Aloha! As a local resident, I've only walked through 'Aulani, hoping one day, I'll find the funds to stay on property. Since I live in Hawaii, it makes more sense for me to travel and invest in a trip to the Disneyland Resort instead. I'm glad you both not only had a chance to return to this special resort post Covid, but the motive to also share your magical island experience to viewers like myself so we could be there with you in some way. Thank you for your care, honesty and, kindness while vlogging and during your stay in my home state. I hope to bump into both of you on my trip to CA this summer. Mahalo and a hui hou.
I live in Hawaii for 4 1/2 years and went to plenty of Luaus. This one was very nice.. I actually got a little teary eyed as well. The Hawaiian people are proud of their history and culture and I loved to see this show. Thank you for sharing it with us.
@@OrdinaryAdventures The one at the Polynesian cultural center.. you got to see all the different Polynesian cultures version of dance. The Tahiti dancers were great!
Kitra and Peter are so magical and amazing! They can be in Hawaii one day, then Universal Studios Hollywood the next… and then back to Hawaii. I love it.
Lol being poly and seeing the Polynesian humor never fails! Loved the cast members interactions with you two during the activity hour, what an awesome experience to learn about the culture.
My mom and I have always loved watching you guys. Her favorite series has always been Aulani. This is because she said it seems so peaceful and she has always wanted to go there.
That’s awesome to hear. We first heard about them from our friends mouse vibes and took it with us to the parks for our Walt Disney world trip in October and loved it. So it was cool to get an email from them looking to sponsor a video!
So amazing, I discovered you back in 2021 when we were heading to our first Aulani trip and now heading to our second trip your videos are still my favorite.
So I just booked this twice in May. For me and the wife to do this twice, it cost 733 dollars. Very expensive but after seeing this video and this is probably gonna be the only time we go to Hawaii, it'll be worth it. Thank you to the both of you!!
I had a room overlooking the Luau in May so we watched it about 3 times. But I have to say, the experience at the Polynesian Cultural Center was better. The Luau was really nice. Food was great. Entertainment was great. The only thing no alcohol. But the drink served in the pineapple was soooooo good. Then there is an evening show after the Luau that is crazy good. Shows all the Polynesian cultures and the fire show is so good. And did I mention the whole experience at the cultural center was cheaper than Disneys luau. But thanks Peter and Kitra for you vlogs.
I like that they based the luau around Ko Olina and Ewa, specifically. That's cool. Other than our one night at Aulani away from the larger family, we stayed at a house on Ewa beach and it was incredible. That whole area of the island gets such nice weather. It's not as lush as the other side, but it worked for us. Looks like a great luau!!!
We had a room on the Seventh floor that directly overlooked the Luau and we got to see different parts of it twice! Quite entertaining , although we more enjoyed the one at Polynesian cultural center (which was a bit cheaper…plus, it also came with the Theatrical show “Breath of Life” afterwards)
Thank you so much for sharing this. I know a lot of work goes into filming and editing videos. This is a trip I will never be able to go do but through this video I get to feel like in a small way I am there with you guys. You both totally Rock! Not ''the rock'' even if you have the same tattoo. lol
You guys inspired our trip to Hawaii last year and it was the most amazing time. We specifically went to the North Shore for food hopping and stayed at Aulani to get the whole Ordinary Adventures experience ❤🌺This makes me want to go back immediately 😭
Can't wait to see the verdict! We got complimentary tickets to the Old Lahaina Luau on Maui recently and I was shocked at the ticket price, we couldn't have afforded it if my brother-in-law didn't work for the company.
Thank you for this adventure. I would be just as excited to meet you as that worker. It did seem expensive but worth the price for the experience. 😍😍😍😍😍
You guys are making me want to go back so badly! We did take our little girls with us to see the luau last time. They were only 4 and a half and nearly 2 at the time. I'm pretty sure they both fell asleep! I remember my arm going numb holding the younger one. Now they are 5 and almost 8, and honestly, if we make it back within the next few years, I may just see if the kids club stays open late enough for us to drop them off during the luau! I think they'd get bored and squirmy at this age.
