    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Thanks for the update to my question! Frustrating that the timeline for this is still not known. We check-in on Friday for a 3 night stay. Would be nice if the poster is available. Hopefully since it is now mentioned in the magazine that means they will be giving them out soon.

    Grand Californian Super Thread

    Question for those who have stayed recently - have you received a free poster during your stay? I’m asking because Bret Iwan said at the PNWMM (Disney fan convention held in July in Washington state) that guest of GCH would receive his new National Park series poster with Mickey during a stay at...

    Unused Military Salute tickets that will expire?

    You pose an interesting alternative. Your mom will definitely be able to activate the tickets with her military ID. I do it all the time without my husband who is the veteran. I honestly don’t know if your Mom could activate everyone else’s ticket without scanning hers but I’m doubtful because...

    Self Inflating Mat for Fantasmic ?

    A few months ago, I saw this style recommended Klymit V Seat, Lightweight Inflatable Travel Cushion, Best for Camping, Bleachers, or Glassing Pad , Gray https://a.co/d/8eObFJK I haven’t purchased it yet because I’m waiting to see which Fantasmic Dining package I end up with. This one appeals to...

    Does the blue bayou fantasmic package booking exsist..

    Good point. And I agree, incompetence is probably what is happening here.

    Does the blue bayou fantasmic package booking exsist..

    I suspect we will never know, but I'm leaning toward Disney IT being Disney IT. But IF Disney wanted to mess with notification services, what does Disney gain by doing that? I think it works better for them to have all dining slots filled. Especially for dining packages because it doesn't really...

    The Oogie Boogie Bash 2022 Thread (ALL DATES SOLD OUT)

    I am also curious about using the GCH entrance with our party tickets. Does anyone know if you can enter DCA through the GCH entrance using party tickets and not regular park tickets? We plan on taking it easy that day and enjoying the hotel before going to the party. This will save me from...

    That's the date I bought for as well! Been to DL lots of times but never to one of the Halloween parties. So excited.

    Refillable mug?

    All 3 freestyle locations are open - Ulu, Lava Hut, and by Ama Ama. Not sure about the chipped question. Is there a way to tell looking at the cup?

    Refillable mug?

    I would say, as with most conveniences we spend money on, it depends on you and how you might use it. For me, it’s more than the soda, it’s a souvenir for me and I use them when I get home. I have one from all the Disney hotels we have stayed at. I’m actually finding the Aulani one more...

    Scheduling Portrait session

    Since we are speaking of time differences, just a reminder that Hawaii (and Arizona) do not participate in Daylight Savings. So after next Sunday, add an additional hour to your time difference from Hawaii. During Standard time, Hawaii is 5 hrs behind Eastern time (1 PM Eastern time is 8 AM in...

    Scheduling Portrait session

    I booked a 20 minute sunset photo session yesterday for April 8th, which was 39 days in advance. This is my first visit to Hawaii and Aulani, so I can’t speak to whether availability like this is normal. When I was making the reservation she did say that April 8th was the day with the most...

    Room recommendations for standard room?

    I am interpreting the OP's question is for a standard hotel room, not DVC. We will be going for the first time in April, so I am not able to provide any details. I am interested though to see what others have to say because we will also be in one of the hotel rooms.

    Booster now required to be fully vaccinated

    I received the same email from Aulani.

    Booster now required to be fully vaccinated

    Thanks for the additional info. I definitely interpreted it as the official announcement that all of Hawaii would be requiring the booster. The morning national news shows were also making it sound like all of Hawaii had transitioned to this requirement.

    Animal encounter excursions (turtle vs dolphin) without snorkeling

    We will be on Oahu the first week of April and staying at Aulani, I am in the process of researching various activities. My DS (12 yrs old) would like to do something related to animals but he is not keen on trying snorkeling. I've been reading about Laniakea Beach (Turtle Beach) in North Shore...
