of Walt Disney Imagineering. Timeshare sales commenced on July 15, 2010, with room reservations becoming available in August 2010. Nevertheless, on August 12, 2011, Disney suspended Aulani's timeshare sales and terminated three executives, among them Disney Vacation Club president Jim Lewis. This decision was made in response to senior management's recognition that the annual dues had been set too low to adequately cover maintenance costs. Timeshare sales were later resumed; however, specific sales figures have remained unclear since 2010 due to gaps in published information. In March 2019, the resort was named "Best Hotels/Accommodations – Luxury Accommodations" in the 2019 aio Media Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Awards. Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated with Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo, Architects Hawaii Ltd, and cultural experts to design and construct a theme that celebrates the customs and tradition of Hawaii. The company also created an advisory council of Hawaiian elders to ensure authenticity to Hawaiian culture. A review in 2018 stated that "the modus operandi at Aulani is 'Big H, Little D,' as in: big emphasis on Hawaiian traditions and history, with just a little bit of Disney fairy dust sprinkled over the experience." Other reviews specified the Disney influence as including poolside visits by characters, Mickey-shaped foods, and character breakfasts and dinners. Characters that one could meet at the resort included (as of October 2023) Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip 'n' Dale, Stitch from Lilo & Stitch, Duffy the Disney Bear, Shellie May, 'Olu Mel and Moana from the eponymous 2016 film. As of February 2021, Angel (Experiment 624) from the Lilo & Stitch franchise began making appearances at the resort. All character and guest interactions were socially distanced during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hawaii. When hiring staff members, candidates with Hawaiian language skills are preferred for all jobs as part of the resort's plan to expose guests to the language of the land. #hawaii #aulani #dvc #disneyaulani FTC Legal Disclaimer - Some links found in the description of this video may be affiliate links, meaning we will make commission on sales you make through our link.
