 Aulani
is relaxed yet regal with detailed touches of Disney magic. The
white sandy beach, tropical gardens, turquoise lagoons and sparkling
waterfalls are just a few highlights of this balmy paradise. Inside
the Resort, lava rock rises up through the floor of the grand lobby
as dual pools of water cross the expanse: one gently flows with
lilies while the other rushes wildly through. This Hawaiian
philosophy of balance - bright and shadowy, brisk and slow, delicate
and coarse - resonates deeply throughout the resort. It reflects not
only the nature of the islands, but the spirit of its people.
Add to this the exhilarating enchantment of Disney through its
family entertainment and recreation, and you'll find a world of fun
at your fingertips!

Transportation
The primary forms of transportation used in O'ahu are:
- Rentals: Cars, mopeds and
motorcycles are all available to rent if you wish to
explore O'ahu on your own. If you want to have a
rental car during your stay, it's best to reserve a
car in advance at the Honolulu International
Airport.
- Taxi: Taxis are a great way to
get around town. Taxi stands are located at most
malls, in the business district or at the airport.
You can also call to have a taxi pick you up.
- The Bus: Known as TheBus, this
public transportation option offers extensive routes
and destinations, with special visitor passes for
multiple day use. The nearest bus stop is 1 mile
from Aulani.
- Trolley: While its coverage is
not as extensive as the Bus, the trolley does go to
the most popular tourist destinations and offers
special tickets with unlimited rides over a number
of days.
Weather Averages
With clear skies and warm temperatures, Hawai'i boasts some of the
best weather in the world. Keep in mind, however, that weather
conditions can vary depending on which side of the island you are
visiting and at what altitude, with temperatures dropping the higher
up you travel into the mountains.
Time Zone
The Hawai'i-Aleutian Standard Time (HST) is 5 hours behind Eastern
Standard Time (EST) and 2 hours behind Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Hawai'i does not recognize daylight savings time. Therefore, during
those months add an extra hour to EST and PST times.
