Aulani-Differences between dedicated 2 bedroom vs 2 bedroom lock off

[justkeepswimmin]

I am getting ready to book our 3rd trip to Aulani in a few days and a have a few questions about the 2 bedroom units I am hoping someone here can help answer. We usually stay in a 1 bedroom unit but I am allowing my oldest daughter to bring a friend this trip so we will need a larger room.

My understanding from searching the forums is that the dedicated 2 bedroom has an extra 1/2 bath, is this correct? Also can some one confirm that there is no murphy bed under the TV in the dedicated 2 bedroom?

What about balconies? Looking at a floorplan, there looks to be only 2 separate balconies in the dedicated 2 bedroom? If we got a lockoff, am I correct to assume we would have 3 balconies? Last time we stayed in a 1 bedroom OV and we had a small balcony off the master and another off the living room. As I recall, view category/ building makes a difference. We will be booking either Island or Pool view this trip.

Thank you all so much for your help!

Yes the dedicated 2 bedroom does not have the murphy bed and there are 2 balconies - one off the master and one off the living room and second bedroom (separate door, same balcony). There is a 1/2 bath in a dedicated 2 bedroom.
The lock off is essentially a 1 bedroom villa that is attached to a studio (I don't think it is a hotel room it is attached to). If that is the case, the second bedroom may have a queen and a sofa sleeper where a dedicated will have 2 queen beds in the second room.

Do you know how to request one versus the other?

The 2 bedroom are booked as a dedicated or lock-off. You decide when you book.
