I absolutely adore seeing Kitra's reaction to being back in Aulani, and to seeing the characters. My goal is to go back within the next couple of years, and during the Holidays for all the Xmas merchandise

[@user-uv7gd5ku4m]

As a Cast Member at Aulani, Mahalo Nui for staying with us! It was a pleasure being able to watch your video and see an entire new perspective. Hope you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to seeing you again!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beanmachine3208]

You know you’re going to have a good day when Ordinary Adventures posts a new video ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

You're the best!

Frfr ❤❤

[@sameerrajakumar]

We’re on vacation with them in every video

[@armandohernandez7164]

They are awesome

[@andreabustamante5431]

Where is that resort located

[@GoetiaTV]

I don’t know if I already said this, but I’ll say it again… I feel like over the past year your camerawork has been exceptional. It’s not just great shots, but there’s playfulness and character coming through that is like the sprinkles on the dole whip. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, and for more to come!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🥰 awww thanks so much

[@TheDailyWoo]

Gosh I love that place so much . Watching this made me miss it. The hot tub at sunset is favorite thing ever. Welcome to the world of DVC , makes all the sense in the world to have points at Aulani

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I don’t think there is a better place on this planet than that hot tub during sunset haha thanks for helping convince me to get DVC. So far it’s been more than worth it. Wish we had gotten it sooner

[@hawaiiblushes]

Thank you for being respectful to the monk seal. So many people don’t know to not approach them and it’s so sad. You guys are always so attuned to the culture and bring and abundance of Aloha. Love that you guys keep coming back. Finally splurged on a staycation for the first time in February and your videos have been one of the best Aulani series to watch.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

❤️ we try our best

[@ChrisRuzin]

The cats should be named Lilo and Stitch. Aulani looks amazing! We're definitely going to have to plan a trip there.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Great idea

[@tracyokuno2120]

Your appreciation for our island is so welcomed here. I love how you enjoyed Aulani Resort. It’s beautiful and magical there. And yes it’s hella expensive but what memories can be made😊

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yes! The memories are worth it ❤️

[@michaellovescheezecake8763]

Hour long Hawaii video?!?? My day just got so much better.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😁

[@UnicornWarLord77]

YESSSS 🎉 these are my fav videos after the Japan 🇯🇵 trip. I watch your AULANI videos when I go to bed sometimes too. So relaxing

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lillianfredriksson1890]

Peter’s expression drinking the chili pepper water still makes me bust out laughing.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😆 thanks

[@Davos.MishkaMom]

This past year I have gone to WDW, a Disney cruise on the wish, a merry time cruise and Aulani from watching your videos. They inspire me to treat myself and go on a vacation.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That is awesome!

[@jackieowen7717]

It never fails, Kitra has me dead at some point in every vid. This one? "Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion Show At Lunch!" hahahahahahahahaa!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😆 thanks

[@paigealw]

There’s absolutely nothing in the world like a Hawaiian sunset 💕

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

💯

[@ginaangelina4933]

“Fashion show, Fashion show, fashion show at lunch!” 😂❤😂😂

[@adv.withjerryandadrianna]

So amazing to see you both back at Aulani but also taking time to put the camera down and just enjoy your stay because you both definitely deserve it

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@disneyworldvacationer]

Welcome to the DVC family!! You guys deserve it. As a Disney fan, it feels AMAZING knowing you will be staying at all these beautifully themed hotels for years to come. Get ready to be obsessed with always looking at the booking website, deciding and changing every stay (i want to stay at ALL the resorts EVERY trip!) and getting the add on-itis bug. To a wonderful new year 🥂

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you. I can totally see that happening 😂

[@disneyworldvacationer]

@@OrdinaryAdventures oh yeah. And 2024 is probably the most exciting in years, especially DVC. The cabins at Fort Wilderness this summer, the new Poly tower winter and not to mention Disney in general with Fantasy Springs in Tokyo Disney and THEN the Disney Treasure cruise. It will be the best year yet. Ahhhhhh!! We are all so blessed!! Hope you guys get to do it all. “All of it” - Han

[@JoshuaCorban]

Wow, this is so exciting!! I can’t wait to see how much fun you two have in Aulani as DVC members :)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@deric708]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Happy 🎂 Birthday Kitra!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you 😊

[@tflo25]

Welcome to the club. Our family visited Aulani for the first time in September and we bought into DVC then. We’ve already stayed 1 night at the Disneyland Hotel. Our first big trip is going to be this summer at the Grand Floridian. Welcome home!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you 🙏

[@rayjoiner6736]

Thanks!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you so much 😊

[@wendyleonenko8962]

I'm re-watching this video in November 2024. I'm trying to ignore that its winter outside right now. By this time you have been to Japan and China - amazing places - but i just love re-watching your Hawaii videos. Keep having amazing adventures ❤

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We miss Hawaii

[@gabbyperedo8700]

so happy for y’all. I really love to see you and Kitra just living your best lives!!🤩🤩 y’all deserve it!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thank you so much!!

[@CamDatanagan]

@18:37 the leis I gifted you were Kukui nut leis.. Kukui nuts were a important part of the Hawaiian culture. They were used for candles as seen throughout the resort and also used for cold sores in the mouth. I hope you liked the candy also.. Have a great day!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

The candy was great! It was nice meeting you again and thank you for the hospitality, you were super nice!

