Best Photos of Aulani? - The DIS Discussion Forums

jennypenny · 04-26-2012, 01:00 PM

I'm trying to talk my family into Aulani next year. It's a tough sell. Everytime I ask them they point out it's a 14 hour plane ride

Where are the best photos I can show them to help convince them?

Also, does it have a community hall? My kids are older (teens and tween) so I don't mean a kids club, but a community hall.

I'm not sure about the best photos, but yes, there is a community hall - Pau Hana, with games, DVDs, etc. It also has a fabulous interactive digital postcard service. dD1 and I were in stitches yesterday at the video we came up with

There is also a tween / teen spa, and quite a few teen-only activities. I can't give first-hand feedback, though, as DD1 has been happy chilling on her own, or with us.

Have a look at this...

We're breaking up the long flight with a stop at Disneyland!

Have your kids ever been to Hawaii? If not, that is a 'selling' point in itself.

I have couple of thousand photos of the resort from the start of construction through opening here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/frikiti...7622553263846/

This will be our 3rd trip to Hawaii and every time we have broken the flight up with a stop in California. It is worth the couple hundred extra dollars for us.
