Aloha, Miriam, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you found us and I'm delighted to hear that you're thinking about a vacation to where the sky meets the sea - otherwise known as
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii! Since you're hoping to travel in December, we'll get right down to business so you can lock in some travel plans and start planning for a Hawaiian holiday.
Aulani is truly a paradise, and you are in for a treat if you haven't been before! The resort incorporates Hawaiian art and architecture around every corner, with some uniquely Disney features that make it a practically perfect vacation spot. You can literally spend your entire time on property - there's so much to do for the entire family! From the incredible
Waikolohe Valley pool complex to the
daily activities and the oh-so-relaxing
Laniwai Spa, you'll find something for everyone.
The resort has both standard hotel rooms and
Disney Vacation Club villas. There is currently a
special offer for some hotel bookings of 4 nights or more that are completed by December 24, and there does appear to be some availability based on what I saw when I took a quick peek today. If you're a DVC Member hoping to use your
Vacation Points for an Aulani trip, there are no studios or villas that have full availability at this time. My best advice is to make your reservations sooner rather than later, as the December holidays are always a really popular travel time!
Once your booking is secured, take some to check out the
dining options and the various
excursions that are available during your stay. Dining reservations can be made starting 45 days before your check-in date, while you can book seating for the amazing
KA WA'A luau now. The luau was a real highlight of our first trip to Aulani, and it's one of my top recommendations!
Miriam, I hope that December finds you with your toes in the sand enjoying some special time with your nearest and dearest at Aulani! If our planDisney
'ohana can help with any other questions about your upcoming trip or another Disney adventure, please come see us again anytime.
A hui hou,
Susan
