We just returned from five nights in a two bedroom suite at Aulani, following three nights in Waikiki. Aulani is beautiful, and has all the detail and care you would expect of a Disney resort. There are a few things it may help to know in advance: The room (suite) was amazing - large and with...

Any tips? We are going tomorrow after a Pearl Harbor tour, should get there by around noon. We will be able to park? Are there fun food options for lunch? I think we are mostly looking for jewelry and souvenirs for friends, and to see overall what it is like. Your thoughts are welcome (and...

We had a great dinner tonight at Monkeypod. What are some other recs for dinner or lunch (other than at Aulani itself)?

We've heard all about the amazing malasadas from Leonard's - is there a place to get them near Aulani? Are they sort of everywhere, or just at that one bakery? Any recs for sweets near Aulani would be welcome!

Hi! Can anyone tell me if we need water shoes for the beach at Aulani - is it rocky? What about the nearby beach where turtles can be found? And if anyone can link me to the directions for how to walk to the turtle beach from Aulani I'd be grateful. We're going next week and I can't wait!!

So I've heard a lot about how rental cars often get broken into in Hawaii. Has anyone found this to be a real concern? What about when we are moving from one hotel to another, and have all of our luggage in the car? Is that a no-no? It's making my planning a little crazy logistics-wise...

How crowded/crazy are the pool and beach areas at Aulani? Can you go down in the afternoon and find a chair, or is it the kind of thing where people reserve seats with towel clips from early on in the morning? Will I see a lot of clips (should I bring my own)? What's the vibe like later in...

We'd like to have a nice dinner out in Waikiki to celebrate an anniversary - any recommendations? I've heard that Duke's and House Without a Key are both good, on the water, with lots of great atmosphere - we're looking for that more than a stuffy/elegant place. And if you've been to both...

What's the beach like at Aulani? Is the sand rocky- do you need water shoes? Are the lounge chairs you see in the pictures available for free, or do you need to rent them? Any fish to be seen? Can you hear music playing? Is it a restful place, or more lively? Many thanks.

Any really good/special experience restaurants to recommend on Oahu? We're interested both in those near Aulani and elsewhere as we travel around the island. My kids are 18 and 20, so we are up for anything. Thanks!

I've seen several people write that there isn't much to do at Aulani in the evening. We are traveling with our two daughters (18 and 20) - are there any bars/restaurants with music at night, either at Aulani or nearby? Any other suggestions? Or will we be so tired from jet lag (coming from...

Similar to my last question - has anyone been to the Fia Fia Luau and can compare it to the Aulani one? If we are only going to one, I'd like to find the most authentic experience. We do love all things Disney, though, so if the Disney luau is particularly special we'd spring for that one...

Hi- what's the difference between these two shows? Are there things you liked better/worse? Does the Aulani one feature any Disney aspects? Food/drink differences? We have two adults and two adult kids, and aren't big drinkers; we don't mind a buffet line. Trying to figure out which show we...

We're stopping at Mykonos on a cruise this summer and I was wondering if people had any suggestions for a do it yourself day. We enjoy exploring little towns, but our teens are also interested in checking out a beach. Is it possible to do both? With public transportation or just walking? All...

We have been very happy with Disney but are considering Princess for a cruise next summer (only because Disney doesn't go where we want when we need to go). Our kids are teens now, so don't need the kids clubs, but we do all love the Disney magic. If anyone has been on Princess as well as...

We love decorating our doors on our Disney cruises. My mom and sister are going on a Princess cruise, and I wondered if any of you Disney cruisers (who understand door decorating) could comment on whether it would be okay to make them some door decorations, or whether non-Disney folks would...

Has anyone ever used this tour company or know anything about it? I'm trying to decide whether to do a 3 night ABD in Barcelona next summer, or a 7 night Madrid/Toledo/Barcelona tour with Kensington for the same price. Obviously Disney would be "nicer" but how much nicer is the question...

Do the MDR's on the new ships serve basically the same food as the ones on the classic ships (for example, in each Animator's Palette), or do the new ships have different menus?

Does any one have a recommendation for pre-cruise hotels in the Med, in Barcelona? There are so many to choose from. I'd like something within walking distance to the center of town/main sights. Many thanks.
