    Moving to Orlando- I'm almost there! Update 1/4 Arrival

    We will be empty nesters soon and we have decided that we want to live near Mickey. When we tell friends and family they think we are nuts. I do not see WDW as a theme park it is an escape and a happy place. When my husband I took our kids< our dream is to work on Main street USA. We will be...

    Flight frustration...HELP

    You will definitely be exhausted. Coming from east coast, a late arrival - I am betting you will just want to be done with transportation. Aulani is a good car ride from the airport - 20-30 minutes?? I would recommend to spend the night in Waikiki, especially since it will be dark. We stay at...

    Adult Only Entertainment

    We have found that the adult shows are more content. Mike Super was great in the adult show and there was some jokes and laughs that were geared towards an adult audience. Nothing bad just something my 10 year old would be "I don't get it' about.

    Aulani & HHI for Tween boys?

    We had three boys ages 14,14,12 and a 9 year old girl. This was 2 families at Aulani in October. The kids stayed busy. The resort was very vacant (great time to go) and they ran ALL DAY LONG. They were in the lazy river, slides and doing the Auntie Scavenger Hunt. They stayed in the resort...

    Aulani Luana lounge new rules

    We were there in October and the resort was not busy. On the day we left we took all of our luggage to the rental car. We were in the pool all day, then went to the lounge. There was one guy napping on one couch and kids playing on the other. (His I am assuming)We were a party of 8. We went...

    Nightlife on The Dream

    We loved Evolution. It would have the entertainers there (Mike Super did an adult only show) and they would have theme nights - so much fun! The club host (wish I could remember his name) kept it fun and encouraged dancing and letting loose! :cool1: It is so uncharacteristic of us to go...

    Pre Aulani hotel

    We stayed at HHV (Hilton Hawaiian Village) in October. It was our second time there. We love it there. There is plenty to do several pools, water slides, lagoon and beach access. They have koi, penguins, flamingos, parrots, etc. Plus tons of shops to walk around. It really is nice. Very large...

    Semi Off-topic Aulani

    We did the Diamond Head hike before we headed to Aulani. If you have never done that before it took about an hour to hike (we hung out and gawked at the views for awhile). You could do that then drive around the island before ending up at Aulani. We spent some time in Waikiki (3 days) before...

    Flights from Hawaii to Home

    The lounge is awesome! We checked out, put suitcases in the rental car and enjoyed the resort. We were able to shower, check flight times and repack suitcases. There are shampoos/conditioner/blow dryers/towels. It is a perfect set up! No need to kill time before heading to the airport.

    Aulani Construction Update

    We were there last week, I didn't take any photos. There were three tucked back in the adult area, 3 near the grotto pool (next to the bathrooms) and we saw 2 over by the childrens play area. All were away from foot traffic and very private (even the one in the childrens play area seemed set back.

    We were at Aulani last week and went to the Pizza Corner across the street twice. It is a quick walk to the corner and across the street. We loved it! It was very reasonable a large (8 big slices) of a specialty pizza for $24. Also, it is BYOB, we brought a cooler with 2 beers (for my hubby...

    Help! My Shutters Photo CD is missing a priceless picture!

    I had a similar experience - my CD broke (not sure if it was broken when I got it or if it got broke in transit on my way home). I immediately got on here and was encouraged to call Shutters. They sent me a new CD but one image was missing, I described it and they emailed it to me. They were...

    My Aulani thought for Oct 2013

    We arrived on Tuesday afternoon, that evening in our room we received a note saying that there would be filming in the new area (grotto, keiki cove). So those areas were closed Wed/Thursday. On Friday we got to enjoy the Grotto pool - loved that!!! The infinity edge is awesome. Also - if you put...

    My Aulani thought for Oct 2013

    The food at ulu was good. We had breakfast there each morning. Never had lunch there. Had that at Mama's shack. Had dinner there tonight an it was a variety of Hawaiian type meals (Kali's pork sandwiches and pizza, etc) No burgers ( my son was shocked).

    My Aulani thought for Oct 2013

    Weather was amazing. Adult pool is quiet Ulu cafe is handy Giovanni's (as recommended on this board) is highly overrated. Starlit hui is awesome They don't allow saved seats. One hour max and this was enforced at pools. Need more than 4 days. Loved the Hawaiian culture in everything...

    How often to you and your kids take dramamine?

    Here are my two cents - take it so you aren't miserable. I took it twice a day. Once in the AM around 9 or 10 and then once after dinner. I never had an issue. I didn;t care to "see if it would get that bad". I wanted to enjoy the cruise and not be miserable. I can't even ride in the back...
