Excursions

[Tdisney]

How far in advance did you all book your excursions and was it necessary ? Can you play it by ear and book when you get there. We went to Maui years ago and booked our excursions when we got there.

Thanks

That totally depends on what you want to do and when you're there, I would say. I booked everything a month or so ago, for our trip in a few weeks. I wanted to sync up timing of some things. Not once was I told "that's booked up" or anything of the sort, and everything had a 24-48h no-fee cancellation policy, so it's also easy enough to cancel stuff. For larger boat tours, etc, I think you would be just fine waiting until you get there, and if you're flexible on dates/times - probably even the smaller group tours. If you know what day you want to go to Pearl Harbor, you'll definitely want to get your USS Arizona tix ordered in advance, b/c even doing that shortly after the window opened for our date, my options for the time of day were extremely limited. The only other thing to consider is booking water-related things for early in your trip, in case they get canceled for weather conditions and have to be rescheduled; this mattered to us b/c a boat ride was my son's biggest request, but otherwise I probably wouldn't have cared that much.
