Aulani Disney excursions and Ala Moana Hotel parking

[MrsG]

Hi,

We booked a few excursions through Disney and pickup is in Honolulu at the Ala Moana Hotel. Do we use the hotel's parking lot or do we park elsewhere?
Can we park there all day? Is there a fee?

Most of the excursions leave early (8am)and I am worried about traffic to Honolulu. How did everyone find the traffic? What time should we head out? 6am? Yikes!

Thanks.

I would give myself an hour for travel time. If you leave between 6:00 am and 6:30 am, you'll arrive at the Ala Moana Hotel with time to spare. On a normal work-day morning, you'll encounter traffic from Ewa Beach into Honolulu. Regarding parking at the Ala Moana Hotel, you may find parking at the mall. The parking lot at the hotel is quite small so you can try there also if there is space early in the morning. Have fun!
