I am currently just a resale white card holder. I have plans to buy direct by the end of Sept. My question is about direct benefits at Aulani and if it's worthwhile to make it a point to become direct before our trip thats in a month.

Here are benefits that I know of

"Welcome home weeks" unfortunately every one of these events do not fall within our trip dates :(

10% off Cabanas/Casabellas

Discount on merchandise and dining. I already have a Disney Visa, is the DVC discount much higher than the Visa 10%? Is it available at all locations within the resort?

Ukulele lessons, but I see that anyone can book free Ukulele lessons, is the DVC option different?

There's a mini cooking demonstration/drink demonstration. We have dietary restrictions so the food isn't an option for us, and we are traveling with a kid so the alcohol one is off the table too.

I saw something about a sparkly wristband.. but not something that will motivate me to sign on the dotted line asap.

A gold souvenir coin possibly?

What other direct blue card DVC perks am I missing?

Thanks!!
 
How much do you like popcorn?

Free refills with direct lol
Well I let my husband and son go to the movie concession stand without me and made the mistake of saying "I dont care get whatever you want" They returned with $30 popcorn buckets because of $3 refills all year long. So I've had my fair share of popcorn for the year trying to earn back that initial investment. I am officially popcorned out.
 

You can buy direct now, and stretch your payments out. You'll get the blue card immediately after you make the decision.
 
You can buy before leaving, go on the trip, and if it is less than 10 days long, then you can cancel when you get home within the 10 day window lol
 
https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/discounts-perks-offers/#/aulani here's the most comprehensive list - i think the ukulele reference isn't the lesson, which is free to all, but the 10% discount on a ukulele, except of course for the priciest/best one, the Kamaka :)
Ive seen this part of the site and was still a bit confused.
  • Character Dance Party: From what I have seen on various forums this doesnt seem to be restricted to DVC direct members only, or to just DVC in general either. Or is there 2 different character dance parties at the pool?
  • Menehune Adventure Trail: Extra Member Access: This one is also for all guests, so DVC just gets extra time?

The character dance party you're referring to is, i think, part of the DVC (first class) members only celebration - it's an event just for the DVC-Y members.

And I think so re: menehune trail, just extra time.
