    Mini Trip Report - Aulani Nov 2017

    We just got back from a short staycation at Aulani over Thanksgiving weekend. We had a pool view DVC studio that we booked on one of the DVC rental sites back in August. THE GOOD! +Our room was ready when we got there a little after 9am! What a nice surprise! I had everyone already in swim...

    Trip length - splitting hotels

    We visited Oahu a few years ago and split our time between Aulani for 6 nights and the Hilton Hawaiian Village for 6 nights. I would save your sightseeing for the Waikiki time, since you'd mostly be opposite the traffic. Aulani is so much more expensive than Waikiki, I hated leaving the...

    (2014-2020) Disney's GRAND FLORIDIAN RESORT & SPA + VILLAS Information & Questions

    We stayed at SL a few years ago and requested a "quiet room" (I always make that request). We were on the top floor at the very end of the hall nearest the main bldg with a pool view. It was very quiet, even when the Courtyard Pool games were going on during the day. Hope that helps!

    Bus driver drops Tower of Terror bombshell?

    I would really hate to see both U.S. ToTs changed for such a new movie. I don't think all these new-ish overlays are going to age very well. I understand trying to keep current, but not at the expense of older, beloved attractions. Although, I would love to see a Tron ride somewhere at WDW...

    Standard vs. Garden vs. Ocean View

    We had a standard view and it was still very lush and pretty. We overlooked the walkway from the lobby to the parking garage on the 5th floor (I think, we were pretty low). It wasn't noisy and we were near the stairwell, which meant we could pop in and out from the lobby and from the parking...

    Aulani: What's the One Thing You Wish You Knew?

    papertraveller, we just got back from Oahu and did surf lessons through West Oahu SUP. They are very convenient to Aulani, just up the road in Waianae. I cannot recommend them enough. They were absolutely wonderful and so kind to our kids. My ds said it was the "best day of his life"...

    Aulani-order from home and pick up in store at Target Kapolei-has any one done this?

    I think it depends on what you're ordering. If it's just groceries, I wouldn't worry about it. If it's something else, you might try Amazon instead. We are going to Aulani in two weeks and I am just shipping items from Amazon (and also sending a box from myself). Once it ships, it takes...

    Parking at Aulani when renting points

    We are staying at Aulani in July by renting a confirmed reservation from an existing DVC member. We are not DVC members. Will we have to pay to park at Aulani or not? I tried searching for an answer, but couldn't find what I was looking for. We will be staying at Aulani for part of our trip...

    Universal Osaka anyone?

    Osaka is wonderful! You're in for a treat. If you can go to the park during the week, you'll have a better time and it'll be less crowded. March is the end of the Japanese school year, so it might be more crowded in general with kids not in school. I think they go back to school the first...

    Best chance at getting Porto Paradiso at Mira Costa?

    We are planning a Tokyo Disney trip for Spring Break 2016. We want to stay at the Mira Costa on the Porto Paradiso side. I know this is going to be very pricey, but it's a once in a lifetime moment for us and we are willing to cough it up. I have been playing around with the online...

    We are going to HKDL the first week of April. We are planning on two park days, since we have a baby with us and don't want to be rushed. We are staying Kingdom Club at DL hotel (very excited about that). Few questions: 1) What types of food at Kingdom Club? We currently live in Japan, so we...

    Beach Club or Boardwalk for my 35th Birthday

    I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Epcot Resorts, but I like YC/BC the best. We just stayed at BWI in June after having stayed at YC and BC on previous trips. I just didn't like the layout as well. It felt like a trek every time we left the building. All the up and down stairs to...
