Issue is standard view -- low points resulting in high demand, limited number of rooms -- which can disappear before 7 months out many times of the year, For February 2014, Aulani was available at 7 months out except standard view had some issues, but attempting to book exactly at 8 a.m. eastern 7 months out will give you your best and perhaps only chace to get standard view if one exists at all. Wait until 9 to make a phone call and all could be lost.
