Aulani - Easiest months to book at 7 months?

[Mimi151]

Thinking of a 7 person family vacation at Aulani, probably in 2026. We would most likely be booking a 2 bedroom. I want to start mentally planning the time frame. I know the summer months are tough, but which 3 or 4 months are EASIEST to book for a week at 7 months? Thanks for any info you can provide!

We just booked a 2 bedroom in September at only 5.5 months out. So I'd have to guess that September is fairly easy

We're going the 2nd week of July. I was getting nervous because it was getting pretty spotty the closer we got to 7 months. We booked a 2BR IV right at the 7 month window opening. Within 15 minutes every category was gone that day. June looks pretty impossible. July (outside of the 4th) seems pretty doable if booking right at the 7 month mark.

We also went in October a couple years ago and had no stress booking at 7 months. Availability was still there for at least another month or 2.

Not the first half of August. We did it, but it took some patience. It appeared people were walking reservations so we had to wait until they dropped those days before we could book it. Lots of competition for those days because they book immediately at the 7 month window.

Good place to look to get an idea of availability.

We booked late October / early Nov in a 2 BR OV back in 2023 and there was plenty of availability at 7 months. Not sure about the other views, though as we were really only looking at OV. I'll add that we were on the islands for about 3 weeks (not all at Aulani) and the weather was delightful - hardly any rain and perfect temperatures throughout the trip.

With rare/inconsistent exceptions, mostly in July and August and holidays, the only time that you will have a hard time getting anything at 7 months is the first half of June.
