    2 Weeks in Aulani

    We just returned from a week there. Two things we did over and over. Walk over to secret beach where we saw Hawaiian Monk seals every afternoon--one day there were five. We also swam with sea turtles at the beach at Paradise Cove. The turtles came right up to us in the shallow water. both...

    Too early for me

    Going to Aulani and tried to book an excursion to Maui. The deal was we had to get ourselves to the ariport by 5 a.m. Didn't want to spend a day of vacation getting up at 3. Does anyone have experience with tours to other islands leaving later in the day or are they all this early?

    If you need a scooter, where would you buy DVC

    We own at BLT and DW uses a Wheelchair. We have found it very wheelchair friendly. We also like the zero entry pool.

    Fastest way from HS to Epcot?

    I have "raced the boat" while walking and pushing DW in her manual wheelchair. Walking was much faster.

    Companion Restroom - How Do You Handle This?

    I have to assist DW in the restroom. Companions are the only real option for us. We have waited as much as 30 minutes in one situation (we left after 30 minutes and I took her into the women's room). The unfortunate thing is that it has become a "political" issue now and it causes anxiety for...

    VOL add Let It Go

    I had heard it was coming here is the proof. Wondering if this is going to become a must do for some folks now. Let It Go is the second link below. Personally, I find "you raise me up" to be a better fit and a better arrangement. Overall glad for the fresh material though. Anyone else...

    Missing a CM

    If I am at any other business and I miss my favorite employee who has provided me with exceptional service and is one of the reasons I go back--I am going to try to find out what I can and let management know my opinion. Disney is no different. In fact I have found them more responsive to the...

    Missing a CM

    Have you and or your family bonded with a particular CM over several visits/years? There is a CM who we began seeing right about ten years ago. Two years ago we randomly met her off property, recognized her immediately and we are now friends. Seeing her, albeit briefly, has become on of the...

    odd h/a dvc res experience

    This morning is our 11 month dvc booking window and we own at BLT. DW is in a wheelchair so we can not shower without roll in access. I went the online route and found that the size accommodation we want in all three view categories were unavailable. DW called and they had something that...

    Tell me about Bay Lake Tower

    My DW has a similar issue to your husband and we own at BLT. We do find it easier to walk to MK than to take the monorail. DW always rents a power chair and we take our own manual. She will use which ever she feels like on any given day. We have had some issues with the bed height in the...

    Aulani Party-Crashing

    We were there May 13-22 2013 and saw someone get asked to leave the line because she couldn't produce a band or room key. We also had a day when we got closed out of the line because we waited too long to join it. Something one can do without a wrist band is enjoy the observation windows at...

    Aulani Cabana policy change

    As I walked through the garage at Aulani on Saturday I noticed lots of furniture piled on the side. After closer inspection it is the stuff they are putting on the private deck areas. It was all still in plastic wrap. So, I don't think we seen the end of this sort of 'expansion'. For shade...

    Aulani - when we stay at Marriott Vacation Club

    PCMama, I am not a local but I agree with you. We are at Aulani currently and did experience an influx over the weekend. We also noticed that a lot more rooms were lit up at night. I also have had my own wristband and or key card checked often. My take is that DVC is setting their...

    Aulani Cabana policy change

    The construction wall has been moved outward and swallowed up the area where the 4 cabañas were. On the other hand we have been enjoying the casabellas (shaded double lounge chair). Great way to spend a beach day. I don't feel that our trip has been diminished in any way. I would be...

    At Aulani

    DW and I are currently at Aulani and having a great time. They have some several lift chairs at various water attractions (including rainbow reef for snorkeling). Both the pool and lazy river have zero entry. Everything is ramped but you have to live and learn a bit with it (We have rolled...
