    Latest times offered for Advanced Das

    We were REALLY late requesting advance times. That being said, we did get a return time for Haunted Mansion from 9-10 PM.

    Which resort is a never or never again for you?

    Beach Club! I would even take values over it. Too expensive and really not a fan of the pool. Plus the last time we were there, they were doing construction super early in the morning and it woke us all up! For the cost of their rooms, they could have afforded to block a few!

    Harder to add people or to consolidate times?

    Definitely #2. That being said, I have a trip coming up that I made ressies for parties of 6, 7, and 8 for (depending on who was with us that day) and I didn't have trouble at the very beginning (when it was 60+). Now, of course I cannot find anything for a party that large (thank you SO much to...

    MK Fireworks Dessert Party or Rose and Crown Fireworks dinner

    Does anyone know if they were offering the Rose and Crown Dinner for this coming week? Not hoping for a ressie at this point, but interested for planning purposes.

    Separating Managed Member of Party

    So I have always managed my family. However, for this upcoming trip, I want to be able to have some of my kids manage themselves since they are going with a school group. I know better than to create a whole new person for them, but is there a way they can set up their own MDE?

    Capacity at Restaurants

    I haven't been to Disney since before Covid and was wondering if the restaurants are using the same seating capacity as prior to Covid, since it seems more difficult to get a reservation for anything. Could be that we are planning now at 60 days versus 6 months, but just wondering if this could...

    Masking

    Earlier today I read about Universal changing their masking policy. Do we expect Disney to do the same, and if so, when would you speculate? No debates about current policy, but I have interest in knowing if this policy may change before spring break.

    Meal Vouchers

    Hi! My daughter might finally get to perform with her school band at Disney next spring (its already been postponed 2 years because of Covid). It says that she will receive meal vouchers for lunchs and some dinners in the parks, with a stated value of $18.00. Does anyone know how these work? Are...

    Anybody ever been on volcano helicopter tour out of Hilo? Love it? Hate it?

    I did it in 2016, before the big eruption. We went with Blue Hawaiian (https://www.bluehawaiian.com/en/bigisland/tours). I think we must have done their Big Island Spectacular, because the price on that trip looks more familiar. It was well worth it for us. We were able to see the lava lake at...

    Aulani Post Covid Reopen ~ Fell Below Expectations This Time...

    That's why I didn't make assumptions when I was at Aulani.

    Aulani Post Covid Reopen ~ Fell Below Expectations This Time...

    Thing is that you don't know what you don't know. I have come out of a massage before and have been in pain from the amount of pressure used, but felt tremendous a day or two after because it really alleviated the pain I was having prior to the massage. However, I trusted the person I was seeing...

    Scuba near Aulani

    We got certified last month with Hawaiian Diving Adventures (http://hawaiiandiving.com/). They are in Honolulu though. They were the best company for quick replies and immediate communication out of all of the companies we contacted. They were willing to answer any questions we had and didn't...

    Aulani Post Covid Reopen ~ Fell Below Expectations This Time...

    I wasn't told anything of the sort before my massage. I didn't have a lot of experience with spas (still don't), and this was supposed to be a treat for my husband and I. Thought it would be nice for our "once in a lifetime" trip. So, not totally my fault. It is something that I tried once, that...

    Aulani Post Covid Reopen ~ Fell Below Expectations This Time...

    I guess I thought it would be relaxing but instead I felt we paid a lot for just fluff. For instance, if I'm going to get a massage, I want to really be worked in the massage and feel like my muscles have been relaxed. I didn't get anything close to that there. Sure, the hydrotherapy garden was...

    Aulani Post Covid Reopen ~ Fell Below Expectations This Time...

    We did not have problems with the appearance of our room. The only room issue we had was that the air didn't seem to be working properly (and the only solution they had was to keep the outside door closed, which we already were). I agree that the check in line is terrible. Then they wanted ALL...

    Just Checked Into Aulani!

    They worked for us when we were there at the end of March into April. As Paul mentioned, no one really uses them (didn't see anyone with them besides us!), no one talks about them, and they don't sell them. Also agree that many CMs don't know that they are even usable there- you have to educate...

    What is the "right" age for a one-time trip?

    I find that the bigger adjustment is coming back, not going there since they are behind us. Plus, everything seems to start early in HI and end early. A lot of water activities start as early as 7, wanting you to be there at 6:30. Most activites do not have an evening time (you can't go...

    #1 must do while visiting Aulani/Oahu

    I think I have to go with the Arizona for the #1. The #2 would have to be the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet. #3 would be Hawaiian Shave Ice. Now if you're just looking for other things to do, the following are things my family has done (most of which we'd do again). I was very happy with my...

    Just Checked Into Aulani!

    3. YES! Definitely the easiest way out. 5. We were able to use our magic bands for everything when we were there March 25 through April 3. Room, Ulu, Oleo Room, towels, etc. 7. Same for the 2 bedrooms. 10. Definitely agree! We took family surf lessons on the North Shore once. This last trip...

    Walgreens testing for Hawaii travel

    It didn't give me the option to click a box for "travel." I did click the box for "community spread" as that was true as well as being around people who are sick (unsure, as this is allergy season here and literally everyone here has allergies and some allergy symptoms are the same as Covid)...
