So being that we were staying at a Disney resort, of course we had to attend a character breakfast!! I fell in love with character breakfasts when Jason and I went to one in Disneyland. They are so amazing, especially for the Disney freak, like myself. You get a delicious breakfast, with amazing food, and you get to meet the characters-Win.Win.
So we decided to try out Aulanis' character breakfast. We were not able to secure a reservation, but we got up super early and were basically the first ones down there to try and get on a wait list. We succeeded! They told us that they were not sure, and we would only get in, if a family cancelled. Well lo and behold our names were called first! We were the first ones into the character breakfast, EEK!!
So this one is really cute, because they have this sweet old Hawaiian lady come around and dance and sing while she plays on her ukelele. When you first come in, she stops you and tells you about her secret recipe Hawaiian Sweet bread, and gives you the recipe, then you get your picture taken with Mickey, and then proceed to your table.
Early morning at Aulani
Still dark!
Just some flowers they keep at the front desk for your hair, mine would never stay!
I joined the side that loves Disney for breakfast
Totes Adorbs.
Minnie Mouse wears Hawaiian dress..of course she does
Please forgive the ick factor face..it was early...but I was definitely double fisting the drinks
I am not sure what the point of this picture was..but I think we were stealing pastries for the day
After breakfast, we decided to head to the North Shore, because they have been having competitions for the Eddie Aikau surf competition. In order for the wave to be suitable for the "Eddie" it has to reach a minimum of 20 feet. They have only held this surf competition 8 times total, because of how high the swells have to be. They only invite 28 surfers, and a jet ski is not allowed to tow you out to the waves. Pretty dangerous if you ask me!! But they have been having "Eddie" type waves, so we went to check it out.
Unfortunately, no Eddie waves were to be had, but they still had pretty big waves, and plenty of surfers to boot! We went to this first beach, and there wasn't a whole lot going on. We didn't spend a ton of time here, but when we left the waves were definitely picking up!
Here are a few pics of this beach...
Starting to curl...
Squall!
My little foot prints
Makes me want to watch Blue Crush
Since the waves were not very big at this beach, we decided to head over to Turtle Bay because we heard there were a lot more surfers there, and that the waves would be bigger then what we were experiencing here..
This is what we saw..
I would be so nervous to be out there!
Just like in the movies
Seriously amazing. Some of those guys are so fearless, I am so jealous...hopefully I can be like that someday! After walking by some of the surfers that had been out there, I over heard one of them saying that the waves were crazy that day, and he was suprised not one person had been injured yet..Yikes!!
Watching all that surfing made us work up an appetite. We went to Kua Aina Burger and Sandwich shop. This place is seriously amazing!! I guess they have one in Japan too! But anyway, these burgers are GINORMOUS!! I could not even put my mouth around it..and they put WHOLE avacados on your burger. I wish I was kidding! Seriously so amazing. It was delicious! MM I am craving one now. No pics, because I was wanting to eat my burger so bad.
After we went to Kua Aina, we decided to walk around a little bit at the few shops they had there to settle our food and do some shopping a little bit. I didnt see anything I couldn't live without...oh except for Hawaiian shaved ice...with the ice cream in the middle!! Seriously...MMM.. So we of course had to stop. I got 3 flavors in mine, Cake Batter, Strawberry, and Orange. If that doesn't sound amazing, I don't know what does. So we had that, then were pretty much ready to take off for the day. The rest of the crew wanted to stop by a few surf shops to look around, but Amanda and I just waited in the car.
After we left the North Shore, we came home, went to a not so yummy Teriyaki dinner, and then pretty much went to sleeps.
