I’m so sorry that this is being posted in the new year! Right after my Christmas Disney Cali trip, I ended up becoming sick with bronchitis (for the first time ever) which has been really hard combined with my chronic illness fibromyalgia! After a couple of weeks of illness, I am now in the final stages of it. I finally got my voice back and was able to do the voiceover for this video.
Anyway!!!! In this video, I share my time moving from the Moana Surf Rider hotel at Waikiki to Aulani. I briefly share the very popular outdoor mall Ala Moana Shopping Center with you, as well as a second trip to Liliha Bakery on the way to Aulani.
After arriving at Aulani, I share the good and the bad of our experience with you! This includes a room tour, how the staff treated us (again both good and bad), character meet and greets, food, and more. I also share A TON of Aulani merchandise with you and share my opinions on that regarding quality, etc. This trip was a huge learning experience for both my mother & me but we made the best of it. We had gone into it thinking that we were going to love it and become regulars here since we have family in Hawaii and visit often. Watch my video to get a feel for the resort and hear my honest opinions about it. With that being said thank you to the cast members who DID make us feel welcome!!!
