If you're looking to experience Disneyland or Walt Disney World with zero stress and maximize on the FUN - a Private VIP Tour Experience may just be your answer!

What's Included in a Disney VIP Tour?
✨Expedited Access to Your Favourite Attractions - Skip the long lines and enter through Lightning Lanes (or sometimes even ride exits when Lightning Lanes aren't applicable!).
✨Personal VIP Tour Guide - Spend your day with a Disney Expert (in that iconic plaid vest, or course!), who will es**rt you through the parks, sharing insider stories, fun facts, Disney trivia and more, all tailored to your group's interests!
✨Hassle Free Planning - We work closely with the VIP concierge team on your behalf to ensure no stone is left unturned! Together we'll ensure your family is set for your day of fun - from ticket purchases, dining reservations, ride & show priorities and more!
✨Custom Itinerary - Your VIP Tour Guide will create a custom itinerary based around your priorities - whether that's hitting up every thrill ride the Parks have to offer, character meet-and-greets with your favourite friends, or seeing the best shows! Your day will be designed custom for you, but the schedule is always flexible!
✨Reserved Viewing for Fireworks/Shows - Request prime spots for fireworks! Watch the magic from a reserved viewing space so there's no need to camp out in advance for a great spot!
✨Surprise Perks - You truly never know what's in store for you! From special treats to unexpected experiences - spontaneous magical moments may be right around the corner! While never guaranteed - as Mary Poppins would say, "Anything can happen if you let it."
✨Unlimited Photopass Downloads & Free Parking - download all your PhotoPass photographer pics and Attractions photos from your day! Brought a car with you? You'll also enjoy free parking, too!

Here's Who We Typically Recommend Them For:

✨ Families with Young Kids - it's great for parents who love the convenience of skipping standby lines, having a flexible schedule, and having an expert help to navigate the parks! Want to ride a thrill ride that your kids aren't interested in? Your Tour Guide can push the stroller while you enjoy the fun!

✨Once In a Lifetime Visits - While I truly believe that once you've experienced all that Disney has to offer you'll be sure to want to return - a VIP Tour is great for those who feel this may be their only visit. It's a great way to experience as much as possible without the overwhelm - you can hit all the highlights with zero guesswork.

✨Theme Park Superfans - Those who REALLY love Disney will love the ability to maximize rare experiences like riding every major attraction in a single day or learning those hidden gems and park secrets! There's nothing quite like getting those insider stories from an expert!

✨Luxury Vacationers - If you're looking to maximize your time with added comforts in the theme parks, opting for a VIP Tour will give you just that! Have someone else navigate your day, so all you need to worry about is creating core memories with your family!

🏝️At Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, in Ko Olina, Hawaii - expect nothing less than the perfect blend of Hawaiian culture, relaxation and family fun -all with a magical Disney touch! With so many FREE experiences and activities included in your stay (see yesterday's post for more on that) - you can really cater your vacation for every member of the family!

🌴In addition to ALL the inclusions - Aulani also offers a variety of Add-on Experiences (additional fees required) for those seeking even more magic!🪄

🌟Here's our TOP 5 Add-On Experiences at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa:

🍴Dine at a Character Breakfast
Have breakfast at Makahiki with your favourite Disney characters! Enjoy a 3-course breakfast featuring fresh, local ingredients - and DO NOT miss the malasadas! Prior to your meal you'll get to take a few pictures with the characters, and they'll also come visit you at your table. Listen and sing along with Aunty or Uncle as they strum their ukulele and sing traditional songs.
✔️Pro-Tip: Dining reservations can be made 30 days in advance - and they go fast! When you book with Glow With Me Adventures, we'll snag that reservation while you sleep in!

🤿Snorkel at Rainbow Reef
Aulani is home to Rainbow Reef - it's very own saltwater lagoon full of native species of tropical fish! It offers a safe, high-visibility environment where you can snorkel without worry! If snorkeling isn't your thing, you can view the beautiful marine life through a viewing window or take part in fish feedings, too!
✔️Pro-Tip: Think you'll want to snorkel more than once? Purchase a length-of-stay access pass (it's great value) at the beginning of your stay and enjoy the Reef daily! Seeking a more unique experience? Try a Supplied-Air Snorkel, offered twice a week for those 8+.

🌴Experience the KA WA'A Lu'au
Disney takes its storytelling to a whole new level with this 3-hour experience that takes you on a journey through Hawaii's cultural history and traditions of canoe (wa'a) exploration. While you may see a character or two along the way, it's the Polynesian traditions of storytelling, music, dance and food that really steal the show!
✔️Pro-Tip: Don't miss the pre-show demonstrations - try your hand at flower arranging (making leis or bracelets), taro pounding and ukulele, and choose a Hawaiian traditional tattoo (temporary, of course)!

💆Escape at Laniwai Spa
Nothing says vacation like a restful, restorative visit to the spa! Soothe and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit at Aulani's full service spa. Don't miss the Signature Lomilomi traditional Hawaiian massage that uses techniques passed down from generation to generation by healers.
✔️Pro-Tip: Arrive early for your spa service and enjoy Kula Wai - Oahu's only outdoor hydrotherapy garden. A true sanctuary complete with 6 unique rain showers, a reflexology walk, hot and cold plunges, thermal whirlpools and more!

✨‘Imi Loa Nāa Hōkū (Explore the Stars) Stargazing
This premium stargazing experience gives you a unique glimpse into the history of early Polynesian navigation. A local expert and NASA Ambassador shares how ancient Polynesian voyagers traveled great distances across the Pacific Ocean using the stars. You'll get to do your own stargazing, both with the naked eye and through a powerful telescope - and take captured images of the night's sky home as a souvenir!

✨🌴For most, when we think of Disney vacations, the first thing that comes to mind are the theme parks! But did you know - Disney offers a world-class resort for Disney fans and tropical vacation seekers alike on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii? 🌴✨

🏝️Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina, Hawaii is where Disney magic meets island paradise! It offers the perfect blend of Disney quality service and storytelling with the rich culture and history of the Polynesian Islands. There really is something for everyone here - making Aulani the ultimate destination for your next family vacation!

🌞Aulani is SO rich in things to see and do that this is only Part 1 of 2! Here's our Top 5 FREE Must Do's at Aulani:

🐭Say Aloha to your Favourite Characters
Mickey and his friends LOVE to vacation at Aulani - so you never know who you might see! You'll often find your favourite characters wandering the grounds in search of fun or dancing away at the Shake a Shaka Pool Party. Hawaii is home to Stitch and Moana - who drop in often to greet guests! If you're lucky, you may also encounter unique characters like Angel, Shellie May, Olu Mel and Duffy during your stay!
✔️Pro Tip: Use something fun and commemorative to gather character autographs! We love using mini surfboards or ukuleles!

🗿Menehune Adventure Trail Scavenger Hunt
Watch the legend of the Menehunes come to life in this interactive treasure hunt! Using a special tablet that plays videos and displays interactive clues, you'll see your surroundings awaken as you correctly answer clues. This is guaranteed fun for the whole family!

🔥Mo'olelo Fire Pit Storytelling
Uncle truly is a master storyteller, and he gathers nightly to share Hawaiian legends and lore around the fire pit overlooking the lagoon. Storytelling is what Disney does best - and we can assure you this is an activity that CANNOT be missed!

Nothing says family vacation more than special activities the whole family can enjoy together! When in Hawaii...do what the Hawaiians do! Learn the history of the ukulele and some simple chords that will have you strumming along to your favourite songs! Prefer to put pen to paper? Learn how to draw one of Disney's popular characters in step-by-step lessons from a skilled cast member!
