Aulani June 2025 Trip Report

[VGCgroupie]

I do not normally have a tribal band on my right arm…. even though it was in fashion with the fraternity types when I was in college.

It was a temporary they do as part of the luau.

Ahh okay. My son would love to that with his Dad but we won’t be attending the luau.

Are you still able to get the next days band in the afternoon so you don't have to wait in the morning?

I believe 4pm is when you can starting getting the next day’s band.

Glad they still let you do that. It saves a lot of time in the mornings I feel like.

 

[AstroBlasters]

Maybe I missed it but did you ever state whether you preferred this tower vs the other one?

They both have positives, depending on what’s important to you.

1) Where do you like to sit by the pool?
2) How often are you going to the car?
3) Where are you planing on dining?

Etc.

It’s the Goodbye Morning. Always a wistful day…. Both photos are panoramic if you open.

Is there a way to actually get down to ground level from the GV end of the wing (I guess there's always stairs?) or do you have to walk back to the elevators that are 2/3rds of the way to the lobby?

Elevators…. but I wouldn’t want to walk down 10 flights of stairs….

So you're the guy buying the Mickey-on-a-bicycle-and-gondola-in-a-fedora 2023/24 Tommy Bahama.

I hated that line so much. Riviera-*** shirt.

Thanks for your input on my clothing selection.

So beautiful! Can you see the luau from the deck by chance?

If you are brave enough to hang your body out of the far corner and peak to the left you can see the stage.

Nope. I knew I was giving up seeing luau when we got the GV. So I was just hoping this was the best of both worlds.. ocean front and luau. No big deal, 2026 we will be back to island garden view providing Atlantis hasn't started construction

Looks like someone was rambunctious on our airplane….
