Many of us like to do silly things such as stay in rooms larger than we need, have rooms that overlap so we have a place to hang out during a split stay, or what I am most guilty for, hosting friends family to "force" the fun. Happy to pay it forward and take over the mantle of the crazy family "uncle" who allows the kiddos to experience awesome things that they may not be able to do. We didn't have a lot when I was growing up and we had a good family friend we called "uncle" who would host us with his toys which allowed us to have great experiences on his boats, his quads/sandrails, stayed at his timeshares/vacation home in Lake Havasu, etc.
I'm currently planning a trip for friends/family to WDW for summer of 2027 what will likely need about 1800 to 2400 points and I'm also looking to plan a micro family reunion for Summer 2028 to align with the LA games for the east coast family to come visit, have a few days at DLR, and then try and catch some of the events for the Olympics.
The flexibility of the membership with banking and borrowing makes it fairly easy for those close to or joining to the comma club to "go crazy" and make some magic if they wish as 1000 points can turn into 3000 with some planning and that can be a fairly fun trip for a large party
The ultimate Aulani experienceIt's on our list too. That Aulani GV was beyond amazing. I was either on the deck or in the lazy river.

7 people in a 2 bedroom…. Speaking only for myself…. that sounds miserable. At least there are 3 bathrooms in an Aulani 2BD.Debating on 2BR vs Grand Villa for an Aulani trip myself. It's for 7 of us, so 2BR Ocean View seems like enough, but then the GV looks amazing (but at over twice the cost per night)

Yeah I probably wouldn't do a 2BR+1BR, that's like 60 ish points from the GV at that point so might as well take the plunge. Maaaaybe a 2BR+ a studio and then just hang out in the 2BR most of the time. Just doesn't really seem worth double the points from 2BR to GV if the 2BR will work.
I guess Id say if you have the points to spare Id do it. If you are tight on points maybe save them. Or if this is a rare trip to Aulani it could be worth it. Things die down at night so you will much more down time in the room once the sun sets than at WDW. Depending on the time of year the pool can be open later than other times of the year.
Really depends on how many nights we finalize. I have 8 booked right now, but may bump it down to 6 or 7 so we can get back a day early before everyone goes back to work just in case.
I borrowed to stay in the GV. I still look at my dashboard like whatttt. But its okay for us since when we go to WDW most of the time we are staying in 1 beds.
We really like having a common space that everyone can meet up to in addition to everyone having a private space that they can retreat to.Yeah would be 2, 2, and 3 across the 3 rooms, and has 3 baths so it seems doable. Especially since we would have the master
