We've stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki in a junior suite and that worked great for my family of 4. It's next door to the Royal Hawaiian and very centrally located. But to be honest, I think you'll enjoy your beach time more at Turtle Bay and Aulani than at Waikiki. All the beaches in Hawaii are...

I would leave your Maine winter ❄⛄🥶 far behind and visit during January-March ☀🌈 . We are also DVC and since parking is free to members, generally rent a car at the airport the entire trip. This is great for getting to the resort, making Costco runs, visiting anywhere in Oahu (can't get too...

While they are both called Luaus, with a buffet and fire dancers; they are actually quite different experiences. I would say Aulani's is what you would want from a resort luau: great food, good singers, and an excellent story through the show. The pre-show activities are fine, nothing...

Whatever you decide, you might also want to request a high floor. There will be some natural noise from folks around the pool with Ocean View as well as some live music from around the pool in the evening. There may also be luau noise (whenever the luau restarts) in the evenings from Island...

You could have fooled me! Very nice trip report and your photos are excellent. You have a beautiful family and are blessed to be able to enjoy some quality time in paradise. Thank you for sharing and we are all looking forward to the rest of the trip.

Wonderful trip report, thank you for sharing! :thumbsup2 YIKES indeed! o_O Is capacity set by the resort or by Oahu? Seems weird that Disney can change the numbers as it suits them.

DVC does have reciprocity at many of the resorts. However, there are seasonal blackout dates, as well as some resorts that do not allow pool hopping at any time (i.e. Grand Floridian). https://disneyvacationclub.disney.go.com/discounts-perks-offers/recreation-relaxation/pools/ Resort hotel...

Great review and trip report, thank you for sharing! Haven't been to Aulani in January but I would think it would be an attractive "snow bird" destination. Maybe a lot of DVC Canucks are hunkered down this winter. I'm glad you had a chance to enjoy it crowd free. We love the resort and Oahu in...

Looks like the Shire is south, near Champions Gate, another popular neighborhood. We rented last year at Windsor Westside and enjoyed it (AirBnB),. Only thing I wasn't prepared for was how long the "commute" was in the morning and especially at night after WDW. That 20-30 minute drive felt like...

Aloooooooo-ha "V" (aka StayAwake) - Thank you so much for sharing photos and reviews of your trip to Aulani. My wife still wants to wait before we take any trips plus California is still in Shelter-in-Place. But at least we can enjoy memories of your trip! Mahalo, Steve

My wife and I sometime split meals as she eats like a bird. I also don't recall having any issues or extra charges to split. In fact, they are typically quite generous. When splitting a entire, I've found they will plate it with half the entree but full sides on both plates! (SciFi Drive-in at...

Yes, just keep in mind that you will have to change gondolas at certain stations: CBR - This resort station is the Skyliner "Hub". Folks need to disembark and to transfer to Epcot, DHS, or back to AoA/POP. Epcot/DHS - The theme parks are the end of the line. You will need to get out and queue...

Yup, that's exactly how it works for me. I typically reserve a mid-size/intermediate. Then regardless of what's been assigned to me, I go "shopping" in the Gold section to see if I can upgrade myself. In MCO, Hertz keeps all the keys in the cars, so no stopping at the counter...just pick...
