Spa day pass?

[eeyoresmom]

I just read a price list on the WDWinfo site that lists "Spa access and use $45" Can anyone confirm this and do you know what it includes? I would love to experience the plunge pools, shower etc. without getting a treatment. Don't really like anyone touching me, haha.

From memory the day pass was discontinued. You have to book a full service treatment to be given access to the hydrotherapy garden (eg I don’t think a pedicure or manicure counts, more like a massage or facial?)

That's what I thought . Thank you

I always suggest going to the official Disney Aulani site for hopefully most up-to-date info. https://www.disneyaulani.com/

You can always call the spa directly at 808-674-6300 for questions

I thought I remembered someone posting here that if someone is getting a treatment, they could buy a sort of companion pass so they could enjoy the amenities together. Maybe get your DH a massage instead LOL. I’d suggest calling though—I could be totally making that up ha

We have tried that on visits over the past ~5 years and been told no.

Thanks for correcting. Maybe I just remembered someone saying they wish they offered that. If I ever get back, the spa is on my to-do list!!

Yes, you can buy a pass if you are a DVC member for a friend (if you book a massage or facial service).
It's listed on the DVC member website under the member benefits for Aulani

They did offer such a pass in the past (ie before our first visit in 2014), but discontinued it for some reason.

ETA: I see conflicting info above. This seems to be new since our visit in late-May/early-June this (2019) year.

FWIW, we spent maybe 30-40 minutes at the hydrotherapy gardens. I wouldn't pay $65 per person solely to experience them without a treatment. They are unique and a cool enhancement to the spa experience, but its essentially a cold plunge pool, an outdoor shower, and some jacuzzis no different than the one for use by all resort guests.

Thanks everyone. Our DD's surprised us with the signature massage experience so I guess I'm getting touched
