Overpriced rooms for the Disney name
Lynn M on Dec 19, 2025
We were a family of 10 and decided to splurge for one night at Aulani on our last night for the grandkids (ages 7, 5, and 1). We were able to use the facilities in the late morning as our room wouldn't be ready until after 3pm and they had a family lounge area to change and were also able to stay for the majority of the day after checkout. However, for two villas (a 2br and a 1br) I feel that the $2,000 wasn't well spent - at least I didn't pay full retail due to DVC Rental Store. Yes, the staff is amazing and extremely helpful, but not sure what I was paying for as there weren't the amenities in the rooms that you would expect for this price. The pools were great, even though the lines were pretty long for any of the slides and in the late afternoon it was very crowded. We were lucky to find 4 chairs together, but most of the chairs around us that had towels we never saw anyone in them! The kitchen was well appointed and the in-room washer/dryer was great and the views of the pool from the two lanais were amazing. I really wanted to love it more than I did and while it was a great experience for the kids, I would not stay here again.
Avoid American Idol! (January 25th to 31st, 2026)
lucadecor (Santa Fe, New Mexico) on Dec 11, 2025
WARNING...if you have a trip planned during the week of January 25th to the 31st of 2026, American Idol will be taping during that entire week. DVC members received an email notification confirming these dates. If you have a trip planned during this time, you can expect a HUGE stage on the beach, blocking your views and taking up guest beach space. You can expect loud rehearsals and sound checks from early morning until after dark. You can expect crews blocking pathways around the pool area. You can expect the parking garage to be full. Don't expect nightly storytelling or pool entertainment, that will all get cancelled. Don't expect Aulani staff to care about your discomfort or complaints, there is nothing they can do. Don't expect any compensation or consideration for the inconvenience! Idol week at Aulani is not ideal!
