Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa [2011]

Moi aussi je serais très intéressé par trip report.
Bon c'est surtout pour me faire rêver parce qu'au niveau budget, ça tape un peu quand même...  

Premier épisode d'une nouvelle série, Meet Aulani’s ‘Ohana, qui présente différents cast members du resort hawaiien.

On débute avec Janelle Sanqui, Ambassadeur Disney pour Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa :

Alors que Hong Kong Disneyland présentera début juillet le nouvel ami de Duffy the Disney Bear, le resort hawaïen annonce qu'il accueillera lui aussi prochainement un nouvel ami de l'ourson favori des fans chinois et japonais ! S'agit-il du même personnage ? Pas nécessairement !

Voici la tortue 'Olu, le nouvel ami de Duffy the Disney Bear qui fera ses débuts au complexe hôtelier Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa le 27 juillet prochain !

ʻOlu, Duffy’s Newest Friend, Makes Your Heart Sing at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Duffy’s new friend ‘Olu is making his global debut at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, in Ko Olina, Hawaiʻi with an exclusive new line of merchandise on July 27, and I’m so excited to share their beautiful story of friendship with you! Here’s how they met:

As Mickey and Duffy sailed the islands on a quest to find the perfect birthday present for ShellieMay, rhythmic sounds of an ‘ukulele called to them over the ocean, leading them to a cozy cove and to ‘Olu, a kindhearted turtle playing happy music.

‘Olu smiled and shyly greeted Duffy, “I play my ‘ukulele to make songs of love. Want to sing with me?” ‘Olu strummed a beautiful song for his new friends. “That will be the perfect present for ShellieMay!” said Duffy excitedly. Off to the party they went, singing the special song together for their birthday friend.

'Olu attend une visite... Un nouveau visage ?

Duffy’s friend to visit Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

When you visit Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, the first thing you want to do when you return is tell all of your friends and family how amazing it is and share the aloha spirit!

Mickey and Duffy did this recently as well and one of Duffy’s friends was all ears! Stay tuned to see who is coming with Mickey and Duffy for a visit to Hawai‘i. I bet ‘Olu is going to serenade his new friend with his ‘ukulele!

Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa, Welcomes StellaLou, a Dancing Bunny Friend of Duffy

Duffy’s friend StellaLou is making her first visit to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Here is how she decided that she just had to visit and find out about the hula, Hawaiian dance:



One day, Mickey and Duffy were sharing their memories from their recent trip to Hawai‘i. Excited and curious, Duffy’s friends were all ears! As Mickey and Duffy talked about all of the things they saw and experienced, what caught StellaLou’s attention was the Hawaiian dance they talked about. Curious about all kinds of dance, StellaLou decided that she needed to experience this dance for herself. Her dreams were about to come true as she joined Mickey and Duffy on a trip to the Hawaiian Islands.

Bonjour à tous,

Nous sommes allés 3 fois à Disneworld et en Disney Cruiseline et une bonne dizaine de fois à DLP, nous adorons les parcs Disney et j’aimerai avoir votre avis sur le Disney Vacation Club.

Cela fait un moment que je me demande si je dois franchir le pas ou non et notamment en achetant les points à Aulani, qui est la destination le plus chère…

Alors si il y a des DVC members, j’aimerai avoir votre avis sur le coût mensuel des charges, sur les disponibilités des chambres, l’entretien et est-ce que le fait d’être DVC offre vraiment des avantages à Aulani ?

Merci

Bonjour Jonathan, je suis membre depuis 2007, les charges dépendent de ce que tu achètes (lieux et nombres de points) mais en moyenne il faut compter 6$ par point par an (j'ai 160 points au Saratoga et 100 points au Grand Californian et je paie 1626$ par an).

J'utilise mes points uniquement a Disneyworld et Disneyland (dans les resort DVC) car pour les autres hôtels Disney ou Cruise line tu dois dépenser beaucoup plus de points par nuit et tu as des frais de réservation en plus.

Il y a 10 ans je trouvait beaucoup plus de disponibilité en réservant 2 mois a l'avance. Maintenant, il faut compter 4, 5 ou 6 mois selon les périodes. Le programme est très populaire aux States.

