    Aulani or Disneyland First?

    I vote Disneyland and then aulani but maybe my vote shouldn’t count??? We were set to do Disneyland but chose to cancel and go to Rome instead. I truly don’t feel like I missed out. This being said aulani is like no other. I’ve done Disney world and Disney cruises and never left with the feeling...

    Kind of unrelated to Aulani. I need Maui advice!

    Was it at least good produce??? I’ll likely avoid that. Thanks for the heads up. However I’m sure I’ve been in that exact situation elsewhere. I paid 12 dollars for a dove chocolate bar because my child insisted at a port in Cozumel on a Disney Cruise. ‍♀️

    Kind of unrelated to Aulani. I need Maui advice!

    Also on a different note they want to make the trip to pearl harbour. I’ve been twice and wouldn’t reccomend because you cannot walk the Arizona memorial but I’d like some input from others. If you thought it might be your only visit to Hawaii would you go despite the closure. Even with the cost...

    Kind of unrelated to Aulani. I need Maui advice!

    Thanks for the advice and tips! I tend to not pay for a tour if I can do it free! There’s certain levels of vacationing I can justify and then there’s others I cannot. I have an 8 year old who’s on the autism spectrum but very high functioning and salt water is not his thing on any level so...

    Flight questions

    I paid 700 with a stop for Maui in August. My flights in November to Rome are cheaper. Peak times matter significantly. Depending on when in January you might be better to wait. If you are talking when kids are out of school book early. If it’s a random January date though you’ll likely get...

    Flight questions

    Are you in the Austin area or Houston area? Last trip we took was last October and I paid 420 for round trip flights but we had a layover in lax. This was out of dfw granted.

    Flight questions

    They may have sold out. You can track flights using google flights. Idk the best time really. Find a price you can justify and take the jump and don’t look again. About a month before I booked my flight to Maui I almost booked flights because they had 540 dollar nonstop round trip flights and...

    Trip Report - 16 Days in Hawaii - Maui, Oahu, and Aulani!

    I’m totally creeping on you for any Maui advice. I’ve read old Lahaina is the best luau but I’m hesitant with the lack of fire dancing. This is our third luau but my parents are coming along and it’s their first trip to Hawaii and possibly their only one ever and I want the best luau experience...

    Please help!

    Throwing this out there. Idk what your expected usage of the balcony is. We had ocean view our first trip and loved it. Second trip we had a lovely view of the parking lot and didn’t use it and kept the curtains closed. I feel like if you don’t have the beach anyways no loss. We did the same for...

    Pearl Harbor

    Any idea still on how long til it opens back up to walk Arizona memorial? My parents want to try to make the trip from our trip in Maui and I almost wonder if its worth it. I mean maybe if they don’t plan to ever make it back it might be. I thought it would be open by now. It’s been closed what...

    Departing Aulani next Saturday tons of groceries left over

    Other people have also left drinks especially on the tables outside the elevators on random floors. Harder to leave groceries obviously. Hopefully they find a home. :)

    Kind of unrelated to Aulani. I need Maui advice!

    Starting off. Normally our family visits aulani. We’ve been twice in the last 2 years and wanted a change up this year. I need advice on Maui! If you’ve been and done a luau do you have recommendations? We are staying in Honua kai. Outside of that we don’t have a ton of plans yet. We travel...

    Advice on Best Rates for Flights to Honolulu

    Okay good places to check for a stop over is San Francisco, lax, Las Vegas, Seattle, and I’ll come back if I think of more. I’d say best day to book a flight is likely on a Tuesday. I’ve seen flights out of Dallas as low as 320 but with a layover. It’s kind of a hobby of mine to watch flight...

    Villa Standard view or $150 to upgrade to an island view.

    If you were upgrading to ocean view definitely. Our first trip we had a beach view and it was beautiful. Last trip was the parking lot. we never even went on the balcony.

    Favorite non Aulani thing to do

    We’ve done kualoa ranch twice. If you are going to do it absolutely go for 2 hours. This last time we couldn’t get anything but 1 and it left a lot to be desired from the first experience. North shore is awesome! Watching the surfers, shaved ice, Giovanni’s, and we also did north shore shark...

    How's the weather this time of year?

    Yep! Without fail when we were there I’d wake at 3:30 am and just curse the clock. My husband and son didn’t seem to struggle like I did. We are bringing melatonin this time around. Just wait til you get back home and are set on Hawaii time. Hope you are enjoying it. Of all the trips we’ve taken...

    Aulani deals ?

    We go next week. I know we got a fairly good discount on the room as well as 100 dollar resort credit on top of what she gave us.
