Traveling To Disney’s Aulani in Hawaii: AMA AMA Reopens!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2024
- Come with us as we travel back to Oahu Hawaii to stay at Disney's Aulani resort and spa, but before we get there we make a few stops along the way, including trying the best Manapuas on the island and an Aulani hack you're not going to want to miss. And AMA AMA, the resorts signature restaurant has recently reopened, so we are going to try it for the first time ever. It has a new $125 four course fine dining menu -- is it worth that price tag or is it too gourmet for us?

Our family will never forget running into you at Target 😂 thank you for being so kind & willing to take a photo with us! It was a great way for us to kick off our first visit to Aulani! Mahalo 🤙🏽
Kitra, Mom was definitely there enjoying the beautiful view and seeing her daughter on her adventure! 💜 A great start to your 300K Hawaiian celebration!👍
😭 thank you
Aw, I’m so sorry about missing your mom Kitra. Losing family members is really hard. Those moments like you had at dinner are so special because with these people gone, these are some of the only ways we have left to feel them and feel connected to them. I’m glad you were able to feel touched by your mom on your trip. Thanks for sharing :)
❤️
So sorry about the passing of your Mom, Kitra. Broke my heart to see you crying. I absolutely love Hawaii. Been there 4 times. I dream about staying at Aulani. So beautiful.
❤️
“Somewhere over the rainbow” is such a beautiful favorite song to have and so very meaningful & special to hear it in that moment💙🌈
❤️
Kitra, may your mothers memory be a blessing. Hawaii is the perfect place to remember those we have lost and be thankful for the time we had with them
❤️
I love as a 40 yo man i can watch your vids and it brings me back to that excitement of being a kid and being so stoked to experience trips like ya'll take. Been binge watching all your stuff for dang near 3 days now. Lol. Thanks😁😄😂
😁 thanks so much Travis
I grew up on Oahu. Zippy's is a major local restaurant chain frequented by locals. They are best known for their chili and plate lunches. You may also want to visit L&L Hawaiian BBQ. Their chicken katsu and macaroni salad is pretty good.
Both my Grandmothers passed away in 1999 and there are still times when a memory catches me just right and I lose it. *hugs*
❤️
Welcome back to Hawaii. You both were so respectful and really tried to embrace our unique culture. You tried all the foods and gave positive feedback. I loved your videos. I hope you have another great adventure. ❤️
I cried with you Kitra, she is with you always 🤍
❤️
Wishing we could jump right into this video with you guys!! CHEERS to 300K and many, many more Ks in the future!!! 😄
Thanks so much
I think your room has the perfect view because you can see both the ocean and the pool and grounds!
💯 I agree
So much love to you Kitra on your Mom's anniversary. I know I am very late to this video and I hope posting doesn't cause any distress but wanted to send v sincere sympathy and kindness and appreciation for including us in your journey xx
Thank you
I managed to convince my husband to go to Aulani for my birthday next year! I’m catching up on watching all your Aulani vids to prepare!! Whenever we plan a trip, I always check to see if guys already made a vid for it! Thanks for all the great tips!
Yay have so much fun!
My dad passed away 4 years ago around this time and I feel for you! They are always in our heart and your mom is there with you! ❤
❤️
How has it been 2 years already? Wow, time flies. Since your last trip this has been on my bucket list. 🥰
I know it seems like just a year ago. time flies!
Going to Aulani in three days for our honeymoon! You guys have helped us plan our dream trip❤️
Have fun! You’ll love it
Your Mom will always be with you. Sending you both hugs and much love from Illinois.
Thanks Dorenia
I lived in Honolulu for 2.5 years. It changed my life for the better. It was amazing but I certainly missed theme parks and concerts lol
My husband and I love to watch you guys have a lot of fun keeping doing your thing we enjoy watching y’all 😁
Thanks so much
I have been watching you guys for years. All of your content is So awesome, genuine and entertaining
Thanks so much Michelle ☺️
@@OrdinaryAdventures I visit my bro near Orlando once or twice a year and always go to Uni, especially for HHN. Hope to meet you guys one time! Take care!
Can’t wait for you guys to partake in the chilli water and hopefully we will see the Peter fish again 😉💕😂
😂 not again
OMG, that charcuterie board made me jump out of my seat! lol
👍
Yes, Honolulu Kitchen! Haven't been in years, but definitely a great local spot. Impressed with Peter finding it! I've never tried the sweet deep fried manapua, only the savory ones, but now I gotta try those next time I'm on Oahu.
