Disney's Aulani - Dance Tour
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, HI
Walt Disney Imagineers worked hand in hand with local artisans and cultural experts to bring Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa to life. Inspired by the natural beauty, legends, and living traditions of Hawai‘i, Aulani is more than a resort—it is an immersive family escape where every detail reflects the spirit of the islands. From its oceanfront setting along the Ko Olina coastline to its thoughtfully designed architecture, storytelling artwork, and cultural programming, Aulani blends Disney creativity with authentic Hawaiian heritage to create an experience that feels both magical and meaningful.
Guests are invited to slow down and truly connect with the island through experiences that highlight Hawaiian music, storytelling, crafts, and traditions. Families can enjoy relaxing lagoon beaches, expansive pool areas, character experiences unique to Aulani, and evening entertainment that celebrates the culture and history of Hawai‘i. Whether it’s meeting beloved Disney characters in tropical attire, drifting along the Waikolohe Stream, or participating in hands-on cultural activities, every moment at Aulani is designed to create lasting memories for guests of all ages.
A highlight for dance studios traveling with 42nd Street Tours is the opportunity to take part in an exclusive dance workshop led by professional dancers and industry-trained choreographers. Designed to inspire and challenge performers of all levels, this workshop gives students the chance to train in a unique, high-energy setting while learning choreography that blends performance technique, artistry, and storytelling. In addition to the workshop experience, dancers will also have the unforgettable opportunity to perform in a professional setting—showcasing their talent at the iconic Ala Moana Center and on stage at the historic Royal Hawaiian Center Stage. These performances allow students to share their passion with real audiences in the heart of Waikīkī, creating a once-in-a-lifetime performance experience that builds confidence, camaraderie, and lasting memories.
At 42nd Street Tours, we understand why dance studios and performance groups consistently choose us over other travel planners when organizing a Hawai‘i tour centered around destinations like Aulani. Planning a group trip to an island resort can quickly become complex—especially when coordinating flights, rooming arrangements, activities, and varying family preferences. Our role is to remove that stress entirely by organizing the details in a way that is clear, structured, and easy to manage for studio owners, directors, and families alike.
We specialize in making group travel feel seamless. From the moment your studio begins planning, we provide step-by-step guidance that helps families understand their options without feeling overwhelmed. Room-level payment flexibility allows each family to customize their experience while still traveling together as one unified group. This means parents can select the excursions, upgrades, and experiences that best fit their budget and interests, while the studio maintains one coordinated, organized itinerary.
With so many incredible attractions and excursions available on O‘ahu, you don’t need to be the travel expert—we are here to guide the way. In addition to the magic of Aulani itself, travelers can explore world-famous sites like Pearl Harbor, the North Shore, Diamond Head, and traditional Hawaiian luaus, along with snorkeling tours, catamaran cruises, and cultural experiences throughout the island. 42nd Street Tours helps your group navigate these options, offering expert recommendations, timing strategies, and insider knowledge that ensures families maximize both their time and investment.
We also assist with booking additional activities and provide ongoing support leading up to departure and throughout the trip. Our experience working with dance studios means we understand rehearsal schedules, performance logistics, and the importance of balancing structured events with free time for relaxation and bonding. Every itinerary is built with intention, ensuring your dancers and their families have space to connect, celebrate, and enjoy the journey together.
At the heart of it all, our mission is simple: to transform a complex planning process into a smooth, exciting, and memorable experience. A trip to Aulani is more than a vacation—it’s an opportunity for your studio to grow closer, celebrate achievements, and create memories that last long after the final bow.
