Please Note:
Aulani offers all of the standard room amenities you would expect from a world-class hotel. The real magic of our Resort rooms and suites is in the details:
• Disney Imagineers have partnered with local Hawaiian artisans to create a series of earth-tone print fabrics inspired by native kapa cloth, long revered for its subtle intricacy and elegantly embossed patterns.
• Search for hidden Mickeys within the pineapple-patterned Hawaiian quilts!
• When you turn on the living room floor lamp, a silhouette of Minnie Mouse can be seen, gamely surfing a wave within the conical inverted shade.
• Much of the furnishings pay homage to a variety of ancient Hawaiian artifacts from fish hooks to outrigger canoe sails to kapa "beaters," an essential tool used to create the highly prized kapa cloth.
• Outrigger canoe posts and beams work their way into the design of bedroom headboards.
• Butterfly joints incorporated into the headboards evoke the ancient Hawaiians' method for artfully repairing their prized wood calabash bowls.
• A clever wall mirror is framed in what appears to be oversized, interlocking, carved wooden fishhooks.
• Retro Hawaiian floral print fabrics, locally known as "bark cloth," add a vibrant accent to pillows.
• Corridor carpets are influenced by Hawaiian makaloa mats, famous for their fine, tightly woven surfaces accented by boldly geometric zigzags, triangles and squares.
• Corridor wall-coverings are artfully embedded with a whole host of native Hawaiian cultural references from poi pounders to fish traps to sea urchins.
• Hidden Mickeys are cleverly camouflaged within the wall coverings' richly patterned surfaces.

With this in mind, if you visit between mid-September, 2012 and mid-2013, you may notice some work in progress as the Resort is expanded. Rest assured, you can still anticipate a fun-filled vacation at Aulani during this period.
Explore all the updates planned at Aulani:
Waikolohe Valley Pool Area Waikolohe Valley will soon delight Guests with more water features and dining options.
During the pool area expansion, much of Waikolohe Valley will remain open, including Waikolohe Pool, the lazy river, slides, whirlpool spas, Rainbow Reef and Menehune Bridge. However, Makai Preserve will close permanently this fall; Wailana Pool (the quiet pool) and Wailana Bar will close for an extended period.
Starlit Hui To accommodate more Guests, Starlit Hui will move to a larger venue. Be aware that Starlit Hui will close for approximately one month as it transitions to its new location.
Rooms and Villas Aulani will soon offer more accommodations for Guests. Upon completion in mid-2013, Aulani will feature additional rooms and Villas in 2 towers.
Makahiki The Bounty of the Islands To provide shaded outdoor seating and accommodate additional Guests in inclement weather, an overhead trellis with retractable awnings will be added to the outdoor dining area at Makahiki.
While enhancements are underway at Makahiki, restaurant operations will continue with interior seating only. As a result, the Disney Character Breakfast Aunty's Breakfast Celebration at the Makahiki will be extended to 6 days a week! This experience will be available Tuesday through Sunday, and Resort Guests will enjoy priority for advance reservations.
Exterior Decorative Beams Finishing touches are being put on the building exteriors including work on the decorative beam joints. While this work is in progress, you may notice some scaffolding and covered walkways at Aulani.
Please note: You may hear and/or see the work taking place during your visit. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please know that we are making every effort to ensure your comfort and enjoyment while Aulani undergoes expansion.
