Though not flanked by a Haunted Mansion, Aulani is still unmistakably “Disney.” Among other things, that means the Imagineers who worked on the resort put care into every design choice made. It also means guests can take tours to learn more about those decisions!

Top 7 Crowded Park Strategies at Disney World: Raise your hand if you like a crowded park! Anyone? No one? I didn’t think so. I am assuming most of us are not fans of places being super crowded.

So, I figured I needed to correct this and make him watch…
