What two bedroom Villa should I waitlist?

[Gizmo74]

I missed my 7 month booking window by a couple days and ALL the two bedrooms are sold out in the week of August we are going. I was able to snag a one bedroom Ocean view but really wanted a two bedroom. A couple questions.

1. What two bedroom would have a better chance in clearing a waitlist? Is there more inventory over another category?
2. If we have to stay in the one bedroom, does Aulani have roll away beds? There are only 4 of us but we have a snorer in the group and having two in the living room won't work.

I think ocean view would be most likely to clear the waitlist, followed by poolside, island, and finally standard. Most people seem to prefer saving the points over a view, and there are a lot of ocean view rooms at Aulani.

From research online, it seems like Aulani doesn't have rollaway beds. But you're free to bring and set up an air mattress.

Where are you going to put the snorer?

Aulani does not have roll away beds.

The 1 Bedroom Villas sleeps 5x total...
-The bedroom sleeps 2. (1x King bed)
-The living room sleeps 3. (1x pull out sofa and a 1x twin size pull down under the TV)

If you really want to isolate your 1 snorer, the only real option is putting that person in the bedroom on the King. And everyone else sleeps in the living room.

There are four of us. Two were going in the King Bed and that leaves two in the living room. If we had the two bedroom, the snorer stays in the living room and the three others would get their own bed.

If they don't do roll aways, I thought about doing a blow up mattress.

I thought about that but that would put me on the pull out sofa with one of my teenagers and it would not be comfortable being a Queen vs king. It's me and our two teenagers and want to put dad on the sofa. I just hope the two bedroom clears the wait list.

Yea...Obviously not an ideal outcome/situation if you're stuck with the 1 Bedroom Villa.

Hoping your waitlist comes through for you!

LOL, thank you! Keeping fingers crossed.

Your best shot is likely an ocean view followed by an island garden view. Those two view categories have the largest amount of rooms. Are you able to put waitlists in for both? I think you have good chance of getting one of those!

I have a waitlist for both Island View category. I am seeing some movement so maybe have some "walkers" as a 2 bedroom Ocean room has all but one night available. I might change up my waitlist for 2 bedroom Ocean room but that would wipe out all my points, which I might be willing do to. Keep on checking to see if there is any movement each day.
