OK, so my wife and I are going to be in Hawaii for a work trip later this month, staying over in Waikiki. I have convinced her we need to drop by Aulani to check it out, in case we are ever able to afford a trip with our kids, as a possible place to stay.
She is not the Disney fan that I am, though she does not dislike Disney. But I need to make sure that in our quick visit that we see enough to convince her to want to come here on our own dime. We will be in long enough for a leisurely walk around the property, and probably to stop in one of the lounges to have a quick drink and maybe a shared appetizer.
I NEED YOUR HELP! I have never been, and need to know what to visit and see to sell her on Aulani! She is inclined to want to save longer and stay at a really nice high-end resort, thinking this will be too much like a WDW resort, with a lot of frenetic energy, noise, etc.
For those who have been, please share your quick tips? A few questions I really want to have locked down before we go;
What is the best lounge for us to visit?
What drinks/appetizers would you recommend we order to share that would really WOW her?
What parts of the resort property should I make sure to have us visit?
What resort amenities/features should I be sure to point out?
What off-site stores/restaurants/facilities in the immediate Aulani area should I point out/visit?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
