Beyond the Kingdom: Exploring Disney's Unconventional Vacation Options
The greater Orlando area is the most visited place in the United States, and many of those visitors are headed to Walt Disney World. While the Magic Kingdom is a must-see for some, there's more to Disney than just theme parks. Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa on Oahu, offers a beachfront experience with pristine white sand beaches, scenic pools, and a lazy river.
The resort's Laniwai Spa is the first spa created by Disney, offering traditional Hawaiian massages and other treatments. Guests can also explore the Kula Wai Hydrotherapy Garden, a garden retreat where spa-goers can relax during their scheduled treatment. The background music at Aulani may include ukulele strumming of familiar Disney songs.
The Menehune Adventure Trail offers guided walks for kids to search for these fascinating creatures from Hawaiian folklore. Families can also enjoy a fun character breakfast with Mickey, Goofy, and other classic characters in Hawaiian-inspired attire.
