Kukui Nuts have been used in Hawaiian culture for thousands of years, for everything from soothing skin to crafting necklaces for chiefs and kings. And now, guests have the opportunity to create their very own Kukui Nut leis on select afternoons in the Great Ceremonial House lobby!

Animal Kingdom Lodge is a one-of-a-kind resort, and you can always count on them to provide incredibly unique ways to celebrate every holiday! Their long-standing Easter tradition allows guests to paint real ostrich eggs for Easter, and I was lucky enough to join in this year!

Here’s a new reason to visit Polynesian Village! Their “Paint a Tiki Mask” activity is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon hanging out by the beautiful Seven Seas Lagoon!

I recently experienced the Once Upon a Painting activity at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and there truly has never been a more fitting activity for a Magic Kingdom area resort. It doesn’t get much better than painting a castle, with a view of a castle! This activity is held every Monday and Friday from 12:30-2:30PM inside the California Grill restaurant.

I’ve seen signs advertising the “Paint Your Disney Story” in the Grand Floridian lobby for months now, and I finally had a chance to give it a try! I stopped in on a Monday afternoon recently and spent a couple of wonderfully relaxing hours painting my own ceramic storybook.
