8 Reasons To SKIP Disney's Aulani 

I agree with a lot of the things you pointed out, but we are Aulani lovers. We went in September 2021, and have been trying to go back ever since. We have kids so that's just part of our lives. We plan to go in September this year! Can wait to be on that beach eating my dole whip! We rented points for the "cheapest" room category, standard hotel room for 9 nights. Last time we spent so much on the view and weren't really in the room to enjoy it.

Oh wow! I am DVC and used points there two times, right after Thanksgiving...resort was only 1/3 occupied, Never had a wait for elevators!I loved guessing the songs they played and finding the Menehune! I had a rental car and had gone to Costco and Target on way to check in, as they are also in Ko Olina, and saved a ton by cooking in Villa and on the grills out behind Ama Ama. I did lose a phone and camera on the beach when it was unattended, but otherwise had a blast :-) Anone can go to a DVC Broker and rent an Aulani villa for about 40% less than direct... Aloha!

Love your videos guys 🥹💜

We just returned from our 4th visit to Aulani (3/17-24); our “kids” range from 19-26 and we are DVC members so the room cost (and parking) don’t really phase us. I agree that we would love the Waikolohe Stream to stay open later (it’s my happy place when I’m there) but it was actually open until 8 pm while we were there this time and the pools were open until 10 pm (Spring Break hours they said). We didn’t have too much trouble with waiting for elevators, just the occasional traffic jam but I’d say only 20% of the time. Otherwise, agree with quite a few of your comments, like the app is definitely not great. However, while food is expensive and you’re a captive audience, everything in Hawaii is expensive…. On one of our previous trips, we couldn’t get a reservation at Aulani for our entire stay, so we did a split stay with an AirBnB on the north shore - it was a great vacation - best of both worlds!

Kids at a Disney Resort? I'm Shocked! Shocked I say :D

Interesting to say that kids and crowds are part of the issue when you enjoy visiting Disney Parks. Food is expensive all over Hawaii and I found the food at the resort better than most places I ate out around the island. I do agree that things should stay open longer.

They probably got rid of it because of unsupervised childen

Just skip Disney

Disney is too expensive.

I been getting Disney sucks now, videos all week 😂

Don't think that the rooms were too expensive. My wife and I, and our adult child all loved staying there. It was our first stay there, but will definitely not be the last as it's our new favorite hotel in all of Hawaii. I do agree that they need to bring back room service a resort of this caliber needs to have that option.
