Aulani Activity/ADR Booking Window/Time

[ahhhshmatthew]

Hi All --

Heading to Aulani for the first time this July. Quick questions --

1. Once a booking window opens up (say, 90 days ahead for Aunty's or Cabana, or 30 days for ADRs), what time can I start calling/booking on-line? I am located in the PST.
2. Are the above booking windows based on a day-to-day basis (similar to booking Disneyland ADRs where you have to book each day of your trip) or can I book things commencing on the first day of our stay (similar to WDW ADRs, etc.)?

Thanks everyone.

I also have no experience, but just recently did a few of these things.

1) Cabanas/casabellas - 90 days from the first day of your reservation starting at midnight Hawaii time.

2) Dining - 30 days from the day of the desired reservation (not the first day of you reservation), also starting at midnight Hawaii time.

Can't help with the rest, although many of the other activities are bookable 30 days out.

Believe the Luau can be booked up to 4 months out. Got our reservations earlier for that.
The dining reservations we made for an upcoming trip there this month. Noticed the Aulani website 30 days matched. The App for me was a day behind. Used website.

Was just about to post a question asking about the booking windows for Aulani as they all seem to be different and we have not been there in 6 years.

Any confirmation on these is appreciated but wanted to recap from above and ask questions about the others.

1) Cabanas/casabellas - 90 days from the first day of your reservation starting at midnight Hawaii time. Can you do this online or have to call?

2) Dining - 30 days from the day of the desired reservation (not the first day of you reservation), also starting at midnight Hawaii time. Can this be done online?

3)Luau - I see someone above mentioned 4 months but have seen 6 months mentioned elsewhere. This appears to be online but not sure of the time.

4) Activities - For instance, ukulele lessons. What is the timeframe? (We have teens so Aunty's is not needed)

Any other tips are appreciated because I am certain many things have changed since we were there last. Thank you!

Notes I made for my trip. I found it to be so confusing. So I saved this for my next trip.

Below is the link to book activities. 30 days out at 7am Hawaii time. I could not ever book in the app only via this link. It day by day not beginning of reservation. So you have to set an alarm to be ready to book each day. Also it's a rolling 30 days not trip calendar day, example reservation Aug 1 and book on July 1, so be sure to count out the days on your calendar. Tip: Ukulele books the quickest so try for that before any others.

Star Gazing ($), Ukulele Lessons called ‘Ohana Ho’okani Pila (free), Thingamabobs Mermaid (free), Painting Party ($), Mickey Ears ($), T-Shirt Stamping ($).

This is the link to book Aunties Beach House 90 days out. Both free and $. Free Aunties Beach House time is title "themed experience". Again online via this link not in app.

Dining easy peasy just like the theme parks. In Aulani app at Midnight Hawaii time.



Rentals for Cabanas is 90 days out midnight Hawaii time. You have to call in for this as well.

Just as a follow up to this post, they moved the activity sign up date. The website for the Pau Hana Room, that has the link to register for ukulele lessons, etc, now states the following: "Starting January 1, 2025, reservation-required activities are available for booking 45 days in advance of the desired date of attendance." (And just made mine for 45 days out!)

Thanks for the heads up!

Well, I'm checking this too late and we've been aced out of what we wanted because I didn't know the reservation dates moved up or that reservations had become so hard to get since our first Aulani visit.
Does anyone know if they hold any reservations back for later booking or if you can call to be added to a wait list?

You can try day of many people get in this way. Until your trip keep checking daily, people cancel all the time. Free Auntys people forget to cancel since there is no financial obligation, for that check day of.

What is the current booking window for Aunty's Beach house?

The webpage (https://www.disneyaulani.com/activities/auntys-beach-house/) states: Reservations will be available three months prior to the desired date.

However, when I play around on the separate reservation webpage (https://na.spatime.com/abh96707/51552930/home) it seems to only be 45 days in advance.

Is it 90 days if you call, but 45 days via the reservation webpage? Or is the Aunty's Beach house webpage out of date?

Thank you!

ETA: Is Thingamabobs - A Mermaid's Tale not offered any more? I tried playing around in the booking window and I couldn't seem to see any listing for it on any day within the current 45 day period.
