Ukusuka kwibalcony yegumbi lethu elikumgangatho we-12 kwindawo entsha yeDisney eAulani Resort & Spa, sinokubona iDiamond Head crater, eyona ndawo idumileyo yaseOahu. Kodwa nje kancinci.
Yayilisuntswana elincinci, elikude-elinye elisebenza njengesikhumbuzo esingaguqukiyo sokuba ngoku sasintywiliselwe kuhlobo olwahluke kakhulu lwefantasy yaseHawaii.
Ukusasazeka ngaphantsi kwethu ibingumbono omangalisayo ongasoze uwufumane phakathi kwesiphithiphithi seWaikiki: Indawo entle, eyi-21 yeehektare ezinomlambo owenziwe ngumntu, intaba-mlilo ephuma ngaphandle kunye nedama lokuqubha elikhulu. Kanye ngaphaya koko, ichweba elizolileyo latsala abo bahamba elwandle, yaye iPasifiki enkulu yabengezela kukukhanya kwelanga.
Ke nantsi into eyenzekayo xa udibanisa umoya weAloha kunye nonikezelo lwesisa lweDisney pixie dust.
Kwiprojekthi yayo yokuqala yehotele / yesabelo-xesha eHawaii - kwaye eyokuqala ayiqhagamshelwanga kwipaki yomxholo - iDisney inqande ukuxinana phakathi kwehlathi eliphakamileyo laseWaikiki. Endaweni yoko, inkampani ifumene indawo yeplamu malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-27 kude, kwindawo ebekwe ngasemva e-Ko Olina, ecaleni kweyona ndawo ingaphuhliswanga yonxweme lwase-Oahu. Ukuhamba kwe-clutch. Ngeendlela ezininzi, i-Aulani ivakalelwa njengendawo yokuphumla yesiqithi esingaphandle.
Sekunjalo, mna nomfazi wam, uDiane, sasingaqinisekanga ngaphambi kokuba singene kwigumbi eliphakamileyo elifulelwe ngengca ehotele. Ukusukela kwi-honeymoon e-Oahu kwiminyaka engama-28 eyadlulayo, siye sahamba izihlandlo ezininzi ukuya kwisiqithi esisithatha ngothando njengekhaya lesibini. Sikwaliqela leengcali zeDisney ezifake imali eninzi kakhulu kwiipaki zemixholo ezakhiwe nguMickey Mouse. Kodwa iDisney + eHawaii? Kwakubonakala ngathi yinto engafanelekanga.
Amava eholide kaDisney, emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ihlala ikukungxamela iswekile, ngelixa iHawaii, kuninzi lwethu, ithetha ukuphumla okuthomalalisayo, okutshiswa lilanga. I-Disney yenziwe ifantasy kunye ne-cotton candy. IHawaii bubuhle bendalo kunye ne-mai-tai eyehla ngokulula.
Andazi ukuba oku kuya kundisebenzela na, ndaxelela uDiane.
Nangona kunjalo, akuzange kuthathe ixesha elide ukuba siqonde ukuba, ubukhulu becala, iyasebenza. Ngokumangalisayo.
Iyenzeka kuba iDisney ibeke umyalelo wothintelo kuyo ngokwayo. Ewe, uMickey, uMinnie kunye nabahlobo babo bakhona ukuze babulise abalandeli kwaye baye kwisidlo sakusasa sabalinganiswa. Kodwa ngenye indlela, izinto zekhathuni zithatha isihlalo esingasemva kwinkcubeko yaseHawaii, imbali kunye nobugcisa. Ekuphela kwendlela yokuchukumisa iDisney kwigumbi lethu eliphangaleleyo yayisisibane seplanga esasibonisa uMickey ngebhodi yokusefa.
Besifuna ngabom ukungangeni phakathi kweendwendwe zethu kunye namava eHawaii, uJoe Rhodes, umyili okhokelayo weprojekthi, wandazisa. Sasingafuni ukuba sisiqithi ngaphakathi kwesiqithi.
Kwaye ke, ukongeza kwiMickeys efihliweyo (isiseko sepaki yomxholo) kwimihlaba, unokuzingela iimenehunes ezininzi ezifihliweyo - izidalwa ezihlekisayo, ezinqabileyo eziphuma kwimbali yaseHawaii. Kwaye ngaphambi kokuba uthathe uvavanyo lwangaphandle lweLilo kunye ne-Stitch, ungonwabela iseshoni yokubalisa amabali eHawaii ejikeleze umgodi osecaleni komlilo. Emva kokuchaphaza kwakho kwi-8,200-square-foot pool complex, unokufunda ukusefa, ukwenza ipoi okanye ukudlala ukulele.
Usapho-friendly
Njengoko kuvela, iDisney yenza iHawaii ngcono kuneendawo ezininzi zokuchithela iiholide e-Oahu. Iingcamango zenkampani zixhomekeke kubaculi bendawo, abaqulunqi kunye neengcali zenkcubeko ngegalelo labo, kwaye intsebenziswano yaba ngumlingo. Ukusuka kwimizobo yayo ekhangayo kunye noyilo, ukuya kumhlaba wayo, uyilo kunye nomculo, zonke iinkcukacha ze-Aulani zibalisa ibali malunga neziqithi kunye nabantu bazo. Ngeli xesha, i-tacky kitsch yasePolynesia yaliwe ngenceba.
