Hey guys, perhaps you can offer some advice or help with some of my fears.
My Fiance and I have decided that we want to get married at Aulani in the summer of 2014. She is a teacher, so the summer is basically all we have to work with.
We will be booking a combo of rooms for ourselves and family, totaling 18 people, split between a 2 bedroom, a 1 bedroom and 2 studios.
Here is where the fear comes in...we can book our wedding date 1 year out, but cannot get our rooms until 7 as we own at BLT. The only way we are able to afford this wedding in Aulani is to use our points.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks as to doing the best we can to gurantee rooms for a week, or any specific weeks of the summe that seem to be slower.
We can pretty much leave June 27th, 2014, and anytime in between then and the middle of August.
Any help would be greatly appreciated it.
Personally I would be nervous about trying to grab that many units at 7 months and I would want to be working on my wedding plans before 7 months...but then we're also a little "points challenged" and would be on a tight budget for using them. Do you have enough points to book any type of unit that is available or are you limited to having to book only certain views (ie all must be standard or island view)? I think that would severely limit your odds. Have you considered the idea of contacting David's service - maybe you could rent out your BLT points and use that money to then rent points from an Aulani owner so you could book earlier than 7 months?
