‘AMA‘AMA

I know the menu changes, and I don't remember what all went into the dishes, but the food, and view, at 'AMA 'AMA are amazing. Make sure you make time, and reservations, to eat here. It's so worth the splurge. To make dining reservations, click here:

Fun with 626

Stitch was very happy to take a picture with, um, Little Stitch. Big Stitch posed with me as well.

Hidden Mickeys Hawaiian Style

Hey, I'm not the only one who looks for Hidden Mickeys. They do it on purpose. Even Stitch found some!




Roy's Ko Olina


I've been to several Roy's Hawaiian Fusion restaurants, so I was pumped when I found out there is a Roy's within walking distance of Aulani. As usual, the food didn't disappoint!

Whip It Good!

I was so jazzed to find out that they have Dole Whip at Disney's Aulani Resort. Then my dreams were dashed when I found out the Dole Whip machines were broken during our stay. But as luck would have it, the Dole Plantation is only a 30-minute drive from the Resort. I was able to score my Whip and then some!




 Look at all those Jelly Belly Beans!

Hey! It's Hei Hei!

The last time I was in Hawaii was in the 1970's with my family. So I wanted to go back to places where I went with my parents and sister. One of those placed would be Diamond Head State Monument. Who knew I would even find some Disney influence there? (Yes, I find it everywhere.)


Separated at birth?



Character Breakfast at Makahiki

Anyone who knows me, knows I love food. The other thing I love are Disney characters. So you know I'm like a kid at Christmas when the two are combined. The first morning of my trip, I scheduled a Character Breakfast. My mascot, Stitch, joined me as well.


The breakfast was similar to other Disney breakfasts, but they also had local favorites. I was determined to eat as much fresh pineapple as I could. When I saw what they did to the bananas and Goldfish crackers, I thought, "Why haven't I thought of that?"




So, now the embarrassing part...for me. See that lovely Mimosa?
 

Well, I saw that Minnie and Pluto were making their way over to my table for pictures. I got so excited to hug Minnie, I knocked over my Mimosa and broke the Champagne flute on the floor. You would think I'm three, not fifty three. Minnie giggled, and a nice Cast Member came over quickly to clean up my mess.
