Our family has never been to Aulani. We are tentatively planning a vacation to Maui some time next summer or maybe next October. DH & I have always wanted to visit Pearl Harbor, so I thought of us taking a day trip to Oahu just for that.
But I know how much everybody on the DIS seems to just love Aulani. And on the DIS Unplugged podcasts, they talk about it fairly often. So that tells me that there must be something unique or special about this particular resort that has people want to go back time and time again.
So I looked on the Aulani website and holy moly, the nightly rate is expensive! Even for a basic room. Our family would likely do 5-7 nights on Maui in a condo right on the beach, followed by 2 nights maybe at Aulani. While on Oahu, we would not be renting a car. If we do a stay at Aulani, it would be a "stay at the resort" portion of the trip.
I've looked at places in Waikiki and we are just not interested in staying anywhere in Waikiki.
So tell me....why do YOU love Aulani? What is it about this particular Disney resort that makes you want to go there over other places in Hawaii? Thanks in advance for all of your feedback!
