As they were getting ready to face off in the Pro Bowl game at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu last week, NFL players stopped for a bit of fun and relaxation with their families at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, in Ko Olina, Hawai`i. On Friday, Jan. 25, the NFL Players Association hosted a special reception at the resort, which featured hula dancing, ukulele lessons, visits with Disney characters and more.

We took a tour of the sample Aulani rooms they had next to the Disneyland Hotel when we were considering DVC. Very very nice! I know where we’ll be staying if we can ever afford a Hawaii trip!

A good marketing move by DVC. NFL players can easily afford to buy points at Aulani!

We first visited Aulani in Jan, 2012. It was wonderful.

Looking forward to our second trip there this April 8 – 13!
