Aulani Owners Thread - ALOHA!

Maybe to use the beach? I have no idea isnt that beach private for Aulani?

Fun fact, by law no beach in Hawaii can be private, every beach must be open to the public.

As it should be.

As it should be.

Would be nice if more states had greater public access to beaches. Washington state has similar rules, though they're more tied to the water line rather than the beach line, I think? Still, they can't block public access. And anywhere a street comes to an end at the beach, those areas always are open to the public completely.

This should be more of the standard nationwide.

Same with Oregon.

Seems close. Do they normally give a heads up prior to sell out?

They have for resorts that have sold out before now, with sort of “it’s your last chance!” type of announcements. Given that Aulani is taking such a long time to sell out, they ought to have a major party when it gets that close!

While this thread on this subject - I've heard some speculate that Aulani will never sell out because of the rate at which direct sales for it have slowed over the years. As time goes on, it will just keep becoming less desirable to buy Aulani direct as it gets closer to expiration (unless they come out with some awesome deals), especially with all the good resale contracts that exist for this resort on the market. Not sure how much truth there is to that, but Aulani has already been on sale for 30% of its timeshare lifespan and still has some ways to go before selling out.

Disney could easily sell it out…. but they make too much money selling the points they still own at cash prices.

The other thing that hurts direct sales is people having access to smart phones while on vacation and looking at the resale pricing that can be up to half off direct pricing….. especially with the flood of resale contracts that were put on by a commercial renter earlier this year.
