    30 days!

    Whoo hoo! In just 30 days we will be at Aulani for the 4th time!!! We splurged and reserved a one bedroom ocean view. Since we are older ... husband will be 77 soon and has some health issues, we don't know if this will be our last family trip. I also splurged for the Disney luau. We have...

    Unfortunately disappointed compared to WDW resorts

    LOL, when I first went to Hawaii in 1984, it was eye opening that a dozen eggs were $6.00. Hopefully it is not as bad now. We have been to Costco, Foodland, Wal-Mart and Safeway in the past and have never had to pay that price for eggs again.

    Beach and luau options

    If you have a rental car, you can just drive west from Aulani and there are plenty of beaches along withe way with waves. Also note that all the beaches on Oahu have lifeguards. We love going to the state park along Yokohama Bay "the end of the road". Also, north shore has great waves...

    Be sure to eat this when visiting Honolulu.

    POG juice! We buy it by the gallon when we are there. 4 adults get thirsty!

    Be sure to eat this when visiting Honolulu.

    The last time we visited before the pandemic we saw so many varieties of SPAM in one store that I had to take a picture. I think it was in Long's drugstore. So much Spam! Of course I can't find the picture now.

    Is anyone finding car rental fares still high?

    We have a car reserved on Oahu for 8 days and it went down $200 so I rebooked. Now it is up $200. We have a 9 day booked on Kauai and it just keeps going up and up! But wow, it is so expensive. I could have 3 months of my car payment for the same amount of the 9 day rental. UGH.

    Unfortunately disappointed compared to WDW resorts

    We have our 4th trip to Aulani/Hawaii coming up late October. We are older parents. My husband is 76. Our adult children in their 30's are both disabled. We love Hawaii and had planned on going in the Fall of 2020, so this is a much-delayed trip. We always rent a car, cook almost all meals...

    Aulani Luau

    We are headed to Aulani late October/early November. I had wanted to book the luau at Aulani. We have done others on the islands and just wanted a relaxing time, so I went to book the premium experience, which was sold out during our trip. I was disappointed. So, a few days later I went to...

    Live Music at the Ōlelo Room Patio

    One of our fondest memories was having a room on the 14th floor on our first visit above the Oleo room and listening to the music at night. It was like falling asleep in heaven.

    Hotels in Waikiki recommendations?

    We are staying at the Sheraton Princess, one block behind the beach. Beachfront is very expensive.

    Reasons why guests keep numerous bands on their wrists 🧐

    This is my son. He will wear them for MONTHS! They will eventually fade and have no color but he keeps them on until they break off.

    Poll: Would You Travel To Aulani?

    FWIW. apparently you also have to have a negative test to travel inter-island. Many of the locals are complaining because they want to see relatives on other islands, but the pre-flight testing is cost prohibitive to them for inter-island flights. Maybe the governor will change this, but he...

    After forking over an insane amount for the luau, you will have to buy your own coke?

    We went to the Paradise Cove luau within walking distance from Aulani. There was a coupon in the Entertainment book and I believe we paid less than $100 per person. Welcome drinks were included and I remember having drinks during dinner, but I can't remember what it was. WE had a great time...

    Poll: What Will Be Closed When Aulani Re-opens Nov 1?

    I think the lazy river will be closed. Between disinfecting the pool floats, people who just swim around without using the floats, traffic jams in the river and the amount of lifeguards needed for it, I bet it does not open. On our first visit shortly after they opened, the lazy river was open...

    Well, we paid $80 pp and bought 175 pts. You do the math. I'm not sure what the current prices are.

    Aulani reopening date

    Glad I cancelled our October 26th reservation a month ago. I can't imagine going there until they are fully reopened. I expect that the pools will not all be open soon.

    How far in advance is Aulani canceling reservations?

    We were scheduled to arrive 10/26 and I cancelled about a month ago. I can't trust Gov Ige to keep his promises of opening with a negative Covid test and I wasn't willing to lose all that money for a drip from NY to Hawaii on a maybe. Even if Aulani opens on 10/15, will all of the facilities...

    Is there any advantage to booking a cruise through Costco?
