I'm reminded that, for better or worse, Disney is the entry point for many people into the world of tiki, whatever it may be for them at that moment. Sometimes Disney hooks 'em, then a casual observation of a tiki bar, an advertisement for a tiki event, or even another friend draws folks into the tikiness which we celebrate and enjoy so much.

There will be many who visit Aulani and will come home with life-long memories of the decor and the ambiance of the place. I suspect they will be pleasantly surprised when they notice (or discover) similar things when they get back home. Just buying a Disney tiki mug can lead to much more.