I did a lot of research 😂
Here's a hug for you Kitra. 🤗 I know how you feel missing your mom as mine has also passed. My mom loved hummingbirds and it's amazing how many I've seen everywhere since her passing. ❤
❤️ thanks
We visited Aulani at the end of 2021 because of your videos. After this series we might have to go back 😅 Congrats on 300k, happy bday Peter, and sending lots of love to Kitra! ❤
Thanks so much. Hope your trip was magical
Oh, Kitra….💓💓💓 Now, I’m crying with you. Your mama was definitely sending you a sign. 💐
😭 thanks
God bless your heart sorry for your lost. Hawaii is always your home. Beautiful memories
Thanks
One day I will make it to Hawaii and hunt those Menehune down for photos
Thank you
OMG. I remember watching your Hawaii episodes during lockdown. It was so relaxing and heartwarming to see, almost felt like an escape during lockdown.
32:00 ~ Kitra gave 5/5 Peters LoL. You guys are so cute!
😂
Yes Kitra! Mom was there. What a beautiful gift to receive. =)
❤️
Kitra is so cute! We’re goingoing back back to Oahu Oahu! 😂😂😂
🥰
Ama Ama looks amazing! I went a few times prior to the update and it looks much more amazing.
When my husband and I were there in 2021 we stopped by makihiki for breakfast during our stay. We sat in the patio and after we got our drinks we were just talking and enjoying the atmosphere. Suddenly there was a child screaming, then a lady. The cast members quickly gathered, then the manager. Tables were quickly moved but the child kept crying. Turns out the kid and lady witnessed a mongoose attacking, killing, and attempting to get away with a pigeon 😂
Hahaha
Omg I used to work for United Airlines for almost 17yrs and have been to Oahu 5 times. It was always so relaxing for me. I so enjoyed your video. Thanks for the reminder of Hawaii ❣️
Kitra I am so sorry about your mom's anniversary passing 🙏❣️
Thanks
Kitra you aren’t the only one who lost it sweetheart! We played that version of Somewhere over The Rainbow at my moms funeral and I instantly started to cry. You aren’t alone!
Congrats on 300k 🎉 perfect way to celebrate! Great view at the fancy place! How amazing they played your Moms song, a total sign for sure! I lost my Mom over 8 years ago and always love little signs like that! Hugs! ❤
37:44 "This has Woodfire Reserve" guess that first cocktail was a strong one, eh Peter? 😉
Yes
You guys are adorable! Been a fan for a while, and I hope to find love like yours eventually.
❤️ thank you
I can just imagine the guy who runs the bun store going back telling his family all his food got a 5 out of 5 😂
Haha
These travel videos of yours are fun to watch I have watched a lot yesterday and look forward to watching more Manapuas look so delicious & yummy hope to try them . you two have one of the best travel videos like this I seen on RUclips so far I have been enjoying a marathon / bringe watching on your videos today love them
Thanks so much
That silhouette shot tho!!! 😍
😁
@@OrdinaryAdventures I love y’all, goals asf!!!!
So jelly!
It’s the best
I am so happy you two got to go back to Hawaii. I am sure your mom would be soooo happy for you too. Thanks for sharing another not so ordinary adventure. ❤
"It's because there's cheese! Holy Cow!" 😄 20:30
😂
Wow, I admire you, Kitra, for trying the octopus. (When I heard, “It tastes like chicken…” I almost did a spit take😂) I think it's because of how it was prepared that you gave it such a high rating, but normally octopus is plain and extremely chewy, and i NEVER eat it at gatherings because I know it's expensive and there are family members who love it and can appreciate eating it. Thanks for bringing us along to your fancy dinner!
My eyes teared up when you walked onto the balcony showing the view of the Waikolohe Valley and the ocean. I miss Hawai’i and Aulani so much!! 🥹
I am definitely adding Honolulu Kitchen onto my list of eats for O’ahu! Those are ‘ono looking manapua! 😋
And mahalo for the dinner review of ‘Ama’Ama! The menu has definitely been upgraded, and I hope it’s still that way when we can make it to Aulani again! The he’e with risotto, venison tartare, pork belly, and desserts look absolutely delish! 🤤
The octopus was so good!