@OrdinaryAdventures ah boo, we were hoping to secretly be in the background of one of your videos! Love the channel, you guys and Tim Tracker inspired us to start, all be it terribly, vlogging!
We're going in June and your videos have been so helpful 💖 I had no idea it was going to cost over $700 for my family to go. I was thinking it would be about $80 per person like the Disney World Polynesian resort luau. I think we'll still go since it's a once in a lifetime experience, you looked like you had a lot of fun
At first I thought "Hmmm, this isn't as good as the water park one" but after a bit it clicked with me and it was quintessentially Disney (though I would have preferred more character appearances!!)! Great video. I laughed at "It fell apart. I love you!"
Thank you so much for making this vlog. We were planning on taking a 4yr old and 3yr old to the Luau. But with your comment on seeing little kids bored and not a character luau. I think we will have the kids skip it. So thank you for pointing that out it’s not really for littles.
yeah, i think they would appreciate it more when they’re older bc it definitely focuses more on the appreciation of native hawaiian culture and not the disney aspect (which is a good thing imo)
Another great video! 🤩 my first food was poi! It’s for sure a love or hate thing. I’m half Hawaiian and I don’t like it. Maybe it’s because I ate too much of it as a kid 🤷♀️ Kitra’s description of it was exactly what I think every time i eat it. It definitely tastes like somethings gone bad. 🤣
We did this two years ago before the buffet was open due to C19. Pretty much the same show and at that time I would have said probably not worth it but now with everything back to running normal I would say that if you haven't done it, it is worth doing at least once. for us it was a one and done and I would love to experience other luaus on the island when we go back in September this year.
Will there be a Peter and Kitra Ukulele tour soon? Can play the hits of Ordinary Adventure Hawaiian style, Gizmo and Pixel songs, Number 14, Peter Fish (It’s basically Spider Pig sang to Peter Fish).
Different brands of poi can taste different. Most luau its watery and plain. Some people like myself like to add sugar. And my favorite brand is Hanalei Poi or try the poi from waiahole Poi Factory.
It was interesting hearing the Hawaiian story of Maui compared to the Maori Story's of him, A lot of correlations. In Maori myth Maui used his hook made from the jaw bone of his grandmother Muriranga-whenua and pulled the north island of Aotearoa from the sea. In the Hawaiian version it seems he used it to pull the big island up.

Thanks so much. I’ve heard Aulani sometimes offers fantastic rates for locals? But I’m sure it’s still expensive

Which is your favorite luau?
@@OrdinaryAdventures The one at the Polynesian cultural center.. you got to see all the different Polynesian cultures version of dance. The Tahiti dancers were great!
Kitra and Peter are so magical and amazing! They can be in Hawaii one day, then Universal Studios Hollywood the next… and then back to Hawaii. I love it.
Haha the magic of editing
@@OrdinaryAdventures You are becoming a wonderful editor, Kitra. As a visual artist, I love and appreciate the way you and Peter create your videos.
Thanks so much 😁
Lol being poly and seeing the Polynesian humor never fails! Loved the cast members interactions with you two during the activity hour, what an awesome experience to learn about the culture.
The cast members were all awesome
My mom and I have always loved watching you guys. Her favorite series has always been Aulani. This is because she said it seems so peaceful and she has always wanted to go there.
Thanks so much ❤️ I hope she gets to go someday
It's so awesome of you guys to take the Liquid IV sponsor. They've helped my grandpa so much!!!
That’s awesome to hear. We first heard about them from our friends mouse vibes and took it with us to the parks for our Walt Disney world trip in October and loved it. So it was cool to get an email from them looking to sponsor a video!
We definitely enjoyed this vlog! It looked like a lot of fun!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks 🙏
Yay new vid!!! It’s been a tough work week. I’m gonna chill, watch this, and have a frosty beverage.
🙌
So amazing, I discovered you back in 2021 when we were heading to our first Aulani trip and now heading to our second trip your videos are still my favorite.
😁 thanks so much and have an amazing trip!