Njengoko unokulindela, i-Aulani ibeka iprimiyamu enzima kusapho-okanye i-ohana-nokuba ngamanye amaxesha yenziwa. Ekuqaleni, ndaphakamisa impumlo yam kwi-Rainbow Reef, i-lagoon eyenziwe ngumntu, i-8-foot-deep snorkeling lagoon egcwele ngaphezu kwe-1,000 yeentlanzi kunye neenduli ze-coral. Kutheni uhamba ngokwenziwa xa into yokwenyani inokufumaneka kuso sonke isiqithi? Ndakhalaza.
Kodwa emva kokunikezela ngemaski kunye nokuthatha idiphu, ndiye ndayixabisa iRainbow Reef njengendawo ekhuselekileyo yabantwana kunye nabaqalayo ukuze bakhululeke ngokuntywila emanzini ngaphambi kokungena elwandle. Ikwayintshayelelo entle kakhulu kwiintlobo ngeentlobo zezinto eziphila elwandle eHawaii (Ngaba unokuthi humunukunukuapuaa?).
Eminye imisebenzi yosapho-friendly ibandakanya iMakai Preserve, apho unokuhlangabezana ne-stingrays kunye nesikhokelo seengcali zebhayoloji zaselwandle. Ukuba ayisiyonto yakho leyo, unokubheqa i-kayak kwindawo ezolileyo ephambi kwehotele. Okanye, ungakhwela ityhubhu engaphakathi ecaleni kwendlela ejikelezayo, umlambo onobuvila obuziimitha ezingama-950, nangona siye safumana isantya esinobuvila sendlela yamanzi sisonqena kakhulu.
Okona kwakuvuyisa kakhulu zizilayidi ezibini zaseAulani zamanzi, ezikhawulezayo ukutyhudisa abakhweli abakhaliphileyo bejikeleza iijiko ezimnyama kwaye zijike okomtsalane omanzi weNtaba yeSithuba. Ukuhambisa umntwana wam wangaphakathi, ndandiyonwabela ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Wenjenjalo noJerome Petrin, oneminyaka esi-8 ubudala wasePortland, eOre.
Ndicinga ukufudukela apha, utshilo uJerome, owanyanzelisa ukuba akhethe ukwenza ikhaya lakhe elisisigxina e-Aulani kuneDisneyland.
Uthando olongeziweyo
Ngelixa abantwana bebonakala beyithanda, abacwangcisi be-Aulani bafanelwe ikhredithi ngokuqaphela ukuba abanye bethu bafuna ixesha elincinane labantu abadala eparadesi. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kukho iqula elincinane, elingasese-elinophahla olufulelwe ngengca- elenza ukubaleka kamnandi. Enye yeendawo esizithandayo ibonakalise ukuba yi-whirlpool spa ejongene nokutshona kwelanga okuqaqambileyo okwenzeka rhoqo kwicala lasentshona le-Oahu. Apho, siphethe iziselo ezishushu, sasidla ngokujonga esibhakabhakeni size sibe novelwano kubakhweli kwiijethi eziphumayo.
Ngexesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa, i-'Ama'Ama yenza ubusuku obuhle kakhulu. Indawo yokutyela evulekileyo evulekileyo, ethiywe ngegama lentlanzi ye-mullet yasekhaya, ibonelela ngeembono ezithandekayo zolwandle kunye nokutya kwesiqithi sangoku. Sithengiswe kwindawo esithe sangena kuyo kwi-starter yethu - i-kahuku corn chowder ene-lomilomi salmon. Kwaba oh ke ono (kumnandi).
Kodwa akukho nto yayinokoyisa amava aphantse angokomoya esiwawonwabeleyo eLaniwai, iziko le-spa lehotele elingama-18,000-square-foot-foot, apho sasizitofela kumachibi okuphila elwandle kunye ne-eucalyptus kunye negadi yangaphandle ye-hydrotherapy phambi kokuba sifumane imassage eyasishiya sikwimeko eyonwabileyo. ahh. Iparadesi, ngokwenene.
Akunjalo ukuba iAulani ayinayo imiqobo. Ngamanye amaxesha, mna noDiane sasikrokrela ukuba ububele obungaqhelekanga obabonakaliswa ngabasebenzi basehotele abavuyayo yayilicebo lobudemon elenzelwe ukususa iingqondo zethu kwizipaji zethu ezicutheka ngokukhawuleza. Ngokubhekiselele kukhetho lokutyela kwindawo, zimbalwa kwaye zibiza kakhulu.
Kwaye ngenxa yokuba i-Aulani ikwindawo yokuhlala ekude - enye ihotele ekufutshane kuphela yiMarriott - ungazifumana unqwenela ezinye iintlobo zokuvuselela iimvakalelo. Xa i-claustrophobia iqala, sahamba ngemoto eqashisayo ukuya kuthenga eWaikiki, okanye isidlo sangokuhlwa kuMntla Shore.
Ke kwakhona, ngalo lonke ixesha sasiphuma e-Aulani, sasizifumana singxamele ukubuya - sibuyela kubasebenzi bayo abanobuhlobo, amabala amahle kunye nelo meko yolonwabo ye-ahhh.
