I just got back from a wonderful trip to Aulani, and I credit a lot of it to how prepared I was based on comments here.
Because of this board I knew to do the following...
Reserve my car rental way in advance (6 months).
Reserve my USS Arizona Memorial ticket 60 days in advance (7 am Hawaii time) for early in the morning on a Sunday. (On the day I went, tickets were gone by 8:15.)
See the turtles at the public beach near Paradise Cove. (I tried, but they weren't there.)
Get my Daily 'Iwa the night before.
Get pool towels the night before thus allowing me to grab my chair at 7:45 then get my wristband when the line died down at 8:30.
Go to the Starlit Hui.
Play the Menehune Adventure Trail - it's not just for kids.
Request Ewa Tower so I was away from the Four Seasons construction noise. (This one backfired on me - I ended up right above the evening music at The Olelo Room, which didn't end until 10 pm.)
Drive up to Yokohama Bay to see the beautiful beach there. (And I saw 2 rainbows too!)
Call to check the character locations every day. (I got to see all of the characters, and I saw Duffy 3 times!)
Do the DVC Photo Pass scavenger hunt to get my free photo.
Look in the keyhole in the small chest of drawers across from Kalepa's Store.
I'm sure there were more, but these are the ones that I can think of in my sleep deprived state after my flight home. Thanks again!
