Disney’s Aulani Character Meal:  Aunty’s Breakfast Celebration at Makahiki review


For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.


My daughter and I wanted to take part in Aunty’s Breakfast Celebration at Disney’s Aulani.  We felt that the Character Breakfast was a must for us.  We had no issues in booking the breakfast for 2 and even changed the breakfast time with no problems.  It is held daily at Makahiki which is located on the first floor of the resort just below the check-in area.

The check-in area.  We only waited about 10 minutes from the time we were checked in until we were called.  We were given a small piece of paper with our last name and party size.  They use this at the photo op with Mickey.Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki

The seating area.  Some were seated inside and some were outside.  I’d request the outside area, if I had to do it again.  Aunty does most of her performances outside, but does do the parade through the inside area with the children.Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki
After your name is called, you pass through the empty bar area outside to meet the Big Cheese, Mickey Mouse.  He is waiting for you in some awesome Hawaiian gear.  We waited another 5 minutes or so outside while other families in front of us had their photo taken.  Shaka!

Mickey didn’t hurry us and we could take different poses if we liked. The photopass person was there to take our photo.  They offer you a photo package at your table, if you wish to purchase it.  We opted just to use our own camera.Mickey Mouse at Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki Mickey Mouse at Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki

After you’re seated the other characters come around to your table to visit.  Goofy stopped by first.  He is smart because he is wearing “water shoes” as my wife calls them.  We should have brought those for the rocky areas around the shores of Oahu.Goofy at Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki Goofy at Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki

I then hit the buffet to stuff myself with the delicious food.  Fresh fruit, fresh pastry items, American and Asian foods, it was all so good.Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki

Minnie stopped by our table next.  Facebook friends seemed to really love her dress.Minnie Mouse at Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki Minnie Mouse at Disney's Aulani Character Breakfast Meal at Makahiki

We asked if Stitch appears and were told he doesn’t.  We asked our server if he could have Aunty stop by for a photo.  She is so kind and gracious and brings a lot of fun with her Ukulele and children’s fun.

A few notes:

  1.  You can meet these same characters (plus others) and same costumes either on the lawn or near the pool, but Aunty didn’t meet adults outside the restaurant.  (She does activities in the kid’s center)
  2.  There is a wide variety of food items and adults can get the waffles from the children’s section.
  3.  The little sing-a-longs and parade with Aunty and the characters made the experience even more fun.