Love the vlog guys 🙌 Aulani is in the bucket list. Thanks for sharing x
Definitely try to get there one day
that song coming on was just your moms way of saying im here with you to celebrate, and im sorry Kitra because its a hard thing. your trip looks like its starting off wonderful and i hope its an amazing time for you guys. thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure, i pray to make it there in next few years.. i want to go so badly.💮🌻🌺🐚🏝 Happy Birthday Peter 🎂
😭
@@OrdinaryAdventures please dont cry.. its a peaceful thing to know..sending much love
So beautiful that your moms favorite song started playing. Glad you guys have had a great trip. Resort looks amazing.
❤️
Grats on 300k. Love you guys
Thanks
I dunno why it surprises me Kitra would know Biggie.
Congratulations on 300k dudes.
Haha thanks
Omg im only half way through your video but man this place looks amazing! I didn’t even realize there’s Disney resort’s or hotels in hawaii! ❤ ty for taking us on your special vacation. Happy belated birthday Peter & so much love goes out to Kitra! And congratulations for 300k subscribers woo wow! Your view is stunning & all those extra treats & upgrades! How sweet. The food looks so good. The meme faces with those drinks, I love the new edits 😂 the lil guy walking around was so cute. He’s like a ferret but squirrel like: the mongoose! Can’t wait to see the next vlog also that drone camera is pretty cool Peter!
❤️❤️
I love the Tarantino style shot from the boot of the car. I half expected Peter to say “We should have brought shotguns” 😜
So pleased you got to go back and thanks for sharing your experience! Congratulations on 300k! 🥳
😂 thanks
Sending love for your memories of your mother. Than you both for this video. Aulani is my wish list that seems most out of reach. I love your videos
Thanks Brian. I know you’ll make it to Aulani someday
Those manapuas look amazing!!! We miss Hawaii and will definitely be making a stop at Honolulu Kitchen on our next trip. Thanks for always bringing us along on your adventures!
Yes they and so many good ones
So glad my family and I got the chance to meet you guys! ❤️ happy late birthday Peter
Thank you Chloe
Hugs to you Kitra!! Those anniversary dates are always hard. I lost my mom when I was 23 and that was several years ago. I'm so happy you guys are at Aulani. The song was def a sign from her saying she's so happy for you and proud of your amazing life!! 🥰❤️ And was the Chris like the wonderful and kind Chris Provost?!
Wasn’t provost but we love him!
You two are the cutest couple ever. I woke up very early watched your video and had a cup of coffee. Thank you for giving me an amazing start to my day. Have a wonderful vacation.
😁 thank you
30:06..Kitra, I lost my Mom eight years ago on Thanksgiving 2014 and What a Wonderful World was Her favorite song too…I got to sing this one last time for her as we said goodbye and hearing your story made me feel a little closer to her again…thank you…I spent a lot of this video feeling very wistful because, even though it’s been almost six months since we’ve been there, it all came flooding back, and the silliest things (like the Mickey lamp!) brought tears to my eyes, I miss the place so much!❤
❤️ thanks Ed
Congratulations to 300,000 subscribers!! You guys deserve it, can't wait to sit back, relax and enjoy the video.
Thanks Emily
Had to laugh when you said Ko Olina was the most beautiful place. Ko Olina was a barren kiawe waste land when I was a kid. Basically all where simba wouldn’t be allowed to play.😂
Well it’s nice now haha
@@OrdinaryAdventures yes it is. I’m a DVC owner there now.🤙🏼
There is a whole history of how the mongoose ended up on the islands. Just thank them for the reason there are no snakes! :)
🙌 🙏
This entire video blew my mind! Sooo beautiful! Thankyou!!!😇😇
Thanks so much.
Sending you both so much love, but especially you Kitra. Feel all the feels ♥ I'm just glad that your Mom knew about (and loved) this channel, and that she knows you get to continue to go on these adventures and share it with your community. Now she continues to follow your adventures as you carry her with you in your heart.
Hope you guys got to try Spam Musubi! Didn’t try them when we were there in May (We’ll be back briefly in 2024 at the beginning and the end of a bucket list adventure to New Zealand and Australia…with an 18 night Transpacific cruise bringing us back to Honolulu!)…however, we were actually able to try them at an L&L Hawaiian BBQ in San Diego and they’re Fantastic!
We do try a spam Musubi later in the trip. The video is coming eventually
Congrats on 300k. Nice video. What a nice place. Happy Birthday All the best. Cheers!! You should get the Hawaiian shirt with Santa riding the dolphin. Thanks and take care guys.
