Not to be a nosy rosy, but your avatar pic seems to show 5 of you. Only 4 of us, but DS and DD can’t sleep together anymore without fighting (she kicks LOL), so we need 3 sleeping surfaces. As another poster said, Aulani is actually cheaper than other places I found with that kind of space. (I don’t do condos, and definitely not after the Covid cancellation fiascos I read about, but I’m sure plenty of folks will say that’s a more cost-effective option.) Also as a couple of posters said, yes, you’re going to want to spend half or more of your time away, so if you can find a cheaper option for those days, and then relax at Aulani, that’s a great option (and what we did). But if it’s your first trip to Hawaii, IMO you should go to Oahu if for no other reason than Pearl Harbor. Then either split time with another island or plan to go back (we FOD both LOL). And if you’re going to Oahu, and you’re a big enough Disney fan to be on these boards, you should spend at least 2-3 days at Aulani. In my opinion, it’s the best Disney resort of all and the most beautiful man-made thing we saw in all of Hawaii.
