just bumping up
Thank you for this thread. We are headed to Aulani in April with our 4 children. We will be arriving from Japan and are excited just to be able to read. haha Our kids will be 16, 14, 11 and 5. Is there enough for them to do? Is renting a car a good idea?
Definitely rent a car. I am here right now and couldn't imagine being here without one so much to see and do around the island. Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

I know the 1 bedrooms have a full size coffee maker - do they still only give you 2 packs of coffee? Is housekeeping generous to refill daily? If I wait to buy extra at Target when I get there, do the "pre-packed" bags fit?
Sorry I am a Keurig junkie here at home.
What month were you there? Wonder if you can see them in June.
I'm glad we decided on an "every other day" schedule. We alternated a lazy day at the resort and a day exploring the island, even if just for a few hours.
I wish I had known more about Honolulu traffic patterns and getting to the other side of the island early in the morning. We jumped in the carpool lane, but it forced us off the highway and into downtown Honolulu before we could find a chance to get out. Not expecting that! Instead of a picturesque sunrise, we were trapped in the city and spent awhile getting out.
I used Yelp to find some good places to eat, but then again, I felt like we spent a lot of time leaving the resort in search of food. I never thought I'd say this, but next time I'm buying groceries.

Yes it's the same as I'm in a one bedroom villa now. It's also the same as the 1 at GCV. It uses regular filters.We were in a 2bdrm but I assume it would be the same. We had two packs and since we were staying on points, housekeeping did not enter the room until day 4, at which time they replenished everything. You might consider getting the refillable mug for coffee, although DH said the coffee wasn't that good.
I brought them from home thinking about convenience. We all are much happier with $2 filters and a bag if ground Starbucks (or even 8 o'clock ) over the packs.
