Hello everyone,
We will be going to Aulani in May. While there, we will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary. I'm looking for ideas to surprise my wife with a nice dinner on our anniversary. I'm trying to out-do what I did for her on our 5 year anniversary in WDW. For our 5 year I rented out a private balcony dinner at grand floridian during the fireworks show. I also had them make a replica of our wedding cake (flavor, design, and all) to be served for dessert. My DW said I'll never be able to top that. So.... Game on!
I called Ama Ama at Aulani and asked if they had something similar. THey quoted a private 5-course dinner near the beach for $250 a person ($290 with wine pairings). By the time we tipped, this would be well over $700 for dinner! While I could probably fit that in the budget, I've never dreamed of paying that much for dinner and would only do it if it came HIGHLY recommended. The best meal I ever had was the chefs table at Napa rose, and that was half the price of this quoted meal! I'm thinking for that kind of money I could probably rent out a private boat and do dinner that way...lol.
Anyway...I would love any suggestions or ideas you may have. Thanks ahead of time for the advice!
PS...The kids will be going with us (one is under 3 and can't go to Aunties beach house) so I'm also looking for ideas on in room babysitting companies for that night. Has anyone used this service before and who would you recommend?
