Trip Itinerary for Next Week!! (June 17th)

[DisneyMountainWoman]

Here is our family plan for Aulani. Is there anything I should change or add? We were here last year so we hit a lot of Oahu highlights last year and everyone this time wanted more resort/beach time. So that is what this is... resort/beach time focused. We are from Colorado. We are a mom, dad and 6 year old with grandparents, so 6 all together. We are newish DVC owners here. This is all the planned stuff... so other things we will fit in randomly like walking to secret beach or paradise cove for snorkeling or grabbing food from ABC or Cafe.

looks like you've got a good handle on planning for this trip! A couple of suggestions:
Lunch at The Beach House on a day that you are going to the north shore.
A visit to the flea market at Aloha stadium. I believe that operates on Sat, Sun & Wed, but you should check.

I don’t have any tips for your itinerary as we’ve only been once, but it looks pretty good to me. We went to Aulani last year and also hit many of the highlights since we thought we’d never be back. Now, we are headed there again in Nov. and I don’t have many plans since we just want to do mostly resort/beach times with a little bit of island touring scattered in.

I also really enjoyed your last trip report so I’m looking forward to another. We were resale only DVC members last trip, but just got our blue card so I love hearing all the dvc member stuff you get/do. I also love the activities you plan. I told my DH I wanted to do one of the paddle board workout sessions and he thought it was hysterical. He said he can’t watch to watch as I fall in.

Have a great trip!

You have to do the paddle boarding workout session it is great and yes you will fall into the water at some point, lol. It is funny.
