KA WA‘A Luau at Aulani Resort Returns March 27 The KA WA’A Luau at Aulani Resort will be returning on March 27th. This immersive experience includes live music, traditional dance, and ancient stories of Hawai‘i through Disney’s signature entertainment. However, given current health and safety requirements, the show will be modified in light of these protocols. The luau features a three-course plated meal that includes imu-style braised pork, island fish, teriyaki chicken, local seasonal vegetables, and a dessert trio. To accompany the meal, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages are included in the event price. After dinner, guests are treated to an enchanting journey through Hawaiian history and discover its deep cultural roots in canoe exploration, which brought the first explorers to the shores of Ko Olina. Throughout the evening, live music and traditional Hawaiian dance vividly bring the show’s story to life. The luau is offered three nights per week at 5 p.m., weather permitting. Reservations can be made online, or by calling (844) 284-7644. Reserve early as seating is limited to maintain physical distance between parties.