Difficile de te donner mon expérience en qqs lignes, ajoute moi sur Facebook et on en discutera (Xavier Mosby).

Aulani Resort Will Plan to Begin a Phased Reopening on November 1

Aloha!

Over the past several months we have enjoyed sharing some Aulani Resort magic with you at home. We shared peaceful scenes from the resort to help you find your Zen, an inside look at Aulani Resort, Cast Member performances of hula at home and celebrated national Lū‘au Month. Through it all, we have looked forward to welcoming families back to our vacation paradise when the time was right, and today we’d like to share our plans with you.

Given Hawaii’s recent announcement of a pre-arrival testing program for those traveling from out-of-state, we are working toward a phased reopening of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa beginning on Sunday, November 1. And just like our other Disney destinations that have re-opened, we are using a measured approach that focuses on the health and safety of our guests, cast and community.

Our gradual, phased approach to reopening considers the guidance of local and national government and health authorities, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as the U.S. Travel Association and Disney’s team of health and safety experts. This deliberate approach allows us to evaluate and adjust along the way, as circumstances and the recommendations of health authorities evolve.

Because each of us shares a responsibility for the health of our community, we will be making resources available to help make guests aware of our new policies, so they, too, can do their part.

We look forward to helping you make new memories with your family, friends and loved ones at Aulani Resort in the near future. Please continue to visit Aulani.com for updates.

Aloha!

This week, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa began welcoming guests once again to our vacation paradise in beautiful Ko Olina, Hawai’i. As guests begin floating along the Waikolohoe Valley lazy river we are reminiscing about how Aulani Resort became a magical destination.

In honor of the resort’s reopening, check out the video below where Jeanette Lomboy, Creative Executive for Aulani Resort for Walt Disney Imagineering and Shelby Jiggetts-Tivony, Vice President of Creative and Advanced Development for Disney Parks and Entertainment takes us back to the creation of a resort that combines the wonder of Disney with the beauty of Hawai’i in one legendary vacation destination.

You will hear first-hand details about how they worked closely with the community to learn about Hawaii’s rich cultural heritage and incorporated elements important to the Hawaiian people including ‘ohana (family), storytelling and magic into the planning. They describe the legend of the Menehune, secrets to discover at the resort, the role of Aunty and Uncle and much more that you will discover at Aulani Resort.

Il est désormais possible de rencontrer 'Olu Mel à Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa. L'ami de Duffy, the Disney Bear rejoint ainsi Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck et Stitch dans les installations du resort hawaïen.

Meet Music-loving ‘Olu Mel at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa

Aloha, friends!  

Today I have some exciting news to share with you. Now you can meet ‘Olu Mel, A Disney Friend of Duffy, at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, playing endearing and uplifting music on his ‘ukulele. While he is known to be a bit shy, he is happiest enjoying nature and making others smile with his music, which is exactly what brought him to Aulani Resort.

Mel is short for “melody,” and ‘Olu Mel got this nickname from Duffy and ShellieMay after they heard his beautiful singing. He finds inspiration for his songs in the rhythm of nature, including the gentle trade winds of Hawai‘i, rolling sounds of waves and the patter of tropical rain on leaves. When he plays, he puts his whole heart into the song, knowing his friends will feel the love in every note.  

You can meet ‘Olu Mel as well as other favorite Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Stitch on your next trip to Aulani Resort.  

Please join all of us at Aulani Resort in extending a warm, “E komo mai,” welcome, to this kindhearted turtle!

If you’d like to celebrate the excitement of ‘Olu Mel’s arrival be on the lookout for ‘Olu Mel merchandise including ‘Olu Mel and Duffy and Friends in a special Tori Richard aloha print that is only available at Aulani Resort. Select products featuring ‘Olu Mel are also available on  shopDisney.com.

Aulani Resort combines the wonder of Disney with the beauty of Hawai‘i in one legendary vacation destination, offering something for everyone. For more on Aulani Resort including the vast pools and recreation, dining options and promotions, visit DisneyAulani.com.
