Ka Wa’a, a luau is returning to Aulani on March 27
There’s no better way to end a day in Hawaii than with a luau, and beginning on March 27, 2021, Ka Wa’a, a luau will return to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Ko Olina on the island of Oahu.
After being welcomed to the beautiful Halawai Lawn by the blowing of a conch shell and the Hawaiian oli chant, guests will enjoy live music, traditional dance, and ancient stories of Hawaii told through Disney’s signature entertainment.
Before the show, guests will be able to participate in family activities at their table, including flower arranging and poi pounding, a process through which taro root is ground to create poi – a traditional Hawaiian food.
As part of Aulani’s new health and safety procedures, a buffet dinner has been replaced with a three-course plated meal that highlights island specialties including ahi poke (marinated raw fish) and lomilomi salmon salad; imu-style braised pork cooked in an underground oven, fresh island fish, oven-roasted teriyaki chicken, and local seasonal vegetables; and a dessert trio of macadamia nut brownies, haupia (coconut pudding), and guava cake. Special keiki (kids) bento boxes are also available with kid-friendly favorites like macaroni and cheese, chicken tenders, and even a Moana surprise dessert. Non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages are included in the event price. Click here for a sample menu.
After dinner, guests embark on a journey through Hawaiian history told with music and dance. As the story unfolds, guests will discover Hawaii’s deep cultural roots in canoe (wa‘a) exploration that brought the first voyagers to Ko Olina – and which gives the luau its name.
