'Olu Mel Merchandise At Disney's Polynesian Resort

'Olu Mel is the kindhearted 'ukulele-playing sea turtle mascot of Disney's Aulani Resort in Ko Olina, Hawaii. He's been exclusive to Aulani since his debut in 2018, but the spirit of Aloha he brings to fans simply can't be contained because you can currently find the little guys taking a vacay at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. I noticed this sign in the Great Ceremonial House last week and had to check out 'Olu Mel for myself.

Disney's unique concept of a time share and the things that it would offer its owners shook up the industry when it first debuted and has been providing world class service ever since. My husband and I bought our membership in 2008 and while we wouldn't really call it a financial "investment," it is by far the best investment in our family that we've ever made.

Saturday Style: Inspired By Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

The moment I saw this dress I knew I had to share because it's pretty, breezy style instantly transported me. Inspired by the new lobby at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort it's tropical feel and traditional design are a classic. The coral palms print against the ocean blues help to create the perfect frock for a date night dinner at 'Ohana. Style it simply with a pair of cute leather wedge sandals, and a Disney Dooney Sketch Leather Crossbody Bag.

Should Disney Continue with Stand Alone Hotels?

It was announced last month that The Walt Disney Company has canceled plans to build a 500 room National Harbor resort in Washington, D.C. Disney purchased the 15 acres in May of 2009 for $11 million.

Looking to build a stand-alone Disney branded hotel, they pulled out with Disney spokeswoman Kristin Nolt Wingard stating, "Given the full slate of expansion currently underway at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, the timing isn't right to proceed with another new project of this scale."
