Aulani

How hard is it to get into Aulani at seven months? Would premier season actually be easier since it costs more points? Or harder because it's a popular time? Just buying in so I'm a rookie!

We have been able to book studios for August 2x now promptly at 7 months (once OV and once IV). I think it might depend what type of unit you're hoping for and the view. The lower point values tend to go first. FWIW we did consider going over our Easter spring break this past year and when I checked a few weeks AFTER our 7 month window was already open there was still availability for studios in I think pretty much all categories. One reason we nixed the idea of going then was because with the time difference and losing a day of travel to / from we would've ony had 7 nights. That's not long enough to justify the time and expense involved for us to get there. We opted to wait for summer when we'd have more time for the trip. Summer on the other hand books up PROMPTLY at 7 months. So if you're talking about Easter break you may have more opportunities for a few reasons - 1) because people have less time and it's a long trip AND 2) the points are high AND 3) the already expensive flights are astronomical then. Not sure about the Christmas / New Years holidays. I think they book fairly quickly tho from what I've read….

5 to 6 months in advance, we were able to book one bdrm, ocean view for our honeymoon. Good luck!

The first few weeks in June seem to be the most difficult to book. Some members have reported that they could not get a room during this time period or that they had to pay more points per night for the room than they wanted as all of the standard and island views were booked for their dates. Others have reported that they tried to book a few days later after the 7 month mark for cheaper season in June and couldn't get anything.

For other dates, I have not heard of any problems getting something at the 7 month mark.
