Disney vacations are NOT just to theme parks. While Disney operates several theme parks around the world, they also have many vacation destinations that are not theme parks but are still just as fun (and perhaps even more of a vacation)!

There are Disney cruises to multiple destinations and Disney owns a few resorts that are not located near theme parks. One of those resorts is located in Ko Olina, Hawaii. Aulani is a beautiful resort right on the beach. It offers a wide variety of entertainment and relaxation. There are shows, characters, pool activities, beach activities, a spa, and so much more to make your vacation one of your favorites without having to step foot in a theme park. And now, one guest favorite amenity at Aulani will be changing soon!

There are multiple pool and spa locations around Aulani. Many are included with your stay, while a couple may be added on for an additional price. However, one pool, the Wailana Pool, will soon be changing!

Wailana Pool is located off the beaten path and offers a space of tranquility and relaxation. It has a beautiful waterfall that empties into the pool and lots of tropical shade trees. For a while now, this pool has been available to the whole family, but starting on August 5th, it will become an adults-only pool once again.

Guests and Disney Vacation Club Members 18 and older may enjoy this pool and the cabanas located near it, while kids and families are welcomed to the several other pool areas located around the resort. Wailana Pool is also located right by the Wailana Pool Bar where guests can enjoy refreshments while they lounge by the pool.

Other pool experiences around Aulani include Keiki Cove Splash Zone, Menehune Bridge, Waikolohe Pool and Stream, Ka Maka Grotto, and Rainbow Reef (additional cost). There is so much to do and see at Aulani, but if you’re planning on visiting soon, it’s important to note this change! This new rule will provide adults a space for serenity, peace, and relaxation. But worry not, families will still have LOTS to do and see.
