We had a last minute idea to take a family Christmas photo before our eldest daughter and her…read morefamily left island and Santa, Mrs. Clause, and team were committed to making it a special moment! They were patient with the kids; trying their best to get the "perfect" shot. The perfection was in the care and time they gave to a family stressing out trying to make as many magical moments together before we were apart again. The decorations make for a magical experience leading up to, and after while we wait to see the photo gallery. There is a kid coloring section and an additional photo op space! The perfect family friendly, magical location to meet Santa, and Mrs. Clause!!! She is the icing on the cake! Greeting you as you turn the corner; a glimpse of magic for the kids before they see the "big guy." And at the end, daunting task of choosing the pictures was just as magical! Book it now! Tell them Glenn sent you! P.s. Wednesday is 20% off of already $35 deal! @kamakana ALII MALL ONLY Shout outs; @santa @mrsclaus @caleb @matt

Disappointing and disorganized experience We took our kids…read moreto take photos with Santa at Ka Makana and made an appointment for 3:25 PM. Despite having a scheduled time, we weren't seen until close to 4:00 PM. There was no clear organization in the line appointments and walk-ins were mixed together, and walk-ins were being taken before those with reservations. When our appointment time had already passed and we stepped forward to ask when we would be seen, we were criticized by others in line, which was uncomfortable and completely avoidable with proper line management. The most disappointing part was the actual interaction with Santa. There was little engagement with the kids, they weren't asked what they wanted for Christmas. This was especially frustrating since the reservation form specifically asks what your child wants for Christmas. What's the point of including that information if it's never used? We made an appointment expecting a smoother process and a more magical, personalized experience for our kids. Unfortunately, neither happened. Definitely not what we expected, especially during the holidays.
