Meet Aulani’s ‘Ohana: Cultural Greeter at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa

Meet Aulani’s ‘Ohana: Cultural Greeter at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa

As guests arrive at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, they are welcomed into the expansive Maka‘ala lobby. Maka‘ala, which translates to “wide awake” or “watchful,” encourages guests to remain alert and watchful as they explore the resort. Beyond the colorful murals and soaring architecture are layers of stories waiting to be discovered.

This installment of “Meet Aulani’s ‘Ohana” features Cultural Greeter Kaleimakamae. She is one of six cultural greeters at the resort who share their passion for Hawaiian culture with guests and our fellow Disney ‘ohana. Based in the Maka‘ala lobby, the setting is a natural place for our cultural greeters to tell the many stories behind the lobby’s artwork, artifacts, design and architecture.

Meet Kaleimakamae in the video below!

Be sure to say “aloha” to one of our cultural greeters during your next visit to Aulani Resort!
