Aulani at Christmas - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

We are here now and have no idea there is construction going on. There are some construction walls up at the back of the pool area as you go down to the beach, but not bad at all. Today they decorated for Christmas!! Workers must have been decorating all night because when we were up at 8a.m. a lot of the decorating was completed already. The resort is wonderful and now with the Christmas decorations it is just that much more beautiful!!

Disneymom-So glad to hear about the construction. Is there only one pool open at this time? I know Aulani is at capacity Christmas week, and I'm guessing the pool will be super crowded. Hope you are having a great time-give us a preview of what to expect.

Is anyone planning to decorate their room at Aulani for Christmas? If so, please share your ideas. I would like to do something, but won’t have much room in my suitcase.

We are going to purchase some items when we get there. Probably a small table top sized tree, some decorations and lights. There is a target close by I believe and we'll have a car so it's part of our "vacation investment" to make it feel more like Christmas even though we are in paradise and not gloomy PA.

Cabanas are booked every day we are at Aulani.

Anyone else planning to be there at Christmas? Close enough to do on-line check in tomorrow...can't wait.

There is a HUGE target close by (very very close to the costco). We were there last year at Xmas time and it had the usual Xmas stuff. That was our first stop after checking in. it was a bit pricier than our home Target. Have fun.

Thank you for that confirmation. I think this will be our first stop too! Perhaps even before we check in since we'll be coming from Waikiki.
