Stay on property or regret it
Ohana is a single-property event — pool parties, vending, seminars, and the Waikiki Supper Club show all happen at the Tiki Resort. The room block is the event. Register and book lodging the same day; overflow motels line Canada Street but you'll feel the distance at midnight.
Adirondack June has two temperatures
Sunny 80s at the afternoon pool party, low 50s by the time the last band finishes. Pack a layer that goes with an aloha shirt. The lake itself is still spring-cold in late June — the heated pool is the scene; the lake dip is a badge.
NY liquor law will surprise you
Grocery and convenience stores (Stewart's) sell beer only. Rum, wine, and everything else comes from dedicated liquor stores with their own hours — buy your room-bar bottles Thursday or Friday, not Sunday morning.
Timing your arrival
Late June is the front edge of Lake George high season: Route 9 through the village crawls on summer weekends, and I-87 backs up Friday afternoons. Arrive Thursday if you can.
You can land without a car — barely
Albany (ALB) is about 55 minutes south; Amtrak's Adirondack line stops at Fort Edward–Glens Falls about 20 minutes away. But once you're at the Tiki, everything is walkable — the resort, the dock, the pubs, the ghost of Gaslight Village — so a Thursday-to-Sunday car-free run is genuinely doable.
