A completely different world than when school is out for Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter break….Been here all week, zero chair problems at the pool and on the beach.

It’s amazing the taste and smell memories that are conjured up when I look at those pictures…. Enjoy tour trip!Pool chair situation at 8:15 this morning, as viewed from my lanai (and this is just what’s visible):

Exactly why we don’t go during holidays or the middle of summer. Fall and spring for us every time.A completely different world than when school is out for Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter break….
Interesting. It must be the lack of cash guests, since the DVC points rooms are nearly all booked for the next few days.Exactly why we don’t go during holidays or the middle of summer. Fall and spring for us every time.

Luckily, it does work for length of stay, so like me you only have to make that 3 AM Pacific call once.The 90-day booking window for the casabellas in front of ama ama. Does it work like ADR such that I can reserve for the length of stay? At midnight local time? Hoping I don’t have to wake up to call at 3am Pacific each morning Also, does DVC discount apply like for the ones on the beach? Thanks!
Thank you! Yeah I haven’t ever booked a cabana or lanai at AUL as it’s just hubs and me. But we love the casabellas, since I don’t like laying out in the sun.Luckily, it does work for length of stay, so like me you only have to make that 3 AM Pacific call once.
DVC discount does apply, I had forgotten all about it, but the agent checking us in noted it was already automatically applied.

Are you there now? 6AM seems really early, especially for early June— I guess the summer rush has begun?Someone may have already mentioned this but get your pool wristbands and towels at night for the next day. You will be ready in the morning and not have to stand in line at 8am. Sadly, guest are out at 6am saving chairs.
Yes, here now. First row of chairs almost all taken by 8am.Are you there now? 6AM seems really early, especially for early June— I guess the summer rush has begun?
First row by 8 is less surprising than first row by 6. I think when we were there husband had to be out at the chairs by 6:50 for the chairs with the best views? We never wanted to be at the pool so no idea how/when they get booked.Yes, here now. First row of chairs almost all taken by 8am.
Getting chairs that are together late afternoon is like a scavenger hunt. We circled around the whole pool area then split up and couldn't find any chairs. Singles here and there though. A member can assist in looking.Are all chairs a battle?
Like If you just want *a* place to sit in the general pool area - don’t care if it’s shaded, don’t care about location, etc, is that still a battle in the kid heavy season?
Are their better times of day? Can I assume afternoon is better?
