    View of the Starlit Hui from our rooms?

    We requested "Ewa long wing 1 Bdrm Villa Island Garden highest floor lawn overlooking Starlit Hui lawn" and had the request noted on our reservation. We got a fifteenth floor room almost dead center forward of the show, and saw and heard it all clearly.

    Aulani cabana check out day

    We just returned this week from Aulani, and were surprised by the crowds! Even so, we felt a Cabana was not necessary: we always found chairs at the pools and beach. Most Cabanas were empty! We had a 4:30pm flight. The day before checkout we were granted a late check out at noon. We also used...

    Some Ohau Questions going this Sat. :)

    An interesting question that got me wondering, because we too are visiting this Summer. I found this interactive crime map from Honolulu police: it shows mostly car break-ins and cash thefts. If you know the address of your Target store, you can zoom in there and see what crimes have taken...

    Would you drive or take boat to Fort Wilderness for HDDR?

    Our understanding is that parking is near the entry gate at FW, then a shuttle to HDDR. We have always taken the boat from WL, and found it very quick and convenient.

    Laundry facilities @ POR vs WL

    We have used the WL Laundry facilities many times, with no troubles. We try to do Laundry at times when most guests would be visiting parks, and we hangout at the Pool in between loads. But we really enjoy accommodations that have a washer/ dryer in the unit: pure luxury by our standards!

    I think it may be time to say goodbye to Disney

    After fifteen straight years of WDW vacations, we too have taken a break from the magic for a few years. This year we did a grand tour of the Southwest: our best summer vacation ever! Next year it is Hawaii. Then we may return to WDW for a fresh look at an old favorite. I imagine it may seem...

    Water parks - which day?

    Weekends are busiest. Early part of the week or slower for the Water Parks, because most people visit the Parks as soon as they arrive. But October is not crowded, and check the weather for the warmest sunny day. And arrive at your Water Park early!

    Aulani for Non-DVC

    Aloha DVS members and friends, We are looking forward to visiting Aulani XXXX (details removed) and are interested in a XXXX (details removed). Central Reservations are no help in answering questions about how and when Villas might be available to non-DVC quests. Hopefully you can be...

    Ethical dilemma

    Honesty is the best policy, and try to avoid inflammatory language: be matter of fact, and don't make it personal. You can also mention that Disney is cracking down on GAC usage abuse, and you would not want them to get into trouble.

    Matching Shirts: lame or cute?

    From a practical standpoint, matching shirts has made it easy to find our group in a large crowd. Plus it is fun to design and make them!

    Question of when to go in 2014?!

    I was going to say the exact same thing! We are waiting until 2015 for this reason. Maybe Harry Potter extension will be done by then too?

    Blizzard beach/Typhoon lagoon in the same day?

    Do you plan to visit WDW again some future date? I ask because I would probably go to only one Water Park per day. Enjoy them in a leisurely relaxed fashion. Otherwise, you may spend three hours at one, pack up and travel time another hour, then the second Park for three hours?

    I am undecided...Android or iphone?

    I do not know about the Andriod. But I am disappointed by my iPhone 4S, after switching from the worst smartphone Blackberry. Apple has good marketing, but not does not live up to its marketing promise. If your expectation is for software that works across platform and apps that continue to work...

    airline prices keep going up

    We try to purchase flights as early as they are released. But recent studies http://business.time.com/2012/01/24/study-the-best-time-to-buy-cheap-airline-tickets-is-6-weeks-before-a-flight/ have suggested buying 6-8 weeks in advance. We can't wait that long, and it seems a great risk.
