The Hawaiian Islands are on high alert as an approaching tropical storm threatens to disrupt the popular tourist destination. Tropical Storm Calvin, previously a hurricane, now resides just south of a beloved Disney Resort. While it has been downgraded, experts warn of the storm’s potential impacts, including heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and powerful waves.
Tropical Storm Calvin Will Hit Hawaii
Tropical storm conditions are possible in the warning area on Tuesday as the storm edges closer. With rainfall forecasts of 4 to 8 inches (possibly up to 10 inches), the southern areas of Hawaii are hunkering down for quite a lot of water heading their way. The rest of the state anticipates rainfall totals of 1 to 4 inches, which could still contribute to localized flash flooding and potential mudslides.
Aside from the relentless rainfall, Tropical Storm Calvin is expected to generate substantial swells, causing water levels to rise rapidly. Life-threatening waves are possible along impacted areas, posing a significant danger to beachgoers and marine activities.
Tropical Storm South of Aulani Resort
As the storm’s trajectory shifts south, it puts Aulani Resort, a popular Disney tourist location, out of much of the area expected to receive the worst weather. However, the lingering threat of heavy rain and the potential for flash flooding persists, urging residents and visitors to remain vigilant and prepared. With tropical storm force winds said to extend over 100 miles from the center of Calvin, the Resort’s dedicated staff closely monitors the situation.
Aulani Resort, known for its peaceful island setting and amazing views, is no stranger to the hardships of tropical weather. The harmony between the Resort’s cherished charm and the turbulent forces of nature is delicately balanced. While the coming storm may put a wrench in some vacation plans, Guests can be confident that they are in good hands.

Disney Resort Dodges Hurricane
Hawaii is well acquainted with the unpredictability of tropical storms and understands the importance of resilience and preparedness. As Tropical Storm Calvin continues its journey through the Central Pacific, the safety and security of residents and visitors remain paramount. Aulani Resort prioritizes the well-being of its Guests as they navigate the potential impacts of this dynamic weather system.
This year’s hurricane season is expected to be pretty nasty. The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida has already faced some potential bad weather. Both the theme park and Disney Cruise Line have been shut down to tropical storms in the past, though this is the first one of the year for Aulani Resort.
As the tropical storm near the Disney Resort progresses, hope is now high that the island state will escape what could have been a much worse weather disaster. Tropical Storm Calvin is supposed to weaken even further into the night and no longer poses the same threat analysts predicted last week. While the immediate danger to Disney’s Aulani Resort may have diminished, Guests and the community must still be aware that some inclement weather is heading their way. Furthermore, the best way to keep up to date with changes is via the National Hurricane Center website.
