My brother, who lives in Honolulu, came over to Aulani for a visit and tour yesterday. It was cool to hang with him, and show him around the resort. He came over and saw some of the construction progress for me, but hasn't been over here since it opened. We enjoyed lunch together at 'Ama 'Ama, and then, even though he was embarrassed, I made sure we got our picture with the Goof! He said repeatedly he was "too old for that kind of thing", but I didn't care, because I'm NOT too old, and neither is he. (We haven't had a picture taken together with a character since we were around 9 & 12 respectively! Being the "pesky younger brother", it was cool to embarrass him once again like I did many years ago!)
Other characters are here, but I didn't get the opportunity to interact with them. Mainly Chip & Dale, Donald Duck (I did see him, just from a distance), and I'm told Lilo makes appearances as well. No princesses or other characters - but that's okay, since they wouldn't really fit in within the environment of Aulani anyway.
Love it! ~ Julie
