    Step 6: The Year of Favorite Weeks—Guaranteed Winter Elegance at The Grand Floridian!

    Just as I was closing on my VDH contracts, fate—or should I say, extreme add-on-itis—intervened. I stumbled upon a 477-point FW52 subsidized Aulani contract that had languished on the resale market. After geeking out on favorite weeks (FW) in the DisBoards forums, I snapped it up for a price...

    Aulani for a 3 year old?

    Hello! We are considering a trip to Aulani with our 3 year old. He'll be about 3.5 at the time of the trip and LOVES water!
