Kalepa’s Store

Cool little Disney store directly above the grand staircase. They offer a 10% discount for chase Disney customers. They also have snacks and food for purchase.

Very quaint little general store on Aulani’s property.
I visited Kalepa’s to buy some Disney Parks goodies. They carry a small variety of Disney goodies made specifically for Aulani along with some general Disney Parks merchandise (which cannot be found anywhere else on Oahu). They also sell snacks, drinks, and other necessities like a mini mart.
Overall, the prices are expensive like anything you would find at Disneyland/​Disney World. But as a Disney fan, it’s always worth it to me! Stitch is all over this store and he’s my favorite character so I’m always thrilled to add more Stitch goodies to my collection.
I wish this store could extend though. I’d love more selection of the Disney Parks snacks like their taffy and chocolate covered Mickey pretzels! I also would like more Disney Princess presence as a princess fan. Wouldn’t Ariel merchandise be an awesome addition with the beach so close by? Guess I will just have to continue to go to Disneyland for my real Disney fix.

The Aulani’s gift shop and sundries store gets 5 stars for selling Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwiches and ice cream bars. It’s a must every time we stay at the Aulani. Love it!

They sell the Disney tsum tsum’s here! I was so happy when I saw them and caught them on a good day! They were just restocking and had a deal for the small ones, buy 3 for $ 15 (or it would be $ 6 each). Other things were pretty expensive but I was just super glad for the tsum tsum :)

I didn’t see as many Hawaiian Disney souvenirs as I would have hoped. I was actually a bit underwhelmed. Maybe it’s just my own expectations.
The workers here are very nice though.
Free 30 mon parking. $ 35 if you go over. I literally ran in, had a mad search for a gift for a friend, and ran back to my car– 25 mins. The searching took a while.

Great general store for Aulani merchandise. Great Disney items with the Aulani logo. Not really that pricey for Disney stuff. Wish they offered more of the Disneyland candies that they sell at the theme park. ie chocolate covered pretzels!!!
Friendly staff, great items, fun for everyone!!!

Kalepa’s has a good selection of Aulani merchandise that is exclusive to the resort. Most of the t-​shirts are in the $ 35 range but some are made by Crazy Shirts which tends to be good quality. The price point is pretty high though when it comes to kid’s t-​shirts, which if you are buying for kids, this can add up quick.
They also sell Mickey-​Shaped Macadamia Nut Shortbread Cookies, which are super-​cute and are the perfect souvenir gift for family and friends. They come in plain, chocolate dipped and guava flavor and they also sell variety boxes. The packaging is simple but cute and each cookie is individually wrapped.
You can also find the exclusive Dooney & Bourke bags here with the Disney Aulani designs on them. There is also a good selection of exclusive pins that you can only buy at Aulani.
I love what the Imagineers have done with the design of the store, especially the shave ice machine chandelier that hangs from above. The whole store feels like you might be in a genuine old-​time Hawaiian general store on the island, but nicer.
The one big downside of shopping at Kalepa’s and Aulani in general is that they don’t offer any type of discount on merchandise and food — and I have a lot of the Disney memberships — NO Disneyland/​Disney World Annual Pass Discount, NO D23 discount and not even a discount on your Disney Visa credit card! Even though we are not DVC members, I heard that they don’t get a discount here, either. This is a big let-​down, considering almost every other place offers at least 10% off your bill.

Only place on earth, (Except EBay) you can buy the Menehune Vinylmation Figurine. It’s the only general store option on the Aulani resort and it’s not cheap, but they do have unique Disney Pins, Christmas Ornaments and other Disney items. Unless you’re looking for a Disney or Aulani souvenir I would do my grocery shopping across the street at the Island Country Market by ABC stores or Costco/​Target/​Safeway in Kapolei.
If your staying at the resort this is a convenient option for the refillable cup that Aulani offers and small selections of Food and Drinks, they have alcohol too but it will cost you.

This store has cute things! Please don’t expect a large Disney store. It is a small store with mini mart type items and Aulani/​character goods. The cute store is located in the Ewa Tower on lobby level. The prices are steep but it’s Disney so of course its expensive and if you can afford to stay here you can afford to shop here (I couldn’t afford to stay here but stay for free thanks to my in-​laws). A lot of people purchase the $ 20 refillable Aulani hot/​cold tumbler. When you purchase this tumbler and you are able to refill it throughout your stay! We got coffee, cocoa, all kinds of soda though out our stay. The tumbler is refillable at any soda fountain in the resort.
Omiyage galore! I purchased my daughter a whole bunch of cute Aulani items I got her the Aulani Stitch ($ 25), Aulani MIckey Mouse ornament ($ 10) a Aulani t-​shirt ($ 25), and a Nemo beach bucket ($ 5.95). For the co-​workers I got Aulani pens ($ 5) and Aulani shopping bags. Last, for my obaachan in Japan I got some Aulani Chocolate dipped cookies ($ 25) for my mom to take to Japan next week.
BTW, a worker there Meleana had Aloha spirit and Disney spirit to da max! She was so helpful and kind! Mahalo Meleana!!!

Kalepa’s Store is a great gift shop and sundries store located in the Ewa Tower side of the lobby at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa. Bear in mind that this IS a HOTEL store, so prices are inflated. Care for a $ 4 bottle of Waialua Soda?
Anyway, once you get the sticker shock, they do have a great variety of clothes, dolls, goodies, gifts, and even food & wine. I frequent this store a lot when staying on property and make it a point to visit the store any time I may be on property, primarily to purchase Disney Pins and to check out what Disney Vacation Club (DVC) gear they have on hand.
The staff here, for the most part, is very friendly as well. I do, however, generally see the same people when I go here. They don’t remember who I am, but their level of service has been consistent across all my visits since Test Days back in August 2011, prior to the resort opening.
I love the fact that you can charge all purchases on your room key here as well Would be even better if they offered a discount for all DVC members… if the Disney Store offers a 10% discount to DVC members, then why not the resort shop?

This is the best souvenir shop on the resort. Cute postcards, shirts, toys and accessories. Buy the reusable cup from here and you can refill it for free throughout the duration of your stay! You can also get some meals togo here and if you need, you can ask for a microwave for your room. (the microwave is first come, first serve) Have fun! Lucky duck! You’re at the Aulani!