[@tracyokuno2120]

I love 💕 you guys! You’re my newest favorite traveling couple! I love how you review your adventures! 😊

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much, we’re glad you’re enjoying our videos!

[@TheMademsily]

lol Kitra you are too funny. The chile pepper water will forever haunt us all 😂

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

haha thanks ☺️

[@ghostofthefuture]

Just had one of my roughest years in years. Just want to say that I watched this entire video on NYE, alone, and it was strangely comforting.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

❤️ sorry that you had a rough year. Remember you are never truly alone and as bad as it ever gets know that it’s going to be okay! Hope next year is better for you

[@lizalove91]

That sunset over the hot tub was beautiful!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

It was 🙌

[@samichmachine]

That zoom in and focus on the words of the D100 duffy and friends plush was INcredible. thank you so much for it, and this whole video!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

👍

[@cruse429]

We love you guys and my wife and I are so excited that you joined the dvc family! Can’t wait to watch more content like this!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much

[@edvaira6891]

9:20…Aww, man, the coffee stand by the pools closed?? That place was great

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yeah now it’s it’s a normal pool bar

[@MeganChristineP]

Congratulations, OA! What an incredible resort to call home. I got to visit in May ‘23 and loved watching your videos for inspo. Now I get to watch this series with beautiful memories of my own. Aloha 🌺

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

❤️

[@AttractionSource]

Aulani really is special. Wonderful vlog!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

It really is!

[@angelazuspan6302]

The shot at 44:30 is just...(not sure I have the word, but wow)...

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

I am convinced there is no better place on this earth than that hot tub during sunset 🌅

[@nicolelechman1521]

we'll be there next Saturday!! perfect timing for video

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@karlapants]

I like the Dole and Whip names for the cats

[@sarahcrowe8283]

Oh my days I literally guffawed at the AI recreation of Peter and his childhood pet turtle 🤣 - excellent work and another great video guys!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

😂 thanks

[@hanathompson6801]

I can't wait to go back to Aulani! It's just so amazing there. Congrats on becoming DVC members! I really enjoy DVC it's such a great value and has some great perks.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

👍

[@nadinenicole.r]

I have been so excited for this video!!! Congratulations on the DVC membership!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yay! Thank you!

[@tarac564]

Oh couldn’t be more excited about this new adventure for you both!!!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@cjkeating]

Amazing video. Can’t wait to be back at Aulani again in a few years time.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

You should!

[@cjkeating]

@@OrdinaryAdventures Well as you said so… 😅

[@madforthemagic3943]

We just started re-watching your previous Aulani/Oahu adventures as we prepare for our first trip there this summer. Last night we watched the infamous chili pepper water episode and even though I've seen it before, it didn't stop me from belly laughing so hard that I had tears running down my face! I really enjoyed how you edited this episode with focusing on just Aulani - I can't wait to see what is next! I think it makes perfect sense for you guys to own DVC at Aulani especially being located on the west coast. We joined DVC in 2018 and our only regret is not buying more points! We are excited to see all of the adventures you experienced during your trip! (Side note: What camera did you use for filming? The quality is out of this world!)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

We regret not getting DVC sooner. When Aulani opened 11 years ago points were only like $120 each 😯 we film everything with either the Sony a7s3 or the Sony Zv-e1. They both have the same exact sensor, ones just smaller and simpler. This video we used a new 16-35mm lens that we don’t normally use

[@kevindrake4529]

I saw you posted a new video before I left work. I stopped on the way home and got my favorite takeout and a nice bottle of wine and am sitting down to enjoy your video from Hawaii. An Ordinary Adventure vacation video is an event to enjoy!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Sounds like a good night ☺️

[@sheldonwood3597]

I’ve been so excited for this since I saw an Insta post! Yay for new adventures!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

🙌

[@werew3]

Honestly this is your home away from home! So seems this is your place you go to every year around xmas. I remember watching you guys for like a few years now so it’s amazing! Lovee this!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Thanks so much. Happy holidays

[@oleg1ch]

Finally catching up on the videos - Terrific views and a nice change from your last trip video at Aulani. When we travel in August we wont be staying there BUT will definitely come to check it out.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Yes! For sure go get a dole whip 🍦 and buy some exclusive merch!

[@zorepartyof4454]

I LOVE your Aulani videos! You can really tell how much you both love it there! Can’t wait to see more❤

Happy belated Birthday Kitra 🌻🎂❤🦜❤

Thank you 🙏

[@Lady_Peaches]

Just wanted to mention, as all DVC studios have access to the laundry for free. We do our washing before going home so it’s all clean and just put away when you get home.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Did not know that. Great tip

[@theefamilyadventures]

Love our DVC! Cannot wait to see all the trips and tricks you two discover and share.

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

[@NoFunMYR]

Soundproof segment, amazing. More people need to do that in a hotel review. :)

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

Ha it’s very important here as the pool area can be noisy. I wouldn’t say loud because it’s not like a party pool but you know what I mean.

[@marcelmazpule2287]

You guys get a lot of love cause you're good people and very funny, plus your channel is great.

As a non DVC member I love that I can rent points from members. It's basically the only way I was able to afford a stay at Aulani. I ended up getting a room for 40% off the rack rate!

[@OrdinaryAdventures]

That’s how we did it the first time in 2020 so many people were trying to sell their points that we got a room for like $9 a point
