Back in February, it was reported that the hit ABC music show would be returning to the idyllic Disney resort in Hawaii for its 20th season.
But, in a surprise end-of-episode teaser on last night’s show, it was revealed that all of the Top 24 contestants would be going on the special trip, for the first time ever!
You can watch the clip of the moment the contestants heard the news below:
As you can see, everyone was overjoyed to be headed to Disney’s Aulani! But, that added bonus of Katy Perry clarifying that the resort was “in Hawaii” was an extra sprinkle of pixie dust on the already-fantastic news!
I’d be jumping around like that if someone surprised me with a trip to Aulani, too!

On their journey to Oahu, each contestant will be under the guidance of the show’s celebrity mentors, and will get the once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform in concert on Aulani Resort’s exclusive beach.
The superstar judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie will all be in attendance, as will host and producer Ryan Seacrest.
But, the surprises didn’t stop there. The lucky singing contestants will also be joined at Aulani by surprise mentors Bebe Rexha and Jimmie Allen!
Hey y’all, Jimmie Allen here. I’ll be a guest mentor on @AmericanIdol for the iconic 20th season! Tune in and catch me at @DisneyAulani . Hope y’all are as pumped as I am for this year’s talent. 🤙🏽#disneyaulani #americanidol pic.twitter.com/N7mbeIIq5n
