Hey DISBoard Fam -
Planning our first ever Hawaii trip for our family of 3 (Mom, Dad and 7 yr old son). We are Disney lovers, so the idea of staying at Aulani is a dream for me. However my husband is leery of 1. the high cost of Aulani and 2. Wanting this to be a "non-Disney" trip
So my question is this, has anyone done a split stay with one of the more popular Waikiki hotels? What was your experience, and if you did would you recommend Aulani as the first half or last half of a 6 night trip?
We currently are booked in a 1 bed suite (not a villa) for around the same price per night as renting a studio through one of the reputable DVC rental companies. If we opted to rent, do any of the companies have any sort of cancellation policy, even 60+ days in advance?
