    I'm in LOVE with Aulani

    LOL, I don't want to disagree but if you didn't eat at the Makihiki why bother discouraging people from eating there? I guess I think it's unfair to say something's overpriced if you've never actually purchased it and experienced it. For what it's worth, we are DVC owners at Aulani and ate at...

    Photopass

    We had 8 in our group a few years ago and we added several cards. Was a pretty smooth process. We were there for 10 days and had over 400 photo pass photos taken! Not bad for 99 dollars!

    If you want to stay someone other than your home resort...

    I would buy at a resort where you'd be happy if it was your only option. That being said, it is wonderful to stay at the other DVC resorts and try as many of them out as you can! We bought Aulani when we lived in California and was looking to use it as an every other year stay in Hawaii...

    I'm glad you guys are enjoying! I will be posting more pictures later today! One thing that helped me personally take a lot of photos was the waterproof cases I got for my iPhone 5. I put my iPhone 5 in a LifeProof waterproof case which I bought at the Aloha Swap meet for $50.00 (it retails...

    Dumb Question About Postings Rental Lessons Learned

    I've never rented or plan to rent but it is disconcerting that names are allowed for positive experiences but not negative experiences. :-/ I guess I have read a couple stories about scammers on the rental side of things and the lack of knowledge of who they might be would make me want to stay...

    The person that never wanted to go to Hawaii - Aulani - 2/10-2/17/13

    I echo much of your feelings. Although, since we had kids, many of the kids oriented things were good for us. We only took the train ride at the Dole Plantation and felt that was enough. We also felt that in the end, it was mostly just a tourist trap. We were happy to see it once and likely will...

    Aulani TR - AKA - BEST VACATION EVER - 2/8 to 2/18 - UPDATED WITH MORE PICS!

    Day 2 We awoke early on Day 2 and realized it wasn't a dream. We really were at Aulani! Now, I know many people go for the ocean view or the pool and garden view, etc. We were happy with the standard view on the 7th floor. We were able to watch this beautiful sunrise over the island every...

    Aulani TR - AKA - BEST VACATION EVER - 2/8 to 2/18 - UPDATED WITH MORE PICS!

    Day 1 Our plane landed in Honolulu with no excitement. While I did half expect to wake up and find myself on a beach and having to set up camp to protect family from "The Others" and a smoke monster, it didn't happen and we had a peaceful landing. The kids were excited to be off the plane...

    Aulani TR - AKA - BEST VACATION EVER - 2/8 to 2/18 - UPDATED WITH MORE PICS!

    Hey Everyone! This whole journey started way back in November of 2011. During a holiday trip to Disneyland we spoke with one of the guides and bought into DVC for Aulani. We are a Disney family and have been considering DVC for a long time and finally decided to pull the trigger. The...

    Whose going to Aulani soon? I need a favor, please.

    Maybe I was looking in the wrong spot or was bleary eyed from the tears from having to go home. :( My wife looked too and couldn't find any special Aulani gift cards. We should have asked someone. One thing I can say for certain though...AULANI IS AMAZING!!!

    Aulani - is it really that great

    It is amazing. We just got back from a 10 day trip to Aulani and while we did do some island exploring, we really never wanted to leave the resort. They had so many free activities for the family that it really added a lot of value to the stay. I can honestly say this has been my most relaxing...
