Disney’s Aulani beachfront resort is on the leeward side of the island of Oahu. Away from the crowds of Waikiki, nestled between lush green mountains and beautiful ocean waters.
The resort blends Hawaiian traditions with the magical Disney storytelling to create a world-class getaway for all ages.
The property features seemingly endless aquatic fun for everyone in the family. There’s the “Waikolohe Stream” lazy river, a private snorkeling lagoon and even a conservation pool where guests can learn about stingrays with the guidance of marine biologists.
When I was little, the hotel pool always seemed to be the highlight of a family getaway. (Hey, I grew up in Chicago….pools were a big deal!) The minute I laid eyes on the endless water fun here at Aulani, I longed to be 10 years old again!
But then again, this is Hawaii. Lounging on the sand by the ocean is a requirement…
That’s precisely what makes Aulani so special. There is something for everyone and exciting options for all ages. Whether it is meeting the Disney characters over brunch, careening down a water slide, or simply relaxing to the soothing sounds of ocean waves. Aulani is the best of all worlds, while feeling a world away.

My ultimate getaway is a Hawaiian cruise.
My dream holiday is Hawaii. My husband and I were married there and I would love to take our three kids there. We would play in the ocean, build sandcastles. I would definitely eat some fresh papaya and a piece of hula pie from dukes!
My ultimate getaway would either be Hawaii or Alaska, since I’ve been to neither. My last vacation was 15 years ago, so anywhere would be fine!
I think I would take a long trip around Europe. Italy, Greece, Sweden, Scotland. I want to take photos of all the beautiful landscapes and eat any and all of the local foods.
Our family would love a tour of theme parks, especially those with great coasters
Travel is my middle name — I am ready when you are, passport included. Bon Voyage and
Bon Appetit, Y’all!
I want to see the ocean for the first time and take my fiance to the most romantic destination possible!
Met my husband during Navy duty in Wahiawa. Would love to take our son back and show him where we met. Take him to the Arizona Memorial. Enjoy the shaved ice and just tour the island. Although our son is eleven, and insists he is already a teen, he says he is not yet too old for a Disney vacation. Would love to oblige him at Aulani. The fresh local produce there is second to none. I miss the taste!
If i go to hawaii..The first thing is: Go see Pearl Harbor..And walk on the sand and enjoy there history..And do little hiking and look for angle waterfall..and do little shopping and some great food and watch there dancing too
Dream vacation is anywhere with a beach, sun, waves to relax by while sipping a margarita!
My dream holiday is also Hawaii. My husband and I would take Hula lessons and go to a luai. We would be sure to eat lots of pork and pineapple.
My dream vacation is Hawaii! It’s a running joke in my family, that I will never go – both my parents went (separately before meeting each other), my husband went with his family for a vacation, and little old me has only dreamt of the islands. I would love to sit in the sand, eat my way around the islands and of course eat at Sam Choy’s.
My ultimate getaway would be somewhere for just my husband and myself. Hawaii or Jamaica. Anywhere warm and tropical where we could have some much needed QT
My dream vacation would be to take my mom on a cruise. It doesn’t even matter where we’d go..she’s done so much for me and is such a great person, I’d love to be able to do that for her!

I haven’t traveled much….so there are a lot of places I would love to go. Just a beautiful hotel with all the luxuries would do for me…room service so we could order in quite a bit. A massage would be great…the more I am thinking about it a spa would be a wonderful place to go…for my husband and myself to just sit around and relax and sit by the pool, etc. We are not fussy eaters so we are always willing to try new things…about the only thing I wouldn’t try is raw fish.
My ultimate getaway would be Key West. We love spending time by the water, bicycling through Old Town, and watching the sunset at Mallory Square. And oh the food!!!! From conch fritters at the Square to authentic cuban food in a local diner to a 5 star meal of seared tuna they have everything you could want!

Yum!
Cooking is not science it’s cooking! Follow recipes but I. Believe a good recipe should be some what forgiving. It’s great to follow a recipe 100% however if you run out of an ingredient and instead of having a cup you only half a 1/2 the recipe should not suffer. Enjoy cooking and have fun. Don’t get stressed out!

Hawaii is always my top choice – give me a mai tai with an umbrella and I am happy! But my ultimate dream getaway would be to go to Maya Ubud Resort and Spa in Bali. I am not familiar with Indonesian food, but would fully take advantage of the asian cuisine and would try anything I could identify & that wasn’t too out of the ordinary.

We are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in a couple of days. We didn’t plan a trip due to the economic times and the stability of my husbands job.

Go to a luai, find some wonderful little places to eat, china town to shop, and of course the beach a time or two. We like to find the places that the locals enjoy. No touristy places.

