Yes we did that in December, they let us park for free for 30 minutes. We ran through real quick.
Cool, so you can be open about the fact you're not staying there?
I wonder whether you can book a meal there without being a guest, any ideas?
Yep, locals do this. If you spend a minimum amount (I want to say its $50, but can't remember exactly) and show your receipt at the parking lot then you get your parking fee waived. We're DVC so we didn't need the parking waived but I've seen it in other people's TR.I wonder whether you can book a meal there without being a guest, any ideas?

Is it possible to visit Aulani for a walk around without staying there?

If you spend $35 at any F&B location, or the Spa, parking (valet or self) will be free for 4 hours.
Meryll I hope you had a nice lunch!
Thanks, we're not there until next Friday (was planning early before!)
Now we're getting close, how does the parking situation work? Do we have to pay something on entry and claim it back, or would we normally get charged as we leave so just show our receipt on the way out?
We went to Aulani and stayed the morning and had lunch just over a month ago. We had our parking validated at Ama Ama when we had lunch. We even used the valet service so the tip was all we had to pay for parking.
It sounds like you get a parking ticket stub, its gets validated wherever you spend your moola, then show/insert the validated ticket when you exit the parking structure.
