    Did Aulani Blow You Away?

    I haven’t found much traffic, it’s the long drive from Aulani I don’t like. I don’t think it’s overly crowded either. But I’m from LA and enjoy city travel. I think the beach in Waikiki is pretty awesome and much better than the beach at Aulani. But I am from SoCal and I like waves at my...

    Did Aulani Blow You Away?

    If I am staying in Waikiki, I don’t have to drive to Waikiki. I can just walk out my door. Aulani is a great resort built on the wrong side of the island.

    Anyone bring a portable safe for the pool or beach?

    Bring your magic band and leave your wallet in your room safe. You can charge to your room with it and it’s also your room key.

    Did Aulani Blow You Away?

    We are here now, and I can say I am definitely not blown away. It’s a great resort and it’s well run, much better than the Florida resorts. However, it’s too far away from where I prefer to be, which is Waikiki. I’m glad we tried it, but I doubt we will be back. There is not much here for...

    The Official Aulani Packing List Thread

    Some airlines are just starting to come out with Bluetooth enabled IFE. Most airlines and airplanes do not have them yet. You can purchase an adapter to plug in In to the headphone jack, but I have no experience with those. They run about 40 bucks on Amazon.

    Rental cars?

    I’ve thought about Turo, but the concern I have with Turo is the fact that if the car breaks down or is in an accident, where can you get a replacement? Does Turo provide for that? If my Alamo car has trouble, I can just switch it for a different one. Can I do that with Turo? I’ve had...

    Rental cars?

    Digital Member card for spouse

    I am glad the card is now digital and I will no longer have to carry an extra card in my wallet. I take my phone everywhere, always have. I use it to take photos in addition to lots of other things. Glad to know I can also get the discount with my Apple Watch as well. I don’t understand a...

    Here at Aulani now….

    The kids clubs I was referring to are the babysitting clubs like Sandcastle Club, Neverland Club, Cub’s Den, Pinocchio’s Workshop, etc. Those were similar to what Aunty’s is. The pool activities and community hall activities are different.

    Here at Aulani now….

    I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised if this one never reopened since they seem to have gotten out of the kids club business.

    Here at Aulani now….

    Aren‘t all of the kids clubs shut down at Disneyworld and Disneyland? I believe That happened pre-Covid. It makes sense that this one would close too.

    OKW room request

    We usually book HH area since that became a category. But we have stayed in every corner of OKW over the years and have enjoyed them all.

    Help planning first trip to Aulani

    There are plenty of hotels on Century Blvd near LAX and all have free shuttle service to and from the airport if you decide that route. There are lots of decent chain hotels near Disneyland and there is also a frequent shuttle system throughout the resort area called ART (Anaheim resort...

    Regrets?

    Bought OKW in 2000 and haven’t regretted it once, even though we haven’t used it at WDW for years.

    Myself and children have covid

    That’s great that they were able to help you out. I wish him best of luck with his cardioversion. I was also back in Afib a couple weeks ago and while I was laying on the table for my cardioversion, the ekg came back normal and I did not need the procedure after all. Yeah it was tough...

    Is the Magic Over??

    We have never bought into the so called “magic” that WDW wants you to believe in, but we have felt that WDW is changing for the worse starting a few years ago. Our WDW trips in the 90‘s and early 2000’s with our kids made for some great stress free vacations. We wouldn’t be able to afford...

    Toddler sleeping arrangements in 1 bedroom

    Ours always slept on the pullouts in the living room. They slept in their own room at home, so we never thought twice about it while on vacation either.

    Aulani, best resort for sleep around points?

    Been a DVC owner for 20+ years and have never booked anything until 7 months out. We’ve stayed at every DVC resort there is. Some of them took a little work to piece together our stay, but that’s part of the fun. We don’t travel in the Fall though since we are both teachers. we have traveled...
