Hope that you are having an AWESOME TIME!

Guess that the weather is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE EAST!

Did you fly nonstop or did you layover?

Did you request a specific building or room and are you happy with your choice?

This is "spring break" for some schools I suppose....Is the resort crowded this week?

HOPE THAT YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME SO FAR!!!

SO looking forward to that GORGEOUS weather in May!

We are in a pool view dedicated 2 bedroom. We request Ewa building high floor. We have a great room with an ocean view.

We got our tickets during a Delta glitch so they were ridiculously cheap ($78 each!) so we didn't get the route we would have chosen. I would prefer on layover on the west coast. We did Bos-Detriot-Seattle- HNL long day.

It is spring break in Hawaii right now so I think that is filling the rooms. It does feel a little crowded but not too bad.

Did you fly nonstop or did you layover?

We fly out Thursday from Nashville. On the way over, we make two stops - Houston and LA. On our return flight, we have non-stop HNL-Atlanta then ATL to Nashville. I'll let you know if we prefer the extra stop or the 9.5 hour return flight after we get back.

Is the 5th floor considered high floor for a pool view?

Yes, Pool View Villas go no higher than the 5th floor.

We stayed in hotel room 1030 in the Waiane building. We LOVED it. I thought you had the view from 1032, but I see it's actually 1530, so the same view, four stories lower.

Those are some lucky peasants if that is their view! Thanks for sharing, aboveH20!

By the way, I just downloaded an album of Aulani music from the iTunes store. The songs are by Keali'i Reichel and I'm listening to it right now. Definitely makes me feel I'm back at Aulani.

If anyone is interested in getting the music, search the iTunes store for 'Aulani' and you'll see the album.

In the "great" northeast where I live, freeways aren't free. A lot of people get E-Z Pass which is a little plastic box you put on your windshield with a tiny alien inside who deducts money from your account each time you go through a toll booth. (Bet you wonder where I'm going with this.) When we sail past the cars waiting in long lines to pay their toll because they don’t believe in E-Z Pass, we mutter, "Get out of the way peasants." In a similar manner, I presume DVCers refer to us non-DVCers as peasants.

(I know humor doesn't always come across well in the internet world, so I'll lock my door and update my homeowners insurance, just in case.)

Thanks for the Aulani music lead. I downloaded it, and you're right, it's a great take-me-back.

Not at all! We look at you as prospective DVC members and try to talk you into it (while offering our name as a referral ).

We just got back from an AWESOME tour through Ko Olina OCean Adventures. A short walk or shuttle ride to the Marina. 4 hour tour we swam/snorkeled with spinner dolphins, and sea turtles and saw whales! HIGHLY recommend!!!!

Thanks poohj80! I've added your villa to the list in Post #1.

For those interested, poohj80's first photo shows the two cabanas that are located near the Menehune Bridge water play area. The cabanas are right above the Rainbow Reef pool and to the right of the large white-roofed building. One of the cabanas is partially blocked by a palm tree.

It really is Paradise! Can't get DD out of pools to see anything else, but besides that...

Got back on Sunday and have finally recovered! We were very fortunate to get our first choice (room number level) and our room was ready when we arrived at 1:30 on Saturday. We arrived on the 18th and I agree that it became very crowded after that. The weather was wonderful and I'm happy to answer any questions about traffic, excursions(some), rental cars, Honolulu airport and resort food. We had four teen age girls with us and they were not interested in the teen club...not sure why.

The only negative about this view was no sunset but the adult hot tub worked well as a substitute

We stayed 3/14-3/18 in a 2 Queen Hotel room. Wainea Building #540. We got our request of highest pool view floor. We enjoyed it. DH was happy with a pool view instead of island view. I'm glad I sprung for the upgrade!













My only complaint about this location was listening to the Character Breakfast mantra every single morning on the balcony. It got a bit grating. Same songs, same dialog from Auntie on the microphone. Otherwise it was great!
