Is Memorial Day weekend rather popular at Aulani?

Aulani is sold out pretty much always.

Aulani is sold out pretty much always.

Let me rephrase. Does Aulani sell out instantly at the 7-month mark on Memorial Day weekend? Seems like there’s decent availability in the weeks leading up to it. Just trying to discern if it’s the start of kids being out of school so parents decide to travel (hence why June is so booked always) or if it’s just a popular weekend in general due to an extra day of work, or the nearby Pearl Harbor visitation.

I'm supposed to be there that week as well! I can't decide how much the refurbishment will impact the area. I really wanted to stay in Waikiki for a couple nights and then go to Aulani for the relaxation portion. I could switch them and do Aulani first to hit that before the refurbishment, but I'm not really sure if it would be worth it.

We were originally planning to end our trip at Aulani too, until the pool refurb was announced. Now we'll have our 4 nights at Aulani first and 5 nights in Waikiki to wrap up the trip. While it wasn't my original plan, I figured it'll be nice to relax in the beginning of the trip and we'll be up early for pool chairs thanks to jet lag! We ended up renting dvc points though bc the Aulani winter discount ends right in the middle of our dates and I really couldn't justify paying full price. Good luck with your planning!!
