I’m wondering how far in advance Aulani is canceling resort reservations at this time.
Aulani just cancelled the Oct. 2 staycation group reservation so the closure will go past September.
Aulani is not going to go against Hawaiian mandates. But Aulani is a timeshare that has legal obligations to those that own at the timeshare. So the timeshare side is going to open as soon as feasibly possible. I'm surprised that they've cancelled an October 2nd reservation already. Not that I don't think it is inevitable, I'm surprised they committed to officially cancelling it. Officially the quarantine only extends to October 1st.Aulani just cancelled the Oct. 2 staycation group reservation so the closure will go past September.

Another update: 15 days out, my renter's Sep. 25-28 reservation dropped off between 7:30 AM MST and 10:30 AM MST today. (Yes, I've been checking obsessively since I wanted to use those points for a WDW reservation.) It seemed inconsistent because they canceled my other renter's Sep. 22-25 reservation last Thursday when it was 19 days out. But now I'm wondering if they do it once a week on Thursday mornings! Not enough data points to be sure, so take that theory with a grain of salt.
Also note that as the DVC owner, I have received zero notification from DVC/Aulani about the canceled reservations. If I wasn't chomping at the bit to book my own vacation next month, I probably wouldn't even notice for a long time. If I hadn't come to the Disboards to read up about it, I'd have no idea what David's is doing for (to?) owners and renters. If I didn't keep my own records of what was rented to who and when, I certainly wouldn't be able to find that information on my DVC account. The reservations are GONE, no history to be found.
I just called for my reservation Check in Oct 5th, as I had not heard anything and Aulani confirmed to me it was cancelled.
Mine was through David's as well. I just gave the guy my confirmation number and he told me it was cancelled but couldn't tell me anything else. David's has not said anything to me to date.I just called them and all they would tell me is that are still accepting reservations for October. She also told me that she can’t tell me anything since it’s thru DVC. She told me to call DVC. But I know DVC won’t tell me anything, because I rented the points through David’s. What a nightmare.
