    Studio

    I was thinking the same thing - these three are a great mix. Looking forward to seeing others come in on rotation - especially Theresa. One of the funniest episodes ever was her reading the news :rotfl2:

    Aulani Oceanview worth the extra points??

    We've only stayed in hotel rooms - first was poolside gardens view, we were on the second floor and could see trees and a glimpse of the lazy river. Most recent trip we paid extra for ocean view and the unanimous consensus was that yes, it was worth it!

    Airport Transportation

    Another vote for Charley’s - there are 4 of us with bags so Uber was going to be risky if we got a small car, and UberXL can be pricey. We could book a minivan through Charley’s that fitted us all nicely. Also used them from Aulani to Waikiki, I was keeping an eye on Uber for that trip too but...

    3 islands, 2 weeks, 1 amazing honeymoon! COMPLETED 1/14!

    Sadly (or luckily?) nothing quite like it. We do have Body Shop, that’s as close as I can think of but they really aren’t the same! It is in Australia and I have a couple trips a year for work so invariably stock up for them…

    3 islands, 2 weeks, 1 amazing honeymoon! COMPLETED 1/14!

    I have teenage daughters who are CRAZY about this store. We don’t have it at home (NZ) so is always the first place we hit up and they take home a haul… Their obsession finally came in handy when the pandemic hit as we must have had 20 or so mini hand sanitisers we could finally use!

    Aulani Villas & Views -- Updated 03/21/2017

    For anyone interested in hotel room views, this is from room 936. Booked Ocean View and was hoping for this aide, not the ones in the short wing overlooking the Four Seasons. The photo doesn’t really do the view justice…

    Disney Family Museum detour

    Our 2015 Disneyland holiday started in San Francisco (flew in there) where we visited the excellent museum. We had a few nights there then made our way down highway 1/Big Sur for a couple of nights then across to Yosemite for 2 more nights before finally making our way to Disneyland. It was an...

    free wifi

    I was there back in January and don't recall issues even from the beach - was just browsing on my phone though so no big data downloads or anything.

    Best Ko Olina Snooty Restaurant?

    Not a snootie foodie but I do like a good meal, and had one at Ama Ama in January. We enjoyed the food, I had the wine pairing, service was excellent, and the views divine. Definitely in my top 10 meal occasions for all round - not exceptional in any one area but thought the whole was greater...

    Beware of Very Cold Lazy River

    Here now, my watch recorded the temp as 26C so around 82F, it was lovely and did a couple of circuits. And holy heck - first visit - this place is AMAZING!!!

    Is anyone finding car rental fares still high?

    for those booking through Costco, where are the pickup and dropoff locations? I only want a car for maybe 3 days when we are in Waikiki.

    Just missed the $150 resort credit offer, what are the odds Disney would extend it if I call and ask nicely?

    Looking at the Aulani website they are promoting 25% off 4 night stays for most nights August 23 through November 18, maybe check with your Dreams agent if they have booked this rate for you already? Not sure how limited the nights are though, it could be no rooms available for your dates...

    How many of you had your first Disney park experience as an adult?

    From New Zealand so Disney vacations were never an option growing up, though I was aware of Disneyland from the odd kid at school who went plus of course Disney on t.v. I was 39 for our first visit, kids were 4 and 7, I had been to USA a few times with work but this was our first visit as a...

    Are you still “quarantining” or have you resumed most activities?

    New Zealand here. Our first case wasFeb 28th, in less than 4 weeks after that we locked down hard, with everything shut except for essential services (mostly food supply and utilities). We stayed this way for 4-5 weeks before then allowing fast food to open. This was a little over 2 weeks then...

    Movies where the end suprized you

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - love how Tarantino rewrites history to suit his movies! He similarly rewrote WW2 in Inglorious Basterds

    Disneyland Hotels worth the price?

    This is how we tour when visiting DLR. Coming from New Zealand we like to have both the parks experience and the hotel/resort experience, so happily pay the (still painful) premium for on site, as we feel we get the value from it. We have also visited WDW and stayed at POR and Beach Club - GCH...
