    Aulani Villas & Views -- Updated 03/21/2017

    Helenk the Ewa (Phase 1) high floor seems like it would have the best straight on island view with no obstructions, but also would be overLooking the main resort road if that matters. The elevators drop you off on the ground floor which empties out into the pool area. BTW I wish I was in...

    Aulani Villas & Views -- Updated 03/21/2017

    We just got back last week. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We requested highest floor with room ending in 52 or 58, 2nd choice ending 70, 76 or 82. We were looking to see the sunset from our balcony. We were in room 1552. This is from our balcony looking at the Waianae Tower Balcony looking...

    What is the best building to request at Aulani?

    Pepperandchips that is an amazing view. DW and I are going first week of April for early anniversary celebration and are getting a 1br ocean view (which I assume your studio was). What I am wondering is could you see the sunset from your room or was it behind you where I should think about...

    Two Questions: Cabanas and DVC Points Charge

    Has anyone rented the Cabana at the adult pool. DW and I are going the first week of March and wondered if one would be worth the $325.00 or would we be better off just getting a few lounge chairs and spending that money somewhere else? Thanks in advance for any input

    About to buy into DVC

    There are some “perks” to direct over resale. I am not knowledgeable so don’t want to mis-lead As far as I know you can not switch home resorts. You “own” at your home resort and would have to sell and then purchase at a new resort to switch. Use Year is also important. If you are a summer...

    Who on earth would stop in Bay Lake Tower?!

    Not sure of the studio size, never stayed in one, but my wife is not fond of the modern decor. For her it doesn’t feel comfy, but most modern decor is not really comfy. Other than that, which is minor, we absolutely love BLT. the view, close proximity to MK and monorail. It is not our home...

    OKW View High Floor vs. Ground Floor

    OKW is our “first home” resort back in 93. We have stayed there numerous times on all levels. With the property so massive and very mature vegetation view is really hit and miss although we never thought of view when staying OKW or SS because the buildings are not high rise like BLT or near the...

    "You're going to Disney with HOW MANY people?" Extended Family Trip August 2019 NEW 8/22

    Sounds like a fantastic trip. I know your plans changed and you are now staying at POP but I will put in my 2 cents for the Grand Villas. We have been DVC Members since 1993 (then it was just us and our son and daughter but has grown over the years like our DVC points have :earsboy:) and do a...

    Saratoga Springs or Old Key West

    If your choice I’d between 2 studios or a 2bdr the main question would be how well do you get along with the other family. If you get along great then the 2bdr is by far the best choice. You will have a lot of extra room to all relax and enjoy each other in the room. Have amenities to prepare...

    Hi All, So please excuse me if this was already discussed on this thread but after reading 20 pages I figured I would just ask. We are going to be at WDW for 21 nights staying at 3 different resorts (GF, AK & BLT all on DVC points) with lots of family. Will these mugs be good for all 21 days...

    Questions about ABD China

    We have been on 4 AVB and loved them all. The interesting thing is that we are not foodies so we always had a problem with all of the different foods. I know most people enjoy all of the cultural foods but we are just plain janes. Then on our 2nd one the guide suggested ordering off the “kids...

    Aulani Villas & Views -- Updated 03/21/2017

    Hi All, Glad I found this amazing thread. Reading all of this it appears that you can make very specific “requests” ( of course understanding it is a request). My wife and I are coming to Aulani for the first time this March/April using points (DVC Members since 93) to have an early celebration...
