NEWS: Disney's Aulani Resort Under State of Emergency Due to Hurricane Kiko

The entire state of Hawaii, including a Disney destination known as Disney’s Aulani Resort, is currently facing a major weather event. Aulani resort, along with the rest of Hawaii, is currently under a state of emergency due to the forecasted path of a hurricane.

According to ABC News, Hawaii’s acting governor, Sylvia Luke, issued a state of emergency for the entire state ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Kiko. This would include Disney’s Aulani Resort on the island of Oahu.

In a press release, the governor’s office wrote, “The proclamation activates emergency measures and resources to protect public health, safety and welfare. Tropical storm-force winds, heavy rainfall and high surf associated with Hurricane Kiko could begin affecting portions of the state as early as Monday, September 8, 2025.”

Hurricane Kiko is currently a Category 4 hurricane about 1,200 miles east-southeast of Hawaii. It’s expected to arrive at the islands as a tropical storm on Monday. This will bring life-threatening surf and rip currents, as well as other impacts. Forecasters expect the hurricane to begin weakening this weekend.

“To ensure the safety and preparedness of our communities, the state and counties will stand ready to mobilize resources to clear debris, secure infrastructure, and respond quickly to any possible damage caused by the storm,” said Luke. “We urge residents and visitors to monitor updates, follow official guidance and prepare accordingly.”