Thanks so much Karen
So glad y’all made it back to Hawaii and Aulani! That place is amazing. We were there a year ago this week celebrating our anniversary and we miss it every day. Can’t wait to see this series of videos. Hugs to you Kitra after the one year since losing your mom.. my mom passed last year as well and sometimes it just does hit you.. I’m glad to see you were happy and enjoying yourself.. I’m sure your mom was right there with you😊
I'm currently up to your original Hawaii trip and once again it looks absolutely breathtaking. It's on my bucket list to get here one day. I LOVE tired airport Kitra. I'm exactly the same in trying not to eat before flying. Big hugs to you both with the sad 1 year anniversary xxx
❤️❤️❤️
This resort looks so beautiful 😍 * edited*
Aww Kitra loosing loved ones is always so hard.. I lost my Grandma roughly 3 years ago and the song Remember Me always makes me think of her. Her favorite song however was the hymn Far Beyond The Sun. So sometimes sunny days make me think of her too.
❤️
I had the same response when I saw my first mongoose in Hawaii… “what is that!!” 😂
Haha
Love your Aulani videos! Came across your channel early 2021 when I was planning my family’s vacation to Oahu. So happy I did! So many great tips and booked our stay at Aulani. My daughters favorite pro tip was Leonards malasadas! I will enjoy these videos and dream of the day my family and I get to go back ❤❤
🙌 we miss it already
Congrats on the increased subs, well deserved! I watched your last Oahu series before my family went to Aulani in early 2021. Even with some closures and masking, it was the best time. Thanks to your pro tips, we tried Leonard’s and a couple of other places that we would not have known about. Favorite trip ever!
That is awesome! Glad to hear we helped!
The memes when you was trying the drinks was perfection.
Haha
Hi Peter and Kitra. I'm a new Patreon subscriber. Wow, loved this video! Aulani looks so amazing and my wife and I hope to go there someday. A big congratulations on 300K subscribers. All the best to you both. Your videos are so fun and inspirational and I look forward to them each week.
Thanh’s so much Dave!
love you guys! happy birthday Peter!
Thank you
So excited for you two!! What an amazing trip. And the blinking gif at 26:30 made me lol. Great editing, Kitra! 😂
Haha thanks
Yes! Congrats on the subs 🎉 I’m glad I get to be a part of all these adventures! You guys are amazing. I really hope to meet you guys one day ❤
I really hope we get to experience this resort! I've spent 3 weeks in Oahu, but not Aulani. So happy you get to celebrate your subs and honor the memory of your mom. (That venison looks way too adventurous for us!)
Hope you do too
🎉🎉 Happiest of Birthdays to you Peter!! 🎉🎉 What an AMAZING way to celebrate another year, in beautiful Hawaii! Looking forward to following your Aulani/Oahu vlogs. The AMA AMA dinner looked scrumptious! ❤ Arlene
Thank you!
So awesome that you were able to return to Hawaii 🌴this is definitely in my plans for next summer lol… Congrats on 300k! 🥳 both of you are awesome people and very well deserve it! Oh and btw Happy bday Peter ! 🎉 Can’t wait for the rest of your Hawaii vlogs 🌴
Thanks so much! Next video should be early this next week!
Aulani is magical we loved every moment🌴 thankyou guys for taking us back and a huge congratulations on your equally amazing channel 🌴 Ordinary Adventures Extraordinary People💙💙💙The Watt Family🌴🌴🌴
Thanks Jade!
@@OrdinaryAdventures Enjoy the Aloha magic!!!
So excited for this series! Congrats on 300,000, you'll be to 400,000 before you know it!
🙌
Kitra! I’m gonna need you to do a retake with some chili pepper water 🤣 much love and welcome back!
😂 we didn’t run into any this trip
I first found you guys watching your Oahu/Aulani blog two years ago!! More blessings and success to you both. Love watching this 🎉!
Welcome back to Hawaii! I love watching your videos, because I hardly go Oahu & get to see all the yummy places to eat there! 😋 Have to say, Oahu has Big Island beat on grinds (food). I hope you guys got to try musubi, & definitely encourage you to eat more taro & ube, so good! You guys are so fun to watch! 🤗 Hugs to you both, brought tears to my eyes Kitra, I feel you so much on missing your mom. I lost my mom 12 years ago, still visit places, smell certain smells, see things that bring her immediately to mind & it's like she was just there with me. I hope it's their way of saying they're still here with us in some way.
Thanks! We do end up trying some of those things later in the trip.
Happy to see you folks back in Hawaii
🏝️
I love all your videos, thank you for sharing with us! I lost my dad 2 years ago and constantly get signs from him. Your mom was there with you in Hawaii ❤ Sending lots of hugs your way.
