    Meals at Four Seasons

    We dined at Noe in the Four Seasons, it was a highlight meal of our trip. We will go again in May and also plan to try the brunch at LaHiki, it gets great reviews.

    Gluten Free Groceries?

    We were just there in June, but it’s possible that some prices have fallen. I was glad that we didn’t purchase anything once I saw the selection at Target. My kids are very basic, gf waffles, chicken nuggets, granola and pancake mix...so were able to find everything we needed, at much cheaper...

    Gluten Free Groceries?

    We stopped into the WF near Ala Moana and found their prices really, really high. While I understand prices are higher on the island, we found Costco and Target very similar to what we pay at home, not a big noticeable difference. I did see that at WF when we went, over what we normally...

    Gluten Free Groceries?

    We found the target had a very good selection of GF items, things we can’t even get at home. We are looking forward to visiting the Target again to get some of our found favorites!

    Online check-in

    1. It depends, it may be ready...but not something to count on. 2. We you pull up to the resort there is a “welcome desk” out front that you will be greeted by CM and they have your room keys there, just let them know you did the online check in. 3. I don’t have an answer for that, we stay on...

    Modify or Cancel/Rebook

    We just closed on an Aulani contract, so this is a new decision, but I don't want to hold a reservation that someone else could use. Thank you for your response!

    Modify or Cancel/Rebook

    We have a BLT reservation that we will be changing at the 7 month mark to AUL (booked BLT at 11 months before we decided to go to AUL). Is it better to cancel current reservation and book AUL at 7 months or should I wait until the 7 month mark and modify the current reservation but at AUL? I...

    Transfer Points or Link Reservations?

    Thank you...that is exactly what I wanted to know! I figured there was a snag that I wasn't thinking about, losing that hour may or may not be an issue, but better to be safe than sorry! Thanks again!

    Transfer Points or Link Reservations?

    We have just closed on a new contract, member number has been assigned, just waiting for points to be loaded. We want to make a reservation at the new home resort (still ahead of the 7 month window) but will need points from our existing contract to complete the stay. We want to book 4 nights...

    New to Aulani...is it worth the long flight?

    I agree...you just never know with the airline logic. I am not sure what is going on with the trips in May/June thru ATL, the smaller planes then have higher prices, maybe that is their plan. OP just be happy you are going to Hawaii, if you are lucky to get on the Airbus...it is a fantastic...

    New to Aulani...is it worth the long flight?

    It may depend on the time of year too. We flew in May this year and again next May it is still the 767 (at a premium price). I had looked after the change and it seemed to be a new change and one going forward, at least the summer months. I agree, the Airbus is worth the extra, but I wouldn’t...

    New to Aulani...is it worth the long flight?

    How far are you from Atlanta? We flew to Honolulu by way of Atlanta (starting in Buffalo) and had a great flight. It was on Delta and it was an Airbus 330 plane, so it had 2-4-2 seat configurations which made it very comfortable for us. We were in standard coach, but were able to get up to...

    New to Aulani...is it worth the long flight?

    We live in NC and LOVE Aulani, to us, it is absolutely worth the flight to get there! Hawaii and Aulani are absolutely beautiful, just have to know its a long flight but so worth it once you get there. We have flown Charlotte to Atlanta or Salt Lake City then on to Honolulu. Our next trip we...

    Closing Time!!

    No, they were not international. It did go smoothly, I wished the sellers would’ve returned docs sooner, but I’m sure I was in more of a hurry than them. It was very fast once they returned them. Hoping points will be loaded soon.

    Closing Time!!

    We are current DVC members and added on. I went on to the DVC member page this morning and noticed that I could see the contract, but the points are not available yet.

    Need Advice - AUL or SSR DVC

    We paid $85/point. Look at the ROFR thread, it shows lots of good info about contracts, pricing, points, etc. It helped us make what we felt was a good price to account for the higher MF. For us we really focused on making sure we didn’t purchase more points than needed to help offset the MF.
