If you are a huge Snoopy and Peanuts fan, THIS is the shop for you!…read more Long story short, I came across this store through social media and was initially planning to visit their Waikiki store. However, we took a day trip to Haleiwa and realize they had a second location in this town. The store is very easy to spot. Please note that parking in this area is kinda difficult so expect to walk a little bit. The store is pretty small but offers a wide variety of t-shirts, stickers, tote bags, key chains, etc. This store is not cheap by any means, so be ready to drop some serious coin here. However, I really liked that they had some unique designs specific to Haleiwa, which in my opinion made them a great souvenir for Snoopy fans.

It's also right next to Matsumoto Shave Ice, so you can easily stop by before or after grabbing some shave ice. Such a fun little stop while exploring the North Shore!

However, I have no idea what kinds of issues they may've had in the past with shoplifting, so it was partially understandable. On our first trip, the younger of the two ladies was very helpful in helping me pick out a dress for the luau we booked (even though she was a little pushy on buying two dresses), and helped me to the changing room to try on a few options. Being a bigger girl, I wasn't expecting to see one-size-fits-all dresses, and only went in expecting to get some souvenirs. Their shirt and dress designs were better than the others we'd seen, and they've got great tote bags - on our last day there, we made a special trip just so I could buy my own!

"The Inspiration"…read more Curating their inventory to fit the local need. Family owned and operated. Cozy and welcoming, it's a place with unique offerings. They lock into the local community to make the whole town feel complete. It's a special, one-of-a-kind place. These are the mom 'n pop stores I grew up with on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Some are still around. Mom 'n pop stores, the inspiration behind Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Ko Olina-O'ahu. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "My Storytelling" It's the weekend and my parents are taking my siblings and I to a kiosk in Kaiko'o Mall. To enjoy Icee from Kaiko'o Seeds N'things, as we choose bags of cracked seed from this mom 'n pop store. Household appliances weren't purchased from corporate retailers like today. My family and most of East Hawai'i years+ ago were loyal to mom 'n pop stores like Modern Appliance. Next door, Kay's Lunch Center had the most delicious Korean fried chicken made by "mom", and slices of homemade cream pies by "pop". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Kai Store since 1948, Chika Nakano since 1975, Optical Dispensers, Hilo Siam Thai Restaurant (see my Yelp review), and Leung's Chop Suey House since 1975. Doris Place since 1948 on the west side and Hirano Store since 1969 in Mountain View. These are some of the mom 'n pop stores currently still in-business on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Since my childhood. And of course, the Hasegawa General Store since 1910, still serving the local community in Hana-Maui. Featured in the Disney animated film, Lilo & Stitch. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Disney Storytelling" A story is shared with intricate details. Culturally significant, extremely immersive. The Disney way - through storytelling. The culture of the Hawaiian people is displayed in the most creative way by Disney Imagineers. Unlike any resort in Hawai'i. Unique architecture and design, awe-inspiring artwork and murals throughout. Multi-sensory excellence at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Home to Kalepa's Store. The only place to purchase official Disney merchandise and exclusive Aulani items in Hawai'i. (Visit my Yelp review of Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Elevated Perspective" Joyful suspension, relaxed excitement. A rental car made the drive possible from Waikīkī on my first visit. Fourteen months later, a last minute window of opportunity became available for another visit to Kalepa's Store. I've learned to look upwards for hidden high level details and architectural Disney magic. As I entered Kalepa's Store, I found the most meaningful key designing element. Framed photos of actual mom 'n pop stores in Hawai'i. Some are now closed, others are currently still in business. It brought personality, warmth, meaning and an authentic deep connection to the rich history of my home-state. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Retail exclusivity is why I'm here. Unique Aulani logo items, clothing and accessories that cannot be found inside the Disney theme parks and online. Bags of Disney Parks Main Street Popcorn like those found at Disneyland are found along with my favorite, Gummi Disney Character Bites. Guest service excellence at Kalepa's Store. Individual attention, personalized conversations, strong engagement from the cast members. We laughed and reminisced about our past trips to Disneyland, Disney vloggers we watch. Photo ops were taken, care was extended. I felt valued. That the drive from Waikīkī was worth every minute, that my choice to be here as a local Hawai'i resident was appreciated. I'm departing Kalepa's Store, Aulani logo shopping bags in both hands with orange tissue paper puffs. All smiles, I'm content. Parking validation is extended since my purchase reached a certain dollar amount. It's now time to enjoy the resort property for just a while longer... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Future Inspired" Mom 'n pop stores. Independent, family-owned, a unique role in the local community. But they struggle to compete with larger corporations, big box retailers and e-commerce platforms who have buying power. My visit to Kalepa's Store at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa opened my eyes. It made me realize my unique role in my local community, how important my choices are. Where I shop, where I dine, where I choose to take my business as a consumer. It matters to help keep money circulating nearby for the vitality of mom 'n pop stores and small businesses in my community, on my home-island. In Hawai'i. Even though I'm employed by a corporation, I've recently decided on making small, gradual changes in some of my habitual spending. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Be Inspired" I implore you to do the same while you visit, shop, casually meander and enjoy the most unique resort property in Hawai'i. Like I did. Stay for hours, return for a second time, or become an overnight guest. Immerse yourself in the details. Embrace the magic of Disney and the rich history of Hawai'i at Kalepa's Store. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. Become inspired.

I've bought a few over the years. I didn't see anything that I liked this time around. They did have those popular Disney x Aloha print bags near the entrance. People were buying everything in the store. They were standing in line holding clothes, mugs, toys, headbands with the ears and snacks. I really liked the Disney ears, but they were $40 something each or $30 each when you buy 3. I decided not to get them, even though they were so cute.

They have a shop at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. It's the Kahala Hotel, so it's going to be pricey. It was $38 for a small box. I believe I paid $26 a while back at the hotel. I'm not sure if they had an increase or it's just more at this location. They also sell teas, coffees and cookies here. They also have a collab with Hello Kitty. There were Hello Kitty plushes with the Kahala Hotel logo on it with their signature blue. They were adorable.

I couldn't help but call to get more information. After hitting a few snags, my friend who works in the area stopped in and helped me place an order. My friend kindly helped me place the order and gave them my info (shipping address and payment info). It took a little while but the manager Maria helped me stay on top of things in getting my order which came by FedEx. It was nicely packed in a FedEx box and packed very well. I read the box instructions very carefully in learning that the best way to store them would be to find a cool, dry place as I get to them. Most of the boxes were for gifting to friends but you know that I must indulge too. I started with the guava strawberry mac nuts (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=h3bVHZfQ7AWxWiJpGANm5A&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) on the advice of my helpful Oahu friend; the flavors are certainly there is you like that fruity flavor and, as mentioned in the video, those nuts are not your ordinary store bought variety. The other box that I opened was due to my leaning towards this flavor for sherbet and Taiwanese snacks, the pineapple mac nuts (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mdyb-9A0_sUmSxWOkrOi1w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); the flavor is not as sweet but you certainly get that pineapple essence here. One friend who received her gift opened her box of the lilikoi mac nuts (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=60iDuIVDjmj7-poV6ABx3A&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and shared a few pieces with me. Surprisingly, this might me my favorite right now as it had that sweetness but the tang from the lilikoi (passion fruit) that made it a bit interesting. I still have a few other flavors that I bought and have yet to try since I can only afford (waistline) to eat so much at a time. Looking forward to hearing reactions from my friends who will try this and looking forward to trying other flavors. If you're in Waikiki, it's a good opportunity to get a taste of Kahala without having to go to their property.
