Megan Prine

Megan Prine has a reputation among her friends as a "Disneyland Nerd", earned thanks to her frequent trips from the soggiest place on Earth Seattle to the Happiest Place on Earth. She's been halfway around the world to Hong Kong Disneyland, but has yet to make it to Walt Disney World (go figure!). Megan (sounds like "vegan") is a fan of classic Disney movies, some of her favorites include The Parent Trap, Swiss Family Robinson, Babes in Toyland and the Silly Symphony "Skeleton Dance". Her mantra is that life is short, so we owe it to ourselves to make time for more fun and adventure than we think possible. Can also be seen on: Twitter as @meganprine, Meegie's Disneyland Tips, and Adventures With Barack, which follows the shenanigans of a certain presidential action figure.

Review: Thanksgiving at Aulani’s Makahiki Buffet

I was fortunate to spend Thanksgiving day this year at Disney’s Aulani Resort & Spa on Oahu with family and friends. Though we were staying on the other side of the island, we couldn’t resist the chance to make the drive to Ko Olina to check out Disney’s newest resort and enjoy a Hawaiian Thanksgiving sprinkled with Disney magic. First impression of Aulani: spectacular! The food, well, that’s another story…

Aulani offered a special Thanksgiving event with entertainment and character appearances ($85 per adult and $73 per child – ouch!). Our party, a mix of adults and kids, opted instead for the buffet dinner at Makahiki, which at $40 for adults and $20 per child is reasonably priced as Hawai’i resort dining goes, and we figured it would offer something to suit everyone’s taste.

I had high hopes for the Makahiki buffet, a spacious area with subtle and soothing tropical decor that opens to a sunny patio. But truth be told, the food was predictable, not much was memorable or worth seconds, (but luckily there was plenty to try!).
