Not disruptive? We were there last year as well, and found it monumentally disruptive! Impossible to read a book on the beach because of the loud banging of the construction and constant beeping of construction vehicles backing up. Then when the stage was assembled, still impossible to read a book because of the constant, thunderous rehearsing you could hear anywhere on or near the beach, all day long. A huge section of the beach was closed off so far fewer casabellas available to rent as well.
The entire, multi tiered seating area in front of Ama Ama, which we love because it’s relaxing and a little more peaceful than the pool, was closed for the interviews. During the time AI was there, Aulani was less a beautiful beach resort and more of a circus. If you’re enamored with watching a tv production, then great! But if you’re not, your stay at Aulani will be negatively affected.
