We went for a visit from on Sept 20-29 this year. There were a few changes made to the resort since our last visit (when this thread was originally started.) The stingray pool has been removed and a new pool with a grotto and infinity edge has been added. Ulu, a new Quick serve...

Sorry for the delayed response, the Target is near the Costco in Kapolei.

Haven't been back here in quite awhile. Was surprised at the number of views this TR had. Felt like it was my duty to fix all the dead photo links. I linked them to my Facebook account, they had an update which changed all the addresses of them. Hopefully everyone can see all the pictures now.

My husband (Rocky) and I are both registered now for the half and the 5K. We have tried other Disney races but this will be the first time at Wine and Dine. I look forward to following everyone's progress on the board.

I am new to the forum since I just starting thinking about my training for the half. I have not run in a few months. It has been awhile since I was on the forums and I don't know what BWPPI means. Can someone please explain? Thanks, Melody

First - congrats on the weight loss! Way to go! Second -- I have been on one ride at Sea World that I could not fit. However, it was not the waist/hip size. it was more my chest/waist size. I don't remember the name, but the closing bar came down from the top. (it was a ride where your...

Hi, I read that the spa at Grand Floridian is currently closed. (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/recreation/spas/) I wasn't sure where to post this thread -- but I would like your input or suggestions for which location I should schedule a "spa day". I will be going to Florida for the...

When we were at the Tinkerbell a few weeks ago, I saw the medal and I want one. Not this year (it's booked up) so probably next year. Google "Everest 5K race report" and you can read about other's experiences doing the race.

Typically our flights arrive late into MCO. To the point where we've never had them pick up our bags for the DME. By the time we get to resort, everything is closed. Last time at AKV, I asked the desk and they gave me a list of phone numbers of pizza places that deliver. I meet them at the...

We were there right after Thanksgiving. The snorkeling trip we took said that it was their last snuba trip. They said that the winds and waves can be unpredictable later on. It was nice and sunny at Aulani, but when we went to the windward side of the island, it was rainy. We did rent a...

I'm 9984 -- can't wait. :yay:

IMO I'd just rent a car. Depending on how many are in your party, it will probably be cheaper. Our rental was ~$250 for an entire week, we are going to Disneyland this week and the car is that much for 4 days. They do have transportation available, but I think they pick up in Honolulu or...

Thanks! I started with this page: http://aulaniexcursions.resorts.disney.go.com Then I opened the page for the tour I was interested in. If you look at the bottom, it says "Operated by Pleasant Activities". Then I went to their page: http://pleasantactivities.com/hawaii.cfm...

If you're interested in trying some new and different food, try the Hawaii Food Tour. http://www.hawaiifoodtours.com/hitw.html We went and had a great time. They took us to some of the places I posted about earlier. Unfortunately, they don't pick up at Aulani so you have to drive Ala Mona...

I have a TR posted: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2842751 Lots of pics, but not so much of the resort, I think others have that covered.

We did the "Full Day Adventure" which includes 4 tours. There was a gap so we paid for an extra one ala carte. We did the: Jungle tour: I liked the Jungle tour, but my wife didn't. I sat shotgun so I was able to see everything, I think that may be why there was a big difference in...

On our first (so far only) visit we sampled several places around the island for some local flavor. Here are just a few places we went to. Koa Pancake house near Aulani for inexpensive breakfast: Matsumoto's on the Northshore for Shave Ice: Helena's for some real Hawaiian food...

When we went, I rented from Alamo. I typically rent from them (they seem to be cheaper than the others) so I signed up for their "insiders" club. For Sun-Sat rental for a compact it was $230, about the same price as Fri-Mon rental in Vegas 2 months earlier. I rented a compact, but ended up...

Put our Hawaiian gift baskets together. Stuff we picked up from various locations. Hopefully I can get them sent out today. Clockwise from Left Hurricane Popcorn Pink Sea Salt SPAM flavored macadamia nuts Hawaiian coffee (Don't know if it's Kona) Li Hing powder (dried plum) Kona Coffee...

We'll have to try Genki Sushi next time. I intentionally left things out this time so that we'd have new things to see next time. I saw it when I bought hurricane popcorn kits at Price Buster's.
