Anyone stayed at Aulani

[minnie4me]

I am dying to hear about the resort from someone who has stayed. I know it has just opened, but wondered if it is as magical as it is advertised to be.
Thinking of a trip early next June, definitely want to go to Hawaii, need to decide if this is the place to stay.
