Thank you all for any advice. Also should I download the disney app?

Listen. If you’re investing this much money or points a night and the most basic thing like towels runs out outside and inside. But then concierge tells you to kick rocks cause you didn’t have your room key and the only thing your wife wanted to do was swim before dinner because you got here so late from traveling and that couldn’t happen? It feels like such an operational failure and all you get is a “Sorry” is so annoying beyond belief. That’s my rant. This would never have happened at the four seasons.

Are there mini fridges in the regular rooms?

Hey everyone! Trying to get a sense from folks if Alauni is a good option for two adults. I love Disney but that is not the driving factor here - it seems like Aulani has great pricing and great location during the time we are looking to go. Has anyone gone as just a couple with no kids? We are looking to book our trip soon and trying to make a final decision on what resort we are going to stay at!

We’ve gotten the exclusive Christmas ornaments every year for the past eight years, but unfortunately moved from Hawaii a few months ago and didn’t pick one up before we left. Does anyone know what they look like this year and whether Kalepa’s store carries them (or if they’ve even been released yet)? I’m talking about the ears ornaments with the year printed on them.

Thanks!

Hello! I am looking to book Aulani for five nights in June for our 20th anniversary. I have seen in years past sale rates that included June for 25% off for five nights, but right now there are only winter offers available. Does anyone have any idea as to when special offers for June typically become available?

Is the lazy river at Aulani too dangerous or not pleasant for a 17 month old? Like is there a chance that he would accidentally slip away from my arms? Or get a ton of water splashed in his face?

Is one night and two days too short of a stay to enjoy all the major events? Any recommendations to pack in as much as possible? I don’t think we can do the Lua’u in the evening due to the time difference and our toddler’s bed time so we are already limited. Considering an extra night but we have 3 nights in Waikiki after Aulani.

Looking at the make overs for my 7 year old. It looks like you need to select the package and outfit at time of booking. Does anyone know if you can change these when you get there? I don’t know what princess or package we are really going to want once we get there and see the dresses.

I'm here right now. They definitely have some neat items . I'm probably just getting a souvenir to commemorate my trip but I'm wondering if there's anything in particular that might have value to collectors out there.

Hi! We are 1 week out from our stay at Aulani and we're thinking of what we need to pack. My MIL is a DVC member and gifted us our stay at the resort. I know the rooms are a little different from the regular rooms. Do they come with shampoo, conditioner, and soap for the shower? Or should we plan to bring those things?

TIA! So excited!

We will be staying at aulani during Valentine’s Day 2025 and was curious of any ideas for what to do as a romantic activity for the day or evening on aulani or close to the resort

Hey all I am hoping someone can help us out with a copycat recipe for Olole room’s Kalua Pork Gratin.

It was a surprise hit and we’d love to recreate it for some of the holiday parties. I have the basics (Kalua pork, caramelized onion, cream cheese, and parmigiano reggiano), but before I take it to the laboratory— I’d gladly take copycats or tried and trues from those who have done it at home!

Edited to add a forgotten ingredient!

Wondering if there will be any changes to the menus on the day of Thanksgiving? Also, with Moana 2 coming out, would there be any possibility of an early screening (movie on the lawn)? I haven’t seen anything posted about the movie schedule on the app yet. Or will they not have one because it’s Thanksgiving?

Hi all! I’m hoping someone can help me with something…

My mom just got back from a trip to Aulani and she can’t stop telling me about this robe she saw for sale at the spa.

She said it was beige, full-length, had a Mickey silhouette on the back, was possibly Barefoot Dreams and cost ~$220.

I have absolutely no luck finding it online. She never buys herself anything and I would love to be able to get it for her for Christmas.

Thank you for any leads!

Is the resort doing anything special for Moana 2? I know that kind of thing is normal at Theme Park Resorts, but not sure if that type of thing happens on Aulani.

Hi all! Considering buying DVC to make more trips to Aulani. Would go every couple years with trips to Disney world in between. Should I buy points at Aulani? Or at a DW resort?

We returned from our trip about a month ago, and while we were there, we noticed the Mickey Table Lamp for sale at the gift shop. Although we didn’t purchase it at the time due to the price, we've decided we’d like to go ahead and buy it now.

Would it be possible to place the order over the phone and have it shipped to us? Normally, I’d assume they wouldn’t do phone orders, but I recall they mentioned that, due to its size, the lamp is only available for shipping and currently on order.

Hey All, headed down for the week of 11/11-11/15. Any chance there will be any holiday decor/trees up during this time? I know the parks start holiday stuff around mid-Nov, so I was curious if Aulani was the same. Thanks!
