Is there a list of stuff/perks that's closed @ Aulani?

[jase2022]

I am going on the March 20th week, and I thought most of the stuff should be opened already, but I am hearing otherwise, such as the adult pool, lei, what else is closed? The snorkel?

Was just there Mid-January, not a single pool or spa was closed. The only 3 things I know of being closed is the kids club (aunty’s beach house), the area you could previously use to shower before going to the airport for a late flight, and then the Ama Ama restaurant. We were in the adult spa area every day, did the luau, and snorkled.

Does anyone know if refillable mugs are back?

The former adult pool isn't closed, it's just been opened to families, i.e. it's not an adult pool anymore, it's an everyone pool.

No leis, no mugs, no full housekeeping, no kids club, no signature restaurant, and character meet-and-greets are distanced.

Does anyone know if refillable mugs are back?

Self-serve beverage stations are still banned by the state of Hawaii.

Yep, literally.

No magic bands (although not sure whether they were ever rolled out @ Aulani), no day lounge/shower facilities for last day, no food delivery in the spa...

Also no room service.

Interesting note on the refillable mug. We were at Dole Plantation yesterday and they had their self-serve fountains opened for your drinks. As with all rules, seems to be selectively followed.

I just got home 3 days ago.

Closed/Not Available: Ama Ama, Refillable drinks, full housekeeping, Aunty's Beach House, Room Service, no leis

Limited: There is no Adult-only pool currently (open to everyone though definitely quieter than other areas), "character breakfast" is not really a full character meal experience. As someone else noted, character meet and greets are distanced but not by so much that it interfered with the experience (for my kids).

Spa is fully open but your time to enjoy the facility is limited to only the one hour preceding your service and then they sweetly and graciously kick you out

Also, capacity was limited for stuff like ukulele lessons, fish feeding, etc. so some activities were hard to book.

Safe Access Oahu sunsets at 11:59pm HST on March 5th. It will be interesting to see if some of this changes after that.

There used to have big water containers out by the pools for everyone. Are those back?

 

[jase2022]

Okay, no adult pool is cool.. we all family anyway!

Are we able to book any of the activities ahead of time or is it only after you checked in? first timer...

Are buffets back or still only the appetizer/entree/dessert option?

No buffet back yet

It depends on the activity. Mostly, if you pay for it, you can book in advance. Day-of booking for fish feeding, ukulele lesson, minnie ear making, etc. They actually told me if it was a paid activity you can book in advance and then I pointed out that you could not book the fish feeding in advance (which costs $7 per person) and they looked very perplexed by that conflict in what they said The Minnie ear making you could book in advance but I am fairly certain you have to be on site.
