    The answer to "When can I pull my next FP?"

    How does it work if there are four people in your party - can you pull a FP for all four at the same time, or does each person have to do it separately?

    Aulani beach - water shoes? Nearby turtle beach?

    Hi! Can anyone tell me if we need water shoes for the beach at Aulani - is it rocky? What about the nearby beach where turtles can be found? And if anyone can link me to the directions for how to walk to the turtle beach from Aulani I'd be grateful. We're going next week and I can't wait!!

    Car break-ins... what about your luggage?

    We are staying in Waikiki for a few nights, then moving to Aulani. We figured we'd tour around Honolulu a little, maybe the Iolani Palace, and then get lunch somewhere before driving over to Aulani. So that sounds like a bad situation as far as risk...

    Car break-ins... what about your luggage?

    So I've heard a lot about how rental cars often get broken into in Hawaii. Has anyone found this to be a real concern? What about when we are moving from one hotel to another, and have all of our luggage in the car? Is that a no-no? It's making my planning a little crazy logistics-wise...

    Pool/beach areas at Aulani

    Thanks to you both. Any concerns with leaving belongings unattended? I've heard so much about theft in Hawaii but maybe it's not as much of an issue at the resort? I'll do a general post as well. Thanks again.

    Pool/beach areas at Aulani

    How crowded/crazy are the pool and beach areas at Aulani? Can you go down in the afternoon and find a chair, or is it the kind of thing where people reserve seats with towel clips from early on in the morning? Will I see a lot of clips (should I bring my own)? What's the vibe like later in...

    Breakfast near aulani

    Maybe this is a silly question, but my husband is a big coffee fan and we want to make sure we get some good coffee (Kona?) Is this available generally or do you have to go somewhere in particular?

    Nice dinner out

    Thank you, this is exactly the information I was looking for. Has anyone been to Tommy Bahama's? A friend liked it but I'm wondering if it is similar to Duke's.

    Nice dinner out

    Thanks for this! Can you tell me more about the different reasons each is iconic? Is it the entertainment that is different? Is one more upscale or fancy than the other? Thank you.

    Nice dinner out

    We'd like to have a nice dinner out in Waikiki to celebrate an anniversary - any recommendations? I've heard that Duke's and House Without a Key are both good, on the water, with lots of great atmosphere - we're looking for that more than a stuffy/elegant place. And if you've been to both...

    Aulani beach questions

    What's the beach like at Aulani? Is the sand rocky- do you need water shoes? Are the lounge chairs you see in the pictures available for free, or do you need to rent them? Any fish to be seen? Can you hear music playing? Is it a restful place, or more lively? Many thanks.

    Evening activities

    I've seen several people write that there isn't much to do at Aulani in the evening. We are traveling with our two daughters (18 and 20) - are there any bars/restaurants with music at night, either at Aulani or nearby? Any other suggestions? Or will we be so tired from jet lag (coming from...
