We’re doing a family trip next June and debating whether to stay only at Aulani, only at Grand Hyatt Kauai, or split the trip (3 nights Aulani + 5 nights Kauai). We love fun/resort activities but also like ending trips on a calm, relaxing note. Curious what others recommend based on your experience. Thanks! 🙏 kids (6) and (8)

For those that have been to Hanauma Bay, is it worth the "hassle" vs simply staying in the 4 lagoons along the Aulani coast area? In other words, what does a visit to Hanauma Bay deliver that one does not get at Aulani?

Thanks!!

Can you book through snorkeling through the app? I didn’t see a place to do that or do you have to show up in person?

Has anyone in this sub traveled to Aulani the week leading up to Christmas? How was the weather? Were there as many people as one would expect during the summer?

We have been to Aullani during the summer and I am wondering if traveling to Aulani during the week leading up to Christmas would be better.

For those staying right now, what’s it like? We were there a month ago and it was beautiful. Hopefully it’s not too bad and you can still enjoy your time there. Stay safe all!

We're supposed to arrive tomorrow and were wondering how things are looking there? Are the pools going to be open? Is there a lot of damage that would be closing down activities on the island? Should we be rescheduling or could we expect a pretty normal vacation if we arrive tomorrow afternoon?

Hi - we're coming next week, and my son is allergic to wheat, chicken eggs, cow dairy, and nuts. We have a unit with a full kitchen, and wondering if there is a naturals store, co-op or place we can stop within an hour (or even grocery delivery would be a bonus) that would have alternative foods like gluten-free, goat / sheep cheese/dairy-free etc? Otherwise, we'll check a cooler duct taped shut with things we need for meals.

I'm hoping someone can help me understand how DVC point rental works at Aulani. Will I still have access to use the Kids Club? Parking? I want to make sure we do everything correctly--renting points seems to be the way to go but I've never done it and want to have access to all or most of the good stuff. Especially the kids club for my eight year old. Please help!

Hello
I would like to recognize a few amazing staff members at the resort. Any idea how I can go about doing this? I want to make sure it gets to their managers. TY

I’m seeing mixed responses, can someone confirm if they sell these at the resort? Thanks

Is there a rule against kids and swimming facemasks in the pools?

Coming to Aulani in early September. Wondering what beach seating is like, along with paid beach seating? We want to do 1-2 beach days. Have cabanas for our pool days!

Hello, does anyone know how far in advance one can try to book a cabana? The last time we tried booking, we were SOL.

Trying to book our Luau in September for Sept 8th... But it seems like Most of September is either rebooked or they don't have shows ..

What can I do to get tickets? - Can I still get tickets?!

My job does this incentive program where you get a credit you can use within 6 months if you work a certain amount in a month. I have a $400 credit and want to spend it on a really good dinner for my partner and I while we’re at Aulani. Any recommendations (at Aulani or nearby)?

Hey everyone! We’re two childless Disney adults and going in September. I’ve spent a few days at Aulani before, but my partner hasn’t and wants to get the most out of the experience. What tours, activities, etc. did you absolutely love and would you recommend for two adults?

Going in September, is the Luau on break? No time slots show listed

Hi everyone! We stayed at Aulani over a year ago and our kids wonder at least weekly why this message showed up on our TV in the suite. I searched the web, Reddit and ChatGPT and now it’s made me curious myself. I guess I should have asked the desk when it popped up, but anyone know? Thanks!

I should add I know what the compound words mean…individually but ???
