Can you think of a better Mother’s Day than basking in the sun at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa? I can’t.
As a Disney-obsessed mom, staying at the gorgeous resort located outside of Honolulu is at the top of my bucket list. While I won’t have the pleasure of visiting the coveted Disney destination just yet—for the moms who are heading there this month, you’re in luck.

Throughout May, the Hawaiian oasis is celebrating makuahine (moms!) all month long with an incredible spa package at the award-winning Laniwai Spa, an exquisite breakfast-in-bed and other memorable experiences. Even though Aulani is already a paradise, these special offerings are sure to be the cherry on top of an unforgettable island vacation.
Escape with pampering: Laniwai has more than 150 luxurious treatments that will melt away all worries. Can you say, “hakuna matata?”

Rise and shine with breakfast in bed: Nothing jumpstarts a day in paradise like breakfast in bed. Treat your tastebuds to a delectable breakfast without leaving your room with a special Hawaiian-style French Toast. Stuffed with chocolate and strawberries, this breakfast staple with a twist is topped with a delicious fruit compote and of course, whipped cream. The Aulani chefs whipped up this special recipe just for moms—so don’t snooze on this!
Capture magical memories: No Disney vacation is complete without precious photos to last a lifetime. As a special offer in May, guests can receive 15 percent off Family Portrait sessions. Bring the magic home with timeless frame-worthy shots. In addition, during the arts and crafts at the Pau Hana Room, children can create fun frames and other keepsakes that mom will forever cherish. Now that’s something to smile about.
Get active with your ‘ohana: Connecting with family is always time well spent. Every Sunday in May in the Pau Hana Room, moms and kids can make leis while learning about the rich culture and art of Hula. The resort is also offering moms a 10 percent discount on snorkeling sessions in Aulani’s beautiful, private Rainbow Reef.
As a Disney Social Media Moms Celebration attendee, I’ve learned a lot about Aulani. Whether you’re a mom or not, the tropical paradise provides that unmatched Disney magic that everyone can enjoy!

Thanks so much for this post. While I’m not going to Aulani for Mother’s Day, I love Hawaii but never thought of visiting a Disney resort. Maybe I should consider!
I wish I could visit too! I’ve heard so many wonderful things. One day I’m going to make it happen!
Amazing! I felt swept away to Disney’s Hawaiian oasis retreat just reading this fun, informative (and well-written!) blog post. Thanks for sharing all the restorative (and dreamy) amenities offered at Aulani in a way that read like a refreshing Hawaiian island breeze. I’ve been to Hawaii before, but next time I go, Aulani is a must-experience first-stop on my family’s escape to paradise. Mahalo, Brown Girl Gumbo, for inspiring me to take the plunge — and embrace this one-of-a-kind Disney adventure with my husband and kids!
Thanks for your in-depth comment! Although I’ve never been, I do highly recommend it! How can you go wrong? Hawaii + Disney = Dream Vacation!
Sounds like a dream Mother’s Day. This is definitely making me consider booking a trip there! Hawaii + Disney combo sounds like a vacation done right. Thanks for sharing!
