    Aulani then DL, or DL then Aulani?

    We did DL after. We are on east coast. For me, it made leaving Hawaii a little easier. And, I liked breaking up the flight on the way home. You are excited on the way TO Hawaii, so that got me through the flight. On the way home, I was more tired. But I am sure you can't lose either way!

    Review of New Year's Dream cruise - spa, New Years activities, etc.

    All of our 18-20s seemed happy. According to my 20 year old there were older people as well (22), but I guess this is allowed since they are adults.

    Review of New Year's Dream cruise - spa, New Years activities, etc.

    The scrubs were part of the length of stay package. You received one per day. It was really just a small plastic bag with some scrub in it. I enjoyed them myself. They may be part of a day pass as well, I didn’t ask. The trophy sundae I believe was $11.95. I’m sure you could order it up to...

    Review of New Year's Dream cruise - spa, New Years activities, etc.

    Returned a couple of days ago and thought I'd post a brief review(turns out it isn't so brief after all!), as I had a hard time finding info on the New Years cruises. Holiday related - For New Years there were fireworks so we had 2 fireworks nights - They had a complimentary champagne and...

    New Years Eve on the Dream and weather this time of year

    I am part of a group of families going on the upcoming New Years, double dip Castaway Cay Dream cruise in a couple of weeks. We have all traveled DCL together several times, but usually in spring. I searched all over and cant find many details about the New Years cruises. Does anyone have any...

    Looking for pool cabana reviews

    I have an all adult, girlfriend trip planned at VGF for Mother's Day weekend. I booked a cabana for my group since it is Mothers Day and I thought it would be a special treat/surprise. I figured it might save us the trouble of trying to find 6 seats together by the pool. We have morning spa...

    VGF Villas & Views - REVISED 07/22/2017

    My first VGF trip is in a few weeks, a Mother's Day weekend trip with friends. I have two questions about the villas and am having trouble finding posts with answers, so I hope it's okay to ask here. 1- I have a 2 BR standard view. On the DVC member site it doesn't say whether it is dedicated...

    Paddlefish empty, no other reservations listed?

    Just an FYI because I know a lot of people want to try Paddlefish. I made a reservation weeks ago and was only offered 3:00 yesterday. I kept trying to move it earlier but couldn't get an earlier time through MDE. When we arrived we were practically the only people there. I mentioned it to our...

    Your Secret Food Tip

    My 10 year old wanted to stay at AK Villas but we went with our home resort (BLT) because we will be there the week before Easter and want the monorail access and MK convenience. So...I booked Sanaa lunch so we could visit the lodge and see the animals as we eat. I split our family of 5 in to...

    Extra Easter things to do?

    I just reserved this and was wondering if it is worth it. I usually feel a brunch buffet is so expensive for what you eat. I would be happy with the quick service, but worry that it will be mobbed at the Contemporary with Easter services. Do you happen to recall if the quick service location...

    Everything about PhotoPass and Memory Maker.

    I think I have this understood correctly, but I want to make sure. I purchased a platinum annual pass and I will activate it when we arrive in April. The rest of my family has regular tickets. We are all linked in MDE. 1- all of our photos, whether the kids are with me or not, will appear in...

    Is it safe to pick up stranded boaters?

    It seems as though there are more and more stories of Disney ships picking up stranded boaters. I don't know how accurate some of the stories are, but it seems to me that this could be very risky. I am not an anxious person at all, but in today's world I would be very concerned about people...

    Starlit

    I believe the dates change month to month. This month it was Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. One day was cancelled while we were there due to rain earlier in the day. It didn't rain too long so I was a little surprised. I guess if the grass is wet it does not make great lawn seating conditions...

    Aulani Villas & Views -- REVISED 07/22/2017

    Yes, one night the kids did watch part of one of the movies. I was surprised how so few people used their balconies. I hardly ever saw anyone sitting out on theirs. I love to sit outside on A balcony with a nice view but I rarely did as well. Too much to do and see!

    Aulani Villas & Views -- REVISED 07/22/2017

    Just back from a stay in room 660. Dedicated ocean view 2 bedroom villa. I had requested highest floor possible but unfortunately got the lowest floor for ocean view. Overall, it was still a decent view of ocean and it was quiet because it overlooked the lawn for the movies/Starlit...

    Aulani. Turtles and seals

    Great pictures! We also saw many turtles on North Shore and the kids swam with them for over 1/2 an hour. A great experience for them. I tried to get members of our party to go to the beach next door to see the monk seal and turtles, but couldn't convince anyone to leave Aulani unless we had...
