How far in advance can you book your ID now test at Walgreens? We don’t go into September. I’m hoping that we don’t have to test then and a vaccine will be fine...but I want to be prepared just in case...

For us in Texas it was 3 days in advance, but they still had next day slots available.
DS is in Kauai now, scheduled to fly home on Friday/Saturday. He actually went for the PCR test to our local Walgreens with plans to also get the ID Now the day before flight just in case. Closest Walgreens was an hour away. Day before he was to fly out, 5/12, our local Walgreen's had the ID Now test as well. He told me I read it wrong, but I didn't. I even took a screen shot! 
No problem scheduling it at all.
The poster up thread who said to keep checking their site as they keep adding Walgreen's offering the ID Now test is correct. I just checked now, and all of the Walgreen's within an hour of us are now offering the test.
He is having a blast. His friend's company is actually looking for an engineer, same field as my son. I, not so subtly, suggested he should check it out. It would ultimatley be a pay cut for him, but I think that is something you should go for when you are young and without responsibilities.
And mom would be happy to visit!

I was able to schedule my appointment on Wednesday 3 days prior, on Sunday. In my area (Colorado) there were appointments available every 15 minutes all day.

In my area (Houston), the ID Now tests are available 7 days a week. We tested today and had our results back in a few hours.
Edited to add: I recommend testing as early as possible. My friend's daughter had an invalid test result which required a retest the following day.
Everywhere I have looked says that you need another covid test for inter island travel to any other island (other than Oahu). You can travel to Oahu from another island without re-testing. We are doing the same thing and were originally going to fly from Kauai to Maui but changed plans due to testing.
DS came back last Friday. They were on Kauai and considered traveling to another island , but he said they would have needed to quarantine. I don't know how thorough they were in checking on this, it just might have been too much trouble for the week they were there.

You don't need to quarantine if you have a negative COVID test 72 hours prior to arriving at the new island.

We fly to Maui on Monday and took Walgreen Rapid ID Now test yesterday. I got the email for my son's test within an hour but my results took 6 hours. I was 99.9% sure I was negative since I test at work but was still a relief when my test finally came back. Both results have been uploaded and now to pack!

I had to take my daughter to the local CVS for a PCR for camp last week. I took her at 2:40pm, and before 7am the following day, the results were texted to me. Much faster than I expected. Test was on a Thursday and results on Friday morning. My older DD is going to the camp a few weeks later, and I plan to do the Walgreens ID NOW test (since the camp will take either PCR or NAAT), and the CVS PCR as a back up.Does anyone have any CVS success stories? Walgreens isn't an option where we're getting tested. I'm curious to hear from people that got results within 72 hours and I have a few follow-up questions

i uploaded the PDF of negative test results we got back from Walgreens. We flew Alaska, Boston-Seattle-Maui, in Seattle we got our Hawaii pre-clear wristbands at the gate after showing ID and QR code. For us the process was very easy and we have enjoyed our first full day here on Maui!

Downloaded the PDF from Walgreens to my desktop and uploaded it to site under Covid test exemption.

My boys used CVS. One in Chicago and the other in California. Both had results in under 48 hours. Longer than 24, but below 48.