I need to learn my lesson and stop watching y’all’s videos hungry!! Love you guys!! 🧡
Omg the food was so good at the luau 🤤
So I just booked this twice in May. For me and the wife to do this twice, it cost 733 dollars. Very expensive but after seeing this video and this is probably gonna be the only time we go to Hawaii, it'll be worth it. Thank you to the both of you!!
Hope you enjoy and have a fun time
@Ordinary Adventures we'll do our best!! Lol keep up the great video's!! You two make our day!!

Thanks Pamela! We’ve heard that evening show at the PCC is amazing but their luau is just okay.
I like that they based the luau around Ko Olina and Ewa, specifically. That's cool. Other than our one night at Aulani away from the larger family, we stayed at a house on Ewa beach and it was incredible. That whole area of the island gets such nice weather.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I know a lot of work goes into filming and editing videos. This is a trip I will never be able to go do but through this video I get to feel like in a small way I am there with you guys. You both totally Rock! Not ''the rock'' even if you have the same tattoo. lol
You are so welcome!
That was an artfully balanced plate, Kitra! Looks delish!!
😂 thanks
I just joined your channel!!! Omg you guys are amazing! I can’t wait to plan my very first trip to Hawaii!!
Welcome!!
16:59 Oh, my. 🤩 Thank you, Kitra! That was an impressive show. It sounds like it was a fantastic evening. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks La Luna ☺️
Haha I was so scared to see you impaled by that lei needle! The anxiety! 😱🫣 so excited for another Aulani video!
Haha
i love that people wear light up ears to the luau
Ha of course it’s Disney
@@OrdinaryAdventures Does Disney sell them there, in the gift shops?
Nice video. Thanks for a great time, lots of fun. Very nice show and the food looked delicious. Great info.
Thanks for watching Karen
I love their Luau’s with Disney touch! ❤
🙌
Thanks for posting this. It encouraged me to sign up, and glad I did since it is booked out through late August already.
Wow
Excellent review and so glad they kept it traditional without much Disney involved, definitely booking this on my vacation
Aulani in general very authentic to Hawaii and respects the culture
You guys are great, the Ka wa'a (the canoe) attempts and the ukulele playing had me hysterical. I wish I could have been your Hawai'i guide ;)
😂 thanks
You guys inspired our trip to Hawaii last year and it was the most amazing time. We specifically went to the North Shore for food hopping and stayed at Aulani to get the whole Ordinary Adventures experience ❤🌺This makes me want to go back immediately 😭
Yay! Sounds like an amazing time
Beautiful Luau. I loved it. I am so happy to experience this through your channel. I hope to experience it when my husband and I go back Aulani.
Thanks for watching
Loved this one! I hope you had a great evening!
Thanks Jamie
Looks like a great time! Your videos are making me want to book a trip to Hawaii!
🙌
WOOHOOOO MY DAY JUST GOT BETTER🎉🎉🎉
😁
Can't wait to see the verdict! We got complimentary tickets to the Old Lahaina Luau on Maui recently and I was shocked at the ticket price, we couldn't have afforded it if my brother-in-law didn't work for the company.
👍
My 8 year old looooved the luau! Its so good!!!
Oh good to hear. I was skeptical that it would keep the attention of young children
You guys always put such care into your videos and we are all thankful for your hard work! This all looked so fun and beautiful and delicious! 🌺
Thanks. An experience like this is harder to capture on video than when you’re there too
Such an amazing show! Thanks for sharing this experience!
Thanks for watching
my favorite reality show❤️
Haha
Yes I was needing this ❤️❤️
😁
Thank you for this adventure. I would be just as excited to meet you as that worker. It did seem expensive but worth the price for the experience.
😍😍😍😍😍
Definitely worth doing once
You guys are making me want to go back so badly! We did take our little girls with us to see the luau last time. They were only 4 and a half and nearly 2 at the time. I'm pretty sure they both fell asleep! I remember my arm going numb holding the younger one.

I think they'd get bored and squirmy at this age.
Ha lots of little little kids were being carried out asleep during it
YEAH I MISSED YOU GUYS!! You make my day so much better!!