My aunt went there about 20 years ago and said that her cousins still live in the same Village (Canalo) and they still grow their own fruits and vegetables and make their own homemade pasta. I would arrive in Rome and eat my way through the country. There is NOTHING better than Italian food!
Hawaii has been calling/singing to me across the beautiful Pacific Ocean since I was a Flight Attendant with stopovers there in the mid-1980′s…My husband has never been there, has been a military contractor in Europe for over 8 years, I hold down the home-front in Seattle — would absolutely LOVE to share Hawaii with him and the new Aulani Resort would be the most amazing experience I can imagine for us both!! Mahalo

Would love to go back to Hawaii. My husband and I met there for his R&R from Viet Nam in 1968. We didn’t have much money so did a “budget” tour for the few days we had together before he had to go back to the war. Would love to go to the outer islands which we never got to see. Would also like to go to Alaska as both our sons spent time there working for Pelican Seafoods.

From the delicious Belgian chocolates at Leonidas to the handcrafted Belgian beer that refreshes you after a long day of sight seeing, this is one remarkable city! There are canals, cobblestone market areas, quaint cafes, beautiful churches (one that contains a Michelangelo Madonna and Child worth seeing!), and some of the most delicious foods you’ll ever taste!

My fiance and I have talked about going to the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana, “La Bandera” (the flag), the most popular national dish in Dominican Republic, is a combination of rice, red beans, stewed meat (usually goat), salad and fried plantains. Comida Criolla is also popular. It is a stewed chicken dish served with rice and beans. The only true Taino dishes that are still common are Casabe – flat bread made from the yucca plant. The plant is shredded, soaked and pressed to have the poisonous components of the plant removed. Casava, another Taino dish, is a type of fritter that is stuffed with meat, chicken or fish.

My grandfather was from Italy, my daughter did her “study abroad” in Italy and I’ve always loved Italian history, art, architecture, opera and food – I can think of no better vacation than a trip to the eternal city – Rome. And while on vacation, to be able to eat, without guilt, as many different pasta dishes as possible would be absolute heaven.
Thailand! Sai oua sausage from chiang mai. Mmmm

Hmmm I always though I would love to go to England, but as I’ve grown older I would appreciate somewhere, much quieter and slower, the beach would be wonderful with warm waves. I’d do some resting, sleeping, relaxing, and would not really be picky about whatever my cabana boy wants to cook for me! Oh yes and do the dishes! Bliss
I want to go to Fiji. I want to swim in the ocean and view all the different fish there. Also drink and eat the different fruit that grows there. The peace and quiet would be heaven.
India, no question! Taj Mahal and all the Indian food I can cram in my pie hole and I truly mean it.

My dream is to one day visit Hawaii and her surrounding islands. I would take my better half of 27 years with me. When we go to a place we love to try the food of the locals, so we would go to some off the wall and local dining places. You need to immerse yourself with the locals to get a feel of the place your visiting.
One of those wishes I hope comes true some day. I hope to visit Hawaii and the other islands.

I first visited Hawaii 22 years ago in 1990, fell in love with the place but and didnt go back again until 21 years later (2011). It just reminds me of my Island home; It’s where one gets the best of both worlds: the laid back Pacific Island style together with the modern, developed lifestyle. I just love Hawaii and would visit it more often with my kids if I could afford it.
I fell in love with Hawaii when I first visited in 22 years ago in 1990. I didnt get to visit again until 2011… it is a beautiful, magical place where I would love to take my children someday (if I could afford it!!)

My ultimate dream get away would be a time that all my children and grand children (both biological and “adopted”) could get together to spend time on a Disney cruise.

Everyone would be together to enjoy each other. Hmmmmm…I person can dream, right?

Ever since my youngest daughter was little she loved family trips. Even though we now have grandchildren and she is about to get married, she still dream of all being together in some tropical climate since we live in Alaska. I am saving every penny to try and make hers and my, dream come true….we would relish every wave from the sea and enjoy all the fresh fruit and warm breezes.
The Hawaiian give away sounds great. My son went to Hawaii a few years back and brought me Kona coffee and macadamia nut cookies back. It was such a treat, but I have’nt had any since. It would be so nice to win.

Their award winning menu choices are magic within themselves. Combined with the magic of Disney, you have pure heaven!
I dream of going to Hawaii and lying on the beach soaking up the sun and swiming in the ocean. Maybe taking in an evening cruise. Would love to see some whales some day while in Hawaiian Islands.
I have been to Hawaii on the most romantic honeymoon and our souvenir turned 12 yesterday. I will be honest I do not need a vacation but my 66 and 67 year old parents both got laid off 2 weeks ago. They have not had a vacation in about 15 years. I would love to give them a dream vacation

But mostly spend my days playing in the ocean being thrashed around by the enormous waves!
I would love to go to Paris and tour the city and eat authentic food from there country!

