Aloha! Just wondering if any neighboring Hawaii residents (or other frequent visitors) have been to Aulani and what their thoughts are on the stay. We have lived on Maui for 20 years and want to take my son for his 10th birthday, which happens to fall during the Hawaii school fall break. I work at a major resort on Maui that has an amazing pool/facilities and I realize that fall break is super busy with kama'aina. We decided that going the Monday following Fall break when HI schools start back up would be a better time to not have wall to wall people.
We are planning on 2 nights and 3 days (missing 3 days of school). In your opinion, is it really worth it for the Disney magic? We can staycation here on Maui at the Grand Wailea, that has an awesome beach but more importantly to us, a great water park. We go to the beach all the time. Is the addition of inter island flights (approx. $800 to fly to Oahu) worth it? We want to see some of Oahu maybe Kuala Ranch for the film tour, not too interested in going to the usual tourist destinations and getting some disney magic since we can't go to the parks this year. Is Aulani, that different a resort experience compared to other high end resorts?
also, has construction started yet?
