Aloha Caroline,
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials and welcome back to
planDisney! How wonderful that you're choosing to honeymoon at
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, it's such a beautiful resort! Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, and welcome back to planDisney! How wonderful that you've chosen to honeymoon at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. It's such a beautiful resort! Located on the stunning island of O'ahu, Aulani sits on the Southwest shore, offering breathtaking views of sunsets over the Ko Olina Lagoon. My family had a magical stay at the resort last year, in fact, my daughters still talk about it regularly!
Depending on the time of year, booking a room at Aulani can be difficult so I'm glad you're looking at it with plenty of time to spare. I spoke with an Aulani Cast Member who shared that bookings for 2026 should open in May 2025 (2025 bookings became available in May 2024). I recommend checking the Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa website regularly or phoning the resort directly closer to May.
While waiting for the reservations to become available, I recommend perusing the resort's website and downloading the Aulani app. You can explore the activities offered at the resort from water fun in the Waikolohe Valley Pool area to Excursions or you're looking to book dining reservations, you can check out menus at the resort's restaurants including
‘AMA‘AMA with its enchanting oceanfront setting.
For a special treat, I highly recommend visiting
Laniwai - A Disney Spa. There you'll find
Kula Wai - O'ahu's only outdoor hydrotherapy garden. Guests receive access to the 5,000-square-foot garden retreat with baths, soaking pools, plunge pools, rain-style showers and more. Spa services can be booked 90 days in advance of your stay, either online through the Aulani Resort website or by calling the Resort's Reservation Desk at (808) 674-6300.
Caroline, I hope this information is helpful to your honeymoon planning. Wishing you an incredible stay in paradise!
A Hui Hou, (this means until we see each other again in Hawaiian)
