Specialized areas include a steam bath, steam room, tiled sauna and aromatic rain showers. Guests can relish the Rainforest’s calming ocean views while reclining in heated mosaic tile relaxation chairs, or lounge outside in one of two whirlpool hot tubs on the private teak deck.
  • Two lavish spa villas – for the ultimate indulgence, the villas feature an indoor spa treatment suite connected to a private outdoor verandah with personal whirlpool hot tub, shower and a plush, double lounge chair.
  • Ocean-view gym – a nearly 2,500-square-foot gym with state-of-the-art exercise equipment and complimentary group classes such as yoga, Pilates, aerobics, stretching and spinning.
  • Additional Senses Spa & Salon offerings include manicures, pedicures, hair salon services, a barber shop and teeth whitening at the Smile Spa.

Indulge…
Sweeping ocean views, rich décor and epicurean excellence create the setting for a romantic escape aboard the Disney Dream in a redesigned version of Disney Cruise Line’s signature specialty restaurant, Palo.  Named after the colorful poles that line the canals of Venice, Disney Cruise Line’s signature restaurant invites adults to indulge in a menu of delectable Northern Italian cuisine, an extensive wine list and superior service.

For an entirely new Palo experience on the Disney Dream, guests may dine al fresco on Palo’s private outdoor teak deck, with picturesque views and warm ocean breezes further tantalizing the senses.

In an exquisite, top-deck restaurant with incredible ocean views, Disney Cruise Line debuts Remy – its first-ever premier dining option. With French-inspired, gourmet cuisine by two award-winning chefs, Remy melds classic and contemporary styles in a sophisticated new dining concept exclusively for adults on the Disney Dream.

Chef Arnaud Lallement from l’Assiette Champenoise, a Michelin two-star restaurant just outside Reims, France, and Chef Scott Hunnel from award-winning Victoria & Albert’s at Walt Disney World Resort, collaborate to create a menu featuring superior products and seasonal ingredients.

Polished touches at Remy include a tableside trolley for serving international cheeses, decanting stations for wines, and post-prandial coffee service including French press and grand crème. A private Chef’s Table dining room provides a glimpse into the kitchen and offers a special multi-course menu.

Pixie Hollow Online Video Game Review

Pixie Hollow Online Video Game Review

Fly away to the magical world of Pixie Hollow.com. This fun yet addicting game is a welcome addition to the Disney Online video game lineup. I was given an account to test out the past week for free (thanks Kirsten!). My daughter who loved the fairy creation is still a little young for the games themselves still loved looking at the fairies and helping out on the games. If you look at the picture above that is the fair she created, with help from her daddy of course.

Pixie Hollow Online Video Game Review

Who really loved the game was my wife. When the little one went to bed you would catch her playing it online. I asked her what she liked about the game and she had this to say.

I love the mini games. They are fun and addicting. There are some games which are variations of puzzle games I have played before while other things are new and quite interesting.

It is a fun break away from playing Facebook games night after night, and there is just so many places I have yet to explore.

I have noticed she is starting to make some friends in there and there is definitely re-playability with most of the games. We have a laptop so night after night while I was watching something on tv she was next to me gaming.

Pixie Hollow Online Video Game Review

I played some of the games myself and found them very easy to learn and fun to play. I would recommend this game to girls who are old enough to read or for those like my wife who play online puzzle games.

For more information check out Pixie Hollow website and try it out for yourself. Let us know what you think of it in the comment section below.

Families will experience the island in ways they might never have discovered before.”

With age-specific programming planned for ages 3-10, tweens, teens, adults and the entire family, there will be something for everybody. From pool parties with Disney characters to excursions into the rainforest and surf to learning how to prepare Hawaiian cuisine with local chefs, days and nights will be filled with the magic of Disney in the beautiful setting of Hawaii.

Introductory room rates start as low as $399 per night. Guests may choose from a variety of room options, including ocean or garden views.

The resort, built adjacent to a crystal-blue lagoon and a white-sand beach, features 359 hotel rooms and 481 two-bedroom equivalent Disney Vacation Club villas. Rooms are housed in two 15-story towers with commanding views of the ocean, mountains and magnificent grounds. On site are two restaurants, a wedding lawn, a conference center, and extensive water activities including a feature pool, 900-foot tube-floating watercourse, wading pool, body slides, sunset-facing hot tubs, a quiet adult pool, a snorkel lagoon and a conservation pool. Aulani will also include a signature kids’ club – Aunty’s Beach House – where kids will explore Hawaiian culture through arts and crafts, as well as fun and games, including interactive touch-table games. Additionally, kids can enjoy the enchanted fireplace, “make it rain” in order to start movie time and enjoy many other experiences created just for them.

Aulani is located on the western side of Oahu, upon 21 acres of oceanfront property in the Ko Olina Resort & Marina development. The resort is located 17 miles from Honolulu International Airport and features convenient access to a Ted Robinson-designed 18-hole championship golf course.
