VDH Questions for Purchasing

[Girlstar30]

They got rid of that during the pandemic when they laid off a bunch of cast members.

Wow missed opportunity for them. I guess not worth it to them just like room service. I had to order offsite.

The Disney in room gifts are so disappointing, is this really all thry have on the website? What happened to all the floral arrangements?

We were just looking at them for my granddaughters 2nd bday. None were appealing enough unfortunately. Come with mostly snack items I can buy myself. Pretty sad.

Yes! The only one I like is the 70th anniversary one and we already have that picture frame from the gift shop.

So that makes it even worth less than the ridiculous $350 price tag, you can literally put what they offer together yourself. Very lazy.

Now using an outside service and have to sneak away to call for delivery which is going to be hard to do. It seems like it would be so easy for them to just contract with one of the many local florists for arrangements. So many people celebrate there, i dont get it

Aulani is great. We had been to Hawaii previously twice, once on 2012 and again in 2017. We did do pictures on the beach in 2017 at the “secret beach” spot about 800’ from Aulani and had dinner there and saw the pools and resort but not rooms. We purchased a lot of points there before ever staying there an stayed for the first time over Christmas break. We loved it an already have planned for going back regularly at least every 18 months or so normally. As long as you don’t mind the Disney Vibes with seeing some characters walking around and children, then Green Turtle bay resort would be better to rent a room or beach bungalow at or Outrigger on the beach in Honolulu was great in 2012 and 2017.

We had extra points from buying a max loaded resale contract that needed to be used up before we were going to be able to make it and treated my business Partner to 7 nights ocean view studio at Aulani for their 20th. They made it 3 nights and changed their last 4 nights on their own to a beachside bungalow at Green Turtle bay. It was too many children for them with not having their grandkids around. It gave them a home base to explore the island from but it wasn’t their vibe with the characters and children even in early off season November. They are also not Disney people and never have been to the parks but may have take their grandkids kids in another year or two to the parks. Us on the other hand loved it with a 4, 6 and 8.5 year old. My wife is categorically a Disney obsessed adult who will take trips by herself to do run Disney. I can see us going happily even without the kids someday.

We've been to Aulani 3 times without kids (ours are grown), at least 3-4 Disney cruises without kids, and many WDW and DLR trips without kids. At Aulani, we've learned to not get a chair by the splash pad or slide, but otherwise, other people's kids are just background to me. I don't see myself outgrowing Disney any time soon
