We love MonkeyPod. And HH works out great for us East Coasters as its about usual time to eat dinner anyway
Keep on having fun Granny!!

Granny it looks like you have the perfect vantage point for the Starlite Hui. And you'll have a chair to sit in.
When we were there, you grabbed a mat on your way in and sat on the ground - not the most comfortable for us old folks
Have a spectacular day in paradise!

And for the rest of us Groupies - enjoy your week-end!

Next thing - visit the Dole Plantation and have a Dole Whip sitting on the veranda! (Take an Almond Croissant with you).

And finally, the elusive and delicious almond croissant!

I'm sure the almond croissants are great. But if you really want to experience true Hawaiian cuisine, you have to try a spam musubi! Its a taste treat sensation that you won't find at Walt Disney World.

When we were last at Aulani the resort had its own take on the spam musubi. The Ulu Cafe was offering Mickey Spam Musubis for breakfast and lunch.

Just an FYI, they do not have the Starlit Hui anymore. Instead they have KA WA'A, a luau that you have to pay to go too. I think they have tables and chairs too. https://www.disneyaulani.com/activities/luau/

Too Bad. It was an exciting fast paced experience!

Wil...I’m sure the spam is tasty. I might have had too much of it earlier in my life but I may give this a whirl just for cultural exploration sake. I’m willing to try almost anything at least once. Thank you for the tip.

Denise...you are correct on both accounts. No sign of Starlite Hui, and there are definitely long picnic style tables and seats for everyone to share. You can see them in my room view photo.

Thank you @Nicoal13 and @MiaSRN62 for the birthday wishes. It was a very nice day!

Standing in the luau area, here’s our room circled in red.



And here’s our table view at AmaAma last night.

Thank you Corinne. I’m loving those birthday graphics that you used.

Thank you Corinne. I’m loving those birthday graphics that you used.

I usually get the pic in the body of the post Granny, not sure what I did wrong. At any rate I trust you had a great birthday in paradise!!!

Happy Saturday Groupies! I’ve just completed 3 weeks at my new company, and so far it has been great. Very nice and welcoming group of people, and I’m learning. A lot of new systems. Not sure if I previously mentioned this, but I work at the same company as my sister, so that’s been really fun, (and a little) crazy as well.

I am also eagerly looking forward to our F & G trip in 3 weeks!

Two more sleeps! Eeeekkkkk!!! So much to do before the fun! Will be doing the AKV Moonlight magic event on Tuesday, maybe a midnight MK closing on Wednesday then up around 3am both Fri and Sat for the Darkside races. Maybe 3am Sunday too if I cheer on my niece running the half marathon. My body is going to be very confused over when to sleep and when to wake up!

I added one day to the front end and will be at CCV for the first night then over to AKV so it's a lodgy sort of trip. Lodgy is a wordy, yes?!

Lodgy is a wordy, yes?!

In this neck of the woods it is!!

Worst April snowstorm I can recall. Worst snowstorm of this winter! Over 12” so far, and more coming down. Businesses shut down all over the city, churches even cancelling Sunday services. It is really bad. Wish I were in Hawaii (or back in Florida)


Went to deliver pizzas, and they shut it down when I got there — 50 orders deep and only two of us with 4WD, a couple others got stuck so, game over at 5PM.