My dream trip is New Orleans. I love the atmosphere and the Cajun food is to die for. I need a few months to take it all in.
Every ‘odd’ year in September time-frame, there is a clan gathering in Ireland. I have been wanting to go since 2005 but something always seems to get in the way. Of course, what I want to eat is the “Full Irish” breakfast.

Hawaii is truly paradise. The warm breezes, the sunsets, the water, and the lush green tropical setting is breathtaking. I would love to to to Aulani! Wow! That mai-tai looks pretty tempting in the picture, too. I’ll picture myself there now!
The last vacation I was on was with my wife and three kids. That was a long time ago.
My dream vacation would be with my wife just the two of us. It wouldn’t matter where as long as it was with her. My wife since 1979. A long time together and I am still crazy about her.

I would love to go to Maui. Snorkeling every day and observing the unbelievable sea life up close would be amazing. The striking colors, the shapes, and the intriguing pattern on these creatures can only be described as a peek into the wonders of Nature. Lounging at the pool or beach, going on a helicopter ride over the seven waterfalls, and evening entertainment would relax and entertain us. This fantasy vacation, spent in an adult luxury hotel with easy access to these treats, would tie up this dream vacation with a big bow and provide us warm memories of one of the most loveliest place on Earth.
Warm beaches here I come.
going to Hawaii soon. Love that place. Looking forward to lying on the beach.
I love all of the Islands. Would love to go back and enjoy the food and drinks again.

When I think of Hawaii I think of fresh! Fresh pineapple, fruit, seafood! I would love to go to a Luau with the beautiful dancers and the smoked pork and have some yummy frozen cocktails! I think I would like to try to surf and see a volcano and the pearl harbor memorial, but mostly relax, relax relax!
Hawaii would be my first choice, the food, the waters, the views, and the cocktails on the beach.
About the only thing on my bucket list is to go to Hawaii. We are retired and the way the ecomony is it is out of reach to so. I think that any of their food would be a delite to eat.

It would be great to see Hawaii again after 58 years–I learned to swim at Waikiki beach. Since my husband and I never had a honeymoon, that would be a great 30th anniversary trip. I dream of the beaches, and he dreams of the food.
Anywhere with blue water and warm weather.
My dream vacation is Greece- I would love to see the beautiful coast and eat the wonderful grecian food!

Southern Italy with the hubs, I want to see the water, the countryside, the vineyards and eat gelato in the afternoon.
My dream getaway would be an alaskan cruise, my fiance and I both want to do this, because it is a wonderful way to see the beautiful scenery. I have seen pictures and would love to get upclose and personal.
Would love to visit HAwaii again. I remember the cool moist air and the clear blue waters.
Hawaii is the dream vacation spot in the whole world. Flew in to Oahu on our 35th wedding anniversary and stayed in a resort close to Diamond Head near the beach. Awesome. On our 41st wedding anniversary we took a cruise to four of the Hawaiian Islands and loved every minute of it including the relaxed “Hawaiian Time”, huli huli chicken, tours of the volcano and the incredibly friendly people. We made lasting memories in Hawaii and would love to go back.
I would love a cruise to Hawaii and the islands.
My dream to visit Hawaii while I can still walk and talk. The island cruise would be a dream come true.
My dream vacation would be to visit Alaska-the last great frontier
HAVING LIVED IN HAWAII BEFORE AND KNOWING OF THE FINE CUISINE, I WILL BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE THIS ALOHA PACKAGE TO ENJOY.
My ultimate dream getaway would be for me and my husband to go to Hawaii. We never had a honeymoon, and have never gone on a trip for just the two of us without our children in the 14 years we have been married. It would be heaven!
My dream vacation would be to go to Hawaii! I would love to stay in a hotel right by the ocean. I would want to try the Kona coffee, and the fresh pineapple right from the fields! * And would definitely like to learn how to do the hula dance.
My favorite vacation was on the island of Tahiti, but Moorea and Bora Bora were very nice too. I visited there about twenty years ago and the native people were in just as much awe of us as we were of them. Now there (the Society Islands) would be a great place for Disney to build a new resort.
After twenty years, I am still talking about how great a time we had.
Leaving San Diego and going on a Hawaiian Cruise would be the best of the best.
In Hawaii – visited 3 islands -for 25th anniversary- delicious food, beautiful weather and scenery. Would love to go back and cruise the islands. Too bad it is so far or would be a snow bird there in a minute.
never been- Hawaii, hopefully here I come!!!