OMG I am so excited!! I’ve watched your first trip series multiple times over the last 2 years so I am pumped for this trip series!! ❤
Thanks so much!
OMG!!! That's my hula teacher and her fiancé playing the uke!!! Kailua moon
Very cool
We ate at Ama Ama mid October and thought it was great. The food quality, and service was excellent. The wine pairing price was reasonable and the server explained each wine. That ube old fashion was a definite five stars. As far as the price, it is not cheap but for the resort area it is equivalent to the Four Seasons prices next door. We had dinner at Mina’s Fish House next door and spent about the same amount but was less impressive than Ama Ama. We really enjoyed this video and your willingness to try things outside your comfort zone. Thank you.
👍 wish I was as excited about all the food
I messaged you on Instagram this same thing but I have to repeat it here. I may have found you through Galaxy's Edge, but your past Aulani trip is what made me a subscriber and ordinary adventurer! Looking forward to more Hawaiian content! Congrats on the 300,000 Subs! 🎉
❤️ thank you Caitlyn
Congratulations on 300k and Happy Birthday Peter! Thanks for always sharing your adventures! ❤ Plus extra hugs Kitra 🤗
Thank you
Congratulations on 300k! Your channel is growing because you two are so awesome together. The video quality and editing is A++.
🙌 thank you
So excited for your trip series! I could smell the Hawaiian air as soon as you stepped outside the airport!
🏝️
I first subscribed to your channel when I found your vlogs about your first Aulani trip. We just came back from our second trip with our family and put your previous pro-tips to use and had a great trip. Would have loved to have run into you both. We went to AMA AMA and took our 6 year old granddaughter-highlight of the night was her licking her bowl of tomato soup. 100% agree with your thoughts, the staff, service, and setting were outstanding but not sure the end result justifies the price. The food was delicious, but pretty bougie and TBH I was still hungry when we left. Thanks for all your videos, love your humor and sincerity.
Thanks, glad you agree! What other cool things did you find in Oahu on your trip?
@@OrdinaryAdventures At the Dole plantation there is a jewelry counter where you can pick an oyster and they harvest the Pearl and then set them to a ring or necklace-one of them had two so it was like a freebie. We visited Pali lookout for amazing views and to learn some history. We went to Haleiwa Joe’s in Kaneohe for an terrific meal (wedge salad and prime rib), it’s an open air restaurant in a beautiful garden setting at the foot of a green mountain (we’re from Indiana so anything bigger than a mound amazes us). A little embarrassed to admit we went to a movie while we were there, but it was for Wakanda Forever so felt it was justified. The Regal theater at Kapolei commons (where you went to Target) was really nice. We also ate at Mina’s Fish House next door at the Four Seasons. It was pricey, too, but the portions were a little more “normal” and we left very satisfied. Also did zip lining at Kualoa Ranch (did the ATV tour last time), and snorkeling with Ocean Joy Cruises. Still feel like there is so much more to do and see on Oahu!
I have my mom's tablet so my name is really Evan love your videos and I love your green glasses Peter and I love Pixel and gizmo and I love your Fun attitude.
Glad you guys are back in Hawaii! You get to show us things that most of us will not be able to see or do so it's much appreciated and congrats on 300k subs! 👏
By the way, macadamia nuts are actually native to Australia not to Hawaii. There was a time there that Hawaii was the highest producer of them but it always changes due to weather conditions. Only a few years ago Australia was the highest producer of them at 46% but because the last few years we've had way too many natural disasters like the 2019 Black Summer bush fires to the floods taking over the last two years (currently many towns in NSW are cleaning up from flash flooding two days ago) we haven't been able to grow as much so South Africa funnily enough is the world's largest macadamia nut producer now. Aus is at about 20% and S Africa at 40%. They grow well in subtropical climates.
Macadamia nuts were introduced to Hawaii in the 1880's for the bush to protect sugarcane as a windbreak! And when they were first found here in Australia in 1828 by English settlers, macadamias were originally called the 'Bauple Nut' after the town of Bauple in Queensland by the founder. They were then renamed as macadamia after a German-Australian botanist named them as such after his friend John Macadam, who was a noted scientist and was secretary of the Philosophical Institute of Australia in 1858.
And before the English naming of them they have over a dozen different names in the Indigenous Australian community and have always been a popular 'bush tucker' or bush food source.
Good to know
Loved your other Hawaii videos, can’t wait to see all of the new ones! Also congrats on 300,000🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🙏