Thank you !!!❤❤❤
Thanks Lisa
That show is amazing
❤️
Thank you so much for this detailed video! With buffet style food, are you allowed to go for another plateful?
Yes you can!
@@OrdinaryAdventures Thank you so much for replying! xx
I love the tattoo Kitra! You should totally make that permanent!😉🥰
Ha thanks 🙏
Love the ukulele playing!
Thanks
We loved the luau at Aulani…especially all the music.
We were there when you got served at the tables and I really liked that😁
Ha I prefer a buffet because I get to pick how much of what I want
Aloha Guys! We will be vlogging at Disneyland parks on Christmas and Christmas eve. Will you guys be there or on another OA?
I don’t think so because our magic key passes are blocked out
@OrdinaryAdventures ah boo, we were hoping to secretly be in the background of one of your videos! Love the channel, you guys and Tim Tracker inspired us to start, all be it terribly, vlogging!
This video is making me hungry! And Hawaiian macaroni salad is so good.
So good
We're going in June and your videos have been so helpful 💖 I had no idea it was going to cost over $700 for my family to go. I was thinking it would be about $80 per person like the Disney World Polynesian resort luau. I think we'll still go since it's a once in a lifetime experience, you looked like you had a lot of fun
You also have to book far in advance so if you’re planning to go book a few months ahead.
At first I thought "Hmmm, this isn't as good as the water park one" but after a bit it clicked with me and it was quintessentially Disney (though I would have preferred more character appearances!!)! Great video. I laughed at "It fell apart. I love you!"
I agree I wish it (respectfully) had more Disney somehow
@@OrdinaryAdventures Yeah, as you said they could have slipped Moana or Stitch in there somewhere.
Thank you so much for making this vlog. We were planning on taking a 4yr old and 3yr old to the Luau. But with your comment on seeing little kids bored and not a character luau. I think we will have the kids skip it. So thank you for pointing that out it’s not really for littles.
The kids seemed to like the activities before and the food but yeah I saw quite a few carried out because they fell asleep during
yeah, i think they would appreciate it more when they’re older bc it definitely focuses more on the appreciation of native hawaiian culture and not the disney aspect (which is a good thing imo)
Hi! When did you go on your luau at Aulani? So it’s back to buffet for adults post covid? But bento for keikis?
We went in December 2022
Another great video! 🤩 my first food was poi! It’s for sure a love or hate thing. I’m half Hawaiian and I don’t like it. Maybe it’s because I ate too much of it as a kid 🤷♀️ Kitra’s description of it was exactly what I think every time i eat it. It definitely tastes like somethings gone bad. 🤣
Haha
Cute 🥰 ☺ claw clip kitra.
Thanks
@@OrdinaryAdventures np 😉 kitra.
Looking forward to your "Next Adventure" 😃
👍
That was a awesome video guys thank you for sharing it with us love y’all stay safe out there 👏🏼🙌👍🏼🙏🏼🌹💙❤️😍🥳🥰😎
Thanks for watching
Your Aulani videos have convinced me I have to go!
🤗
Next time, if you can't handle the poi by itself, its a local thing here in Hawaii to mix the lomi salmon with the poi. Game changer.
Will have to try that next time
We did this two years ago before the buffet was open due to C19. Pretty much the same show and at that time I would have said probably not worth it but now with everything back to running normal I would say that if you haven't done it, it is worth doing at least once. for us it was a one and done and I would love to experience other luaus on the island when we go back in September this year.
I can agree with that
"So now basically me and the Rock are the same person." 😂
😂
Can't wait to go back to Hawaii! Love your vlogs! Thank you! 💜💜💜👋😍
I want to go back too
Wow, im so jealous of the food. I went to the paradise Cove luau and it did not have that much food variety! 😮
I’ve heard the entertainment is good there tho?
I’ll bet the resort offers Hula lessons. I think Kitra would enjoy them.
They probably do!
Man I always want to go their great tour video😁😇
Thanks
@@OrdinaryAdventures Your welcome😁😇
Looked amazing
🙌
Looked amazing 🤩 ❤
👍
Love your videos
Thanks Nick
I could NEVER eat Poi by itself.😝 Combined with other foods like pork with salsa it's pretty good!:😋
👍
I can't tell the difference between the rock and peter now.
