We would mostly use them at WDW. For those that own at VB, HH, or Aulani, have you had trouble getting a reservation at WDW at the 7 month mark? pre covid and current covid situation. Thanks
PreCOVID, it was a bad idea since you are paying higher annual dues which will quickly offset the benefit of the lower upfront cost. Finding something onsite at 7 months was tough during the fall but doable in most other times of the year.We would mostly use them at WDW.

The taxes and fees are only assessed if you actually stay at Aulani. They are also assessed at all other hotels in HawaiiHawaii is a weird place to own a timeshare. The taxes and fees that will assess on points is not worth it if you are not committed to going to Aulani.
Property taxes are a big issue and they are included in dues. The property taxes on Aulani are about to skyrocket.The taxes and fees are only assessed if you actually stay at Aulani. They are also assessed at all other hotels in Hawaii
Why do you say that? Hawaii traditionally has the lowest property tax rate in the nation.Property taxes are a big issue and they are included in dues. The property taxes on Aulani are about to skyrocket.
Because the last year has been brutal on their tax revenues and there are limited ways to make it up.Why do you say that? Hawaii traditionally has the lowest property tax rate in the nation.
Yep. The state government likes taxes but the local residents don't like paying taxes. One very popular solution has been to soak the timeshare owners, since they don't vote in Hawaii.Because the last year has been brutal on their tax revenues and there are limited ways to make it up.
True, but that is the case everywhere. Nothing unique to Hawaii. I do not think the fees at Aulani are going to be significantly impacted. Some for sure, but they will not skyrocket.Yep.
