    Easy activity without kids

    Aulani I don't think is really in a part of the island where there is anything like that within a short distance.

    Water temperature (lazy river, pool, ocean)

    If its like every other Disney pool they heat it to 82

    What would you do first?

    Oahu has way more people and way more to do. Do Oahu first then unwind on Maui. Oahu is wasted if you just stay at the resort.

    Aulani Newbie

    2 studios will need way fewer points but you won't get a kitchen. We have only been a few times but have never had a problem booking at 7 months. We have booked in February, October, and April. If you are renting points you might want to skip spending the money on Disneyland DVC and just rent...

    Visiting Perl Harbor From Aulani

    There is no doubt you should just go on your own. No tour is needed and likely any tour would just be transportation any way. Parking is easy, the Arizona memorial is a movie and then a boat ride to the memorial which is small and quiet. Then if you want to do the Missouri there are tour guide...

    Aulani vs other resorts on Oahu

    With kids of that age even a 1 bedroom might be too small. I would look in to the other hotels or condos in Ko Olina the experience will be similar and possibly cheaper

    4 Nights in Aulani, want a trip of around 7 Nights total, what would you do?

    I would say Waikiki sucks and it isn't Hawaii it is just like any expensive beach city. I would avoid it, do Aulani or the north shore or both

    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    Paid is one thing, pay even more per single popular ride is another.

    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    The parks have become the life blood of the Disney brand. The life blood of the parks are the frequent return visitors. They don't bring in the most money but they do free advertising constantly. You upset the return visitors then when their friends who havre never been ask them about it they...

    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    first step should be effective immediately no charge for genie plus and park reservations gone. Can't see that happening though

    Counterfeit blue cards? Wow.

    So Disney got rid of the blue cards so that they could stop a handful of people from saving 10% on souvenirs which have a profit margin of likely 200%? Sounds VERY Bob Chapek like to me so I imagine it is true

    Standard vs Garden View

    If you get an island garden view category room there are many of them that will have a great ocean view from the balcony. I can't remember the rooms to request but the information is on here somewhere

    Pearl Harbor Tour

    You don't need a tour, the USS Arizona is a memorial, you watch a movie and then take a boat ride out to it to pay respects. The USS Missouri you just buy a ticket and as soon as you get on the ship there will be workers there standing who do tours, you generally wait for a few more people to...

    Fall break- already booked up?

    I booked October 7 to 14 I think it was an had to piece together the reservation with multiple types of studio (some days standard view, some days island garden and some days Oceanview). Took a week or two but I did end up getting one continuous reservation in the same category through...

    First timer Itinerary help

    I would personally skip Dole completely and spend more time at Kualoa or Pearl Harbour. Never done the ATV but have done the catamaran twice, movie tour and hourse back tour. All were great but for sure I liked the catamaran the best. You get to go on a boat ride across the Hawaiian fish pond...

    First timer Itinerary help

    Day 4 is fine, Dole is not much to write home about so it won't take too much of the day at all. That said it really isn't on the way to Kualoa, it is on the way to the north shore and Kualoa you can get to by driving north and then around the eastern side of the island but it is a reasonably...

    Best hikes for family

    Manoa Falls is great, especially if you go at a time where it isn't super dry because the falls does get much smaller when the weather is very dry

    Question about activities

    not an answer to your question but I would avoid spending any time in Waikiki whatsoever. It isn't Hawaii.

    CNBC on Chapek & Iger’s falling out

    I had been complaining about nickel and dimeing well before Chapek but he moved in and immediately kicked it in to overdrive to the point where even considering going back to the parks just makes me angry. Genie+ is bad but getting rid of the magical express is the largest irritation to me.

    American Idol filming at Aulani

    I was there the first time they did Idol at Aulani. First, I suggest NOT going to see it, and if you do don't bother lining up. You can see it easily from the beach as it is as far right as possible if you are looking at the ocean. By as far right as possible I mean while staying on Aulani...
