Hello .. when I went to Aulani to get the Dole whip they have 3 versions: Pure Dole Whip, pure Vanilla soft serve, or swirl (half dole whip and half Vanilla ice cream). The half/half swirl version is unreal .. is the swirl version what they serve at Disneyland? The pure dole whip pineapple version is good, but when mixed with vanilla soft server it's quite magical. thanks

I realized s this is an old video but I’m headed to Oahu in November. Which site did you book this Airbnb? I looked online but it seems like different sites offer rentals. I want to use a reputable site. I’m going solo and can’t wait! 🤟🏽

So there’s some bad news 😭 There is a new law prohibiting Airbnb’s on most of the island :( our Airbnb is now “illegal” and not bookable (I am sorry if I forgot to update the description!). You can rent Airbnb’s in the Waikiki area still! That’s one of the few (or only) legal places to have an Airbnb now. We are super bummed about this because we love Airbnb and love staying in a more local area in the island. ☹️ So our tip is to either book a more traditional b&b or stay in Waikiki at an Airbnb!
