Activity/Dining Reservation Timeline - Aulani

[Psymonds]

I've searched and cannot find:

Does someone have a summary of the Dining and Activity reservation timelines at Aulani?

I'm looking specifically at: Luau, Dining, and Pearl Harbor tours.

Thats a hard one. I have a really cool one, but afraid to give it out since they change things so often. Some of the stuff I have is already out of date.

Last I seen Dining was midnight Hawaii time.
Luau was 4-5 months out ( I guess its not set)
Pearl Harbor I am not sure.

yeah, it seems like the Luau is furthest out,

Dining it seems like it's 45 or 60 days, (can't quite tell).

Sorry I forgot to put the timeframe for dining last I checked. We stayed in August. At that time dining was 30 days.

Luau is 6 months, and Pearl Harbor is 55 days. Welcome to the hot mess that is Aulani planning lol.

Neither the luau nor Pearl Harbor are run by Aulani.

Disney fans have this weird notion that "attractions having different booking windows" is somehow uniquely a Disney issue.

I'm finely attuned to this as I do lot of the Scout camping booking. Different federal campsites have different booking windows (some 1 year, some 90 days, some 14 day, a bunch of first come first served, which doesn't work with a group). most California State parks are 6 months to the day rolling window.

And then the regional parks around here open bookings for the the year at 10 am on December 12th, so if you are looking for something cool or hard to get, you just have to know the window.

I'm not surprised that these are all different windows, I just didn't see a summary in the forum for people to use for planning.

On the Aulani app there is a “know before you go” link at the bottom. It has all the dates!

I never said they were. I was just simply saying that planning an Aulani trip is a hot mess of different booking windows for various activities (both Disney and non-Disney) when compared to say a WDW.

While we're here, is it correct that nothing at Aulani recognizes "length of stay" anymore? It's 45 days on a rolling basis for both Makahiki and Aunty's Beach House?

So someone who is at the Marriott has the same window as a paying Aulani guest or DVC member….

 

[VGCgroupie]

Seems so. I will be looking into all the new timelines soon. When I find out I will update. But yes I am pretty sure nothing is length of stay anymore requiring multiple booking attempts scores a multis day vacation.

They do still ask for your resort reservation number when booking Makahiki online, is it possible that they're only allowing resort guests to make dining reservations in the first place?

I found this on the app, if in anyone else is looking for it it's in the rolling bottom window that goes through 3 or 4 things. So just scroll to the bottom and wait.

This is precisely part of why Aulani is just so hard to deal with boookings. None of these list what time bookings open, you have to somewhat rely on reading about when on various planning forums.
