Relaxed rooms, suites & villas in a Disney resort with lively restaurants, outdoor pools & a spa. Aulani is a resort hotel located next to Disney Park Hawaii, at Ko Olina Resort & Marina in Kapolei, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. When you show your Disney Rewards redemption card at restaurants, when you make purchases or when you check out, you will be charged your Disney Rewards dollars. Traditional Hawaiian symbolism is carefully woven throughout its design, and the resort draws inspiration from Hawaiian culture and family traditions to weave it all together.
Other luxury resorts cannot do so to the same extent because they must comply with strict brand rules dictated by parent companies. Ko Olina in Hawaii is home to Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, a stunning Resort where the magic of Disney and the wonder of Hawaii* meet. Many may assume they know what to expect from a Disney resort for their theme park visits, but when Walt Disney Imagineers create resorts without a haunted mansion nearby, the result is much calmer. Disney Collection trade-in options and all Concierge Pickup options are not available for property interests that have not been purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc.
All other groceries can be delivered or purchased at the nearby mall to which there is a shuttle service from the resort. In fact, Disney argues that Aulani is home to one of the largest collections of contemporary Hawaiian art. Imagine a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience tailored specifically to break the boundaries of the resort's casual. If money isn't an issue for you or you're a Disney fan who is strictly committed to staying here, this is the perfect resort for you.
Tori Richard, who has been designing Hawaiian resort wear since the 1950s, created an exclusive pattern for Aulani that is used on shirts for boys and dresses for girls. It's not a theme park, per se, but a very themed family resort and spa where the theme is the Hawaiian Islands. With its connection to the Disney Vacation Club, Aulani is the third Disney hotel without an adjacent theme park located in an area devoid of Disney attractions. However, in Aulani's vision, the Disney Imagineers decided to avoid fantasy and explore the richness of their location and celebrate their legacy and sense of place in a way that few Hawaiian resorts do or bother to try.