Haha 😆
Looks wonderful. Wish those few people with light up ears would’ve been considerate and turned them off and removed them.
It was fine, not too distracting
Is the buffet all you can eat or do you only get to go through the line one time?
All you can eat
Do i have to stay at the hotel to experience this or i can just pay and ho see it?
I’m not sure if you can see it without staying there. I’d say look at the Aulani website
I really enjoy your videos
Really helps me stay… unstressed
Awww thanks
love ur food reviews. i give this video 5 peters
🙌 thanks
I love poi with sugar!! Next time u come back gotta go try some poi donuts or poi mochi.
A bunch of people have shared the sugar hack!
do you have to book ahead at time or can you book and pay over there?
I think both but it sells out quick so I’d book ahead
My dad always said you haven't had the true Hawaiian experience until you've been kicked off a beach by a violent gang of surfers.
😂
Thats the plot of Point Break
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA LOVE THIS🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
One of the only places were Disney employees do you have exposed tattoos you gotta love it
Disney cast members are now allowed to have exposed tattoos. That changed a year or more ago
Amazing Luau❤
It’s okay Kitra, I’m a born and raised Hawaiian and I still don’t care for poi unless it’s in a donut!
Haha
Was there no option for private seating? Did any of the luaus you went to have private seating? You mentioned chiefs?
I don’t think so
Chiefs did when we went but that was only due to the pandemic, I think it’s back to normal now
When will peters Ukulele cd be coming out? 😄🌺🌴
😂
I think I liked the one you guys went to during the last trip over this one. Idk it just seems like this was a shorter show that cost twice as much.
👍
You can do a luau if it’s outside . The meat looks good .
👍
I went to aulani during covid I loved it bc it wasn’t packed…
I was worried it was going to be too packed this trip as there was little room availability but it wasn’t bad at all.
For a second there I thought I was listening to Peter Frampton.
Ha
Will there be a Peter and Kitra Ukulele tour soon? Can play the hits of Ordinary Adventure Hawaiian style, Gizmo and Pixel songs, Number 14, Peter Fish (It’s basically Spider Pig sang to Peter Fish).
Haha no time soon
Can you only go to the buffet once? Is that why your plates were so full?
No, it’s unlimited. I only put that much on there because I was showing it for the video and didn’t realize I had put so much
I like the Pineapple Liquid IV. I get it at Costco.
So good! Use our promo link and I think it might even be a bigger discount?
@@OrdinaryAdventures Thank you so much 🥰
Different brands of poi can taste different. Most luau its watery and plain. Some people like myself like to add sugar. And my favorite brand is Hanalei Poi or try the poi from waiahole Poi Factory.
I’ve heard that about sugar. I gotta try that next time
Kitra! Great video, as usual, however....ALL those hunky Hawaiian Dancing Guys and not one buttcheck?! Sigh.... maybe next time...
😂 I usually only but check cute creatures
Oh fine, be logical and consistent. Sheesh! Merry Christmas anyway!
Is this open for people not staying at aulani?
Yes!
You’re an awesome 😎 RUclips channel.
Thanks Luke
@@OrdinaryAdventures np 😉 Petermand Kitra.
I put sugar in my poi and it’s good!
Hmmm gotta try that
I was supposed to go to Hawaii and to that hotel back in 2021 but Covid ruined my family trip there
Hopefully you get to go sometime in the future
@@OrdinaryAdventures yeah hopefully next summer I will get to go to Hawaii
It was interesting hearing the Hawaiian story of Maui compared to the Maori Story's of him, A lot of correlations. In Maori myth Maui used his hook made from the jaw bone of his grandmother Muriranga-whenua and pulled the north island of Aotearoa from the sea. In the Hawaiian version it seems he used it to pull the big island up.
Interesting
Liquid IV is good for Hangovers
Haven’t tried that 😂

I’m not sure it would be much different than a normal one

Did you hear about the Mauna Loa volcano erupting?
Yeah crazy
