Are Uber or Lyft choices from HNL to Aulani or Aulani to various tourist destinations?It is actually quite easy to get around without renting a car. The bus is excellent and goes everywhere. It does take longer of course, but the views are always good, it is air conditioned, no,parking fees and SUPER cheap. I just can not afford aulani and a cruise, so the bus works for me!
where did you see the schedules? We have begun research on Luaus and just recently learned you do not have to be a Aulani guest to book the Luau. I also heard it was good. I dont want to do the PCC one ( sorry but I want the option of having a cocktail with dinner). We are most likely not staying at Aulani as this is our first Hawaii trip and for our short stay we want to see the island, not be stuck in a resort.We will be on the 10n Hawaii-Vancouver sailing, which sails on Friday, May 8. We will arrive in HNL on Wednesday, and hope to stay 2n at Aulani pre-cruise. We were also hoping to do the Aulani Luau, and was hoping to do it Thursday night because I don't know what time our flight will arrive/what time we would get to Aulani on Wednesday afternoon, but looking at the schedule, it appears that they may not normally schedule Luaus on Thursdays??
We are starting the process of staying at Aulani and trying to find out what airport folks fly in to. We will be flying from Indy and we know there is no direct flight from here. Do most rent a car or is there a shuttle from the airport to the resort? Thanks in advance for any help with this...smjj ºoº
At the booking site here:where did you see the schedules? We have begun research on Luaus and just recently learned you do not have to be a Aulani guest to book the Luau. I also heard it was good.

I saw the Dis podcast and Pete was saying that as a tip to book the Luau your first night as it does get rained out and then bookings are moved to the next show.

I read yesterday that Aulani is doing a big refurb on the pool areas this year. I'm very excited to go back in 2020 and see what they do.
If you have reservations during the construction time, they are offering $50 a day resort credit. Construction starts August and is scheduled to be finished by December.
Already? Seems like they just opened LOL
Believe it or not, it will be open 8 years in August, crazy how time flies.
Does anyone know if Aluani will set aside some rooms for the Wonder Hawaii guests?
When would we potentially be able to book rooms for April/May 2020?
If they do set a block of rooms aside, are these likely to be discounted in some way or regular price?
What would be the better meal option time? For Europe, I had the late seating and it was frustrating with the turn around time of waking up early and eating very late. Originally my family booked late seating since we heard that for the European cruises it was best in case excursions ran late. However, even if we came back late, they pushed the first seating back to a later time to still accommodate them. My server was a first timer, and no matter how early we got there at late seating, he would always serve families with smaller children first. So my whole family didn't really get out of late evening till like 10 to 10:15 pm each night.
For those who did excursions on the previous Hawaii trip, if you did the first seating at meals, was there ample time from when you got back from excursions? Looking at the itinerary one port will definitely have to be meal on your own regardless of what seating. Thanks!
