    Another WDW trip or Aulani?

    We LOVED Aulani and the entire Island of Oahu. We rented a car and spent the mornings exploring the island and the afternoons at the resort. We often had a big lunch while out and about and ate light at the resort at night. We loved the North Shore, Pearl Harbor, tour of Ioloni Palace, and...

    Received Turn down Service Last Week

    Last week stayed at the Copper Creek Villas in a 1 bedroom. We received turn down service each night! It was a wonderful surprise, as we did not ask for or pay for this. Has this happened to anyone else? Lizzie

    VWL Refurb from Several Years Ago

    Hello All, I am looking for advice from someone that has stayed at the VWL- BRV in the last year. We have not stayed at our beloved VWL in several years. The last time we stayed there was just after the last refurbishment. The cheap / shoddy work was appalling. I know, who cares if the...

    Moonlight Magic tonight - 2/24

    This was by FAR the best event I have been to since joining DVC in 2001. Walked on every ride, the park was empty. I wonder if people signed up and didn't go? The fireworks were the best! My two friends and I did the race earlier in the day and they were blown away by this free event that just...

    What is the best flight plan from New England?

    Former Rhode Islander here and flew from Savannah, GA to HNL over Labor day this year. Our flight was Sav to Chicago to HNL. Flying to the islands was fine. What I would change was the flight home. Left HNL at 3PM, red eye to Chicago but only got 2 hours of sleep before they brought around...

    North Shore: Is this too much in one day?

    In my opinion Waimea Falls is not worth the price of admission. A "hike" on a paved path to an ok waterfall was not worth the price of admission. Have seen better waterfalls for free in both NH and MI. North Shore was wonderful with great food and swimming. MB

    Bicycles at AKV and at WL ?

    My husband and I always bring our bikes when staying at the Wilderness Lodge. Riding from the Lodge and all over the camp ground is often a highlight of our trip. There are two bike racks for personal bikes. They were up the walk way from the bike barn. Our bikes were often the only two bikes...

    First Time at Aulani! For our Honeymoon!

    Aloha, Just got back Sunday 9/11 from 8 nights at Aulani. This was by far one of the best vacations ever. We were there for our 25th anniversary and enjoyed the resort and Oahu in general very much. We rented a car and put more than 600 miles on it. Trips into Honolulu, the North Shore, The...

    Hurricane's Both Ends of our Trip!

    Got home yesterday from a magical trip to Aulani and Oahu. Got out of Savannah the day before the hurricane arrived, and Hurricane Lester never hit the islands. Cam home to a few branches down and a part of our fence leaning over but that was it. Will try to post a trip report this weekend. Lizzie

    How easy is it to navigate from Aulani to some of the tourist spots?

    With Google Maps and a paper map from AAA, we had no trouble last week getting around Oahu. Logged 600 miles on the rental car and still did not see everything we wanted to!

    Hurricane's Both Ends of our Trip!

    Leaving on Friday from Savannah GA, as long as the tropical storm doesn't affect our departure. Hope to get into Oahu before Hurricane Lester hits the islands. Can't believe that hurricanes are lining up at our departure location and our arrival in Hawaii. What are the odds of this happening...

    Drive or Fly to Hilton Head from New England?

    Hello, I am originally from Rhode Island and now live in Savannah, GA, (a half hour from Hilton Head). I have done the drive or flown back and forth to RI over the last 10 years. Sometimes the ride is quick and sometimes we have hit terrible traffic on the 95 corridor. At those times I wish we...

    Has anyone seen the sticks since the ban?

    Was at WDW from 7/1 thru 7/4, saw many sticks being taken at the entrance to the parks. Only saw 1 stick in the parks in front of the Great Movie Ride. A cast member saw it too, quickly told the guest they weren't allowed, and a crew member would take it until the guest left the park. There were...
