Hi everyone,
I got a great deal for a 9-night stay at Aulani- standard room. (Not DVC members). Going is my 71-year-old very active mother, DS14, DS11, DD10 and me44. None of us have been to Hawaii. My kids love the pool at Beach Club, the beach and the kids club on DCL.
We LOVE tours and hate exploring on our own so I did not want to rent a car (don't want to pay parking fee or deal with traffic either). Planning to bring some food from home (breakfast bars, mac-n-cheese to go, peanut butter & nutella) and go across the street to the mini mart for some bread and other groceries.
This is my plan. PLEASE tell me what you think.
DAY 1- arrive after dinner
DAY 2- day at the pool
DAY 3- morning: Surfing lessons/ afternoon: beach
DAY 4- Kilauea Volcano
DAY 5- morning: Auntie's Beach House for the kids and spa for the adults/ evening: Sunset Cruise
DAY 6- snorkel with sea turtles/ evening: Paradise Cove Luau
DAY 7- Character breakfast/ afternoon: Manoa Rainforest hike
DAY 8- no plans yet---any ideas?
DAY 9- tour of Pearl Harbor
DAY 10- day at the resort, plane leaves at 10pm
Is that too many days to stay at Aulani? Should I split my stay and stay in Waikiki? This planning is giving me a headache.
THANKS!!!!!!
