Trip Report Aulani June 2025

We will be at Aulani in September, so this trip report is perfect for getting me in the mood for the trip!

We had lunch at Roy‘s on our last trip and really liked it. But Happy Hour looks really good and I agree with you that the deck looks much nicer than inside!

Yeah! I love Sept in Hawaii. My first trip to Hawaii was my honeymoon and it was in Sept. Sept is great weather and is normally less crowded.

And yes happy hour is the way to go with Roys. A more limit menu but better atmosphere and a little cheaper on food and drinks.

Next we head down to the lawn for the dvc party. We have learned we don't need to get there as early as they suggest. They suggest like half an hour early... my son just cannot last that long. So we go 15 mins early instead. Remember to bring towels to sit on. If u have someone who cannot sit on the ground they do have chairs to the side. Also wear you light up mickey ears that you make here. Lots of other people wearing them and they glow great for evening dance party we packed and wore the ones we made last trip.

We each get a free kukui nut lei. We use these leis for our beach photos later. One of the free things that I love us getting for being dvc members.





Also got fun rainbow glow sticks!

By the time we get seated the hype guy starts doing trivia. So my son has fun trying to get picked for the trivia.
They do a small sales pitch video but most of it is just a fun dance party with characters.
We have soo much fun dancing.




We love it. Our son loves a chance to get the wiggles out.
At the end they have the characters spread out for you to meet and get pics.
We head for mickey. I wanted to make sure we get mickey.
They do sign things still at this event.

And we get our family pic.


Then time for bed! Wow that was a 1st full day and even though it did not go as planned it ended up a great day.

Next post will be day 3

Day 3
Good morning!

Wait it does not look like morning... lol.



But it is bueatiful! Man that moon is shining!
Did I mention I love our balcony view!

We had to wake up early since we needed to be at North shore by 5:30am!

Luckily we were all still mostly on Colorado time. We get ready for the shark diving and eat our breakfast and head out.

The lobby so quite in the morning.


Our drive is even easier earlier in the morning.

We check in again with the shark divers. We all joked around how this was round 2.

They have us go to the bathroom since there are no bathrooms on the boat. We booked a private boat so it will just be our family. Our shark divers said they love the 6am ones since the water is the most calm this early.




We go out and man the water is calm. They said this is the calmest they seen it any a while!
And man is it bueatiful.


There is the cage we will be useing.


Our shark people talked about sharks and answered all my sons questions. My son had soo much fun talking with them. He looves sharks. They also explain the whole process how to get in and out and now it is time to go in!!



My husband is the first to go in.
They do a good job helping us all in esp with my dad and son who need some extra help.
