- Take a picture with Hawaiian Goofy. We had just barely checked in and were about to head over to Aunty’s Beach House when we ran into Goofy at just the right time. No line waiting for us!
2: Check out Aunty’s Beach House. Get your kids registered and get their Magic Bands that will allow you to easily check them in and out and keeps track of where they are in the club. The club and it’s supervised activities are for children ages 3-12 years of age. Tip: At the busy travel times of the year, the club and some of their optional free classes (hula dancing) can at times reach capacity quickly. So make sure to sign up for the classes early in the morning.
3: This one is for all you moms (ok, some of you dads too). Visit Laniwai, the amazing spa! I don’t have many pictures due to privacy reasons but also I don’t want to give it all away but there are many ways to pamper yourself in there. Try out the cold and hot tubs in the outdoor Hydrotherapy Garden. The Painted Sky Teen Spa is next door for guests ages 13-17.
4: Dance in a parade with Minnie and Aunty at the Makahiki Character Buffet Breakfast.
5: Play in the sand with a bag of beach toys you can check out for free (including Boogie Boards)! Just gather and return them when you are done using them.
Getting a Mickey Ear Shave Ice and saying hello to Pluto
6: Get a pineapple, haupia (coconut), and liliko’i (passionfruit) flavored shave ice….and eat said shave ice in the kind-of-hidden-hot-tub-we-practically-had-all-to-ourselves. Shhhh…Pluto, don’t tell anyone!
7: Drop the kids off at Aunty’s Beach House and enjoy a date night at ‘Ama ‘Ama so you can eat some mini fish tacos in PEACE!
8: Say “Hi” to my friend, Mickey Mouse! Photo-op included with your Makahiki Character Breakfast (printed photos available to purchase).
9: Swim in the numerous pools, rent snorkels for a fee at the Rainbow Reef (man made coral reef with lots of fish located inside the resort pool area) or rent a Stand Up Paddle Board to use in the lagoon.
