The Best Family-Friendly Resorts in Hawaii, According to a Local | Condé Nast Traveler

"There’s no family resort in Hawaii more magical than this $800 million Disney playground on Oʻahu’s leeward coast, where the all-heated pools include a saltwater lagoon teeming with colorful reef fish and another complex with a waterslide and tube ride that spills into a lazy river. Kids can fill days with free scavenger hunts, outdoor Disney movie nights, ukulele lessons, nature walks, firepit storytelling, and meet-and-greets with Moana, Goofy, and Mickey, while adults slip away to a world-class spa, fitness classes, the island’s only outdoor hydrotherapy garden, or the 18-hole golf course just across the street. The Ka Waʻa Lūʻau is pricey but worth it—open bar, parents!—and yes, Mickey and Minnie make appearances." - Catherine Toth Fox
