Aloha, Daniel! Welcome to planDisney! Mahalo for your service to our country and for stopping by with your vacation planning question. I love chatting about magical vacations with my pals, pal!
I'm so excited to hear that you are planning a vacation at
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa next summer. I, too, am planning a vacation to the pixie-dusted paradise next year, and I find myself daydreaming about that first step into the gorgeous, grand lobby, feeling the warm breeze, hearing ukulele music and the waves lap the shoreline, and tasting that first sip of a mai tai. Now, that sounds like the BEST. DAY. EVER! I'm honored to help you plan your magical adventure in paradise!
I always suggest starting your planning on the "
Special Offers, Packages and More" page on the Aulani website to check out the latest and greatest deals on Aulani vacations. Here, you will find the ever-changing special offers and discounts, including the current 35 percent room discount for eligible Members of the U.S. Military. Unfortunately, this offer is only valid for select nights from August 23, 2022, through December 23, 2022, but it gives you an idea of what types of Military discounts could possibly be offered for your future stay in paradise.
As a fellow Southerner, I know that a vacation to Hawaii is something that takes advanced planning, so, I suggest
booking your Aulani vacation online, or by calling (866) 443-4763 between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Aulani time, as soon as possible to lock down your room and vacation dates. Then, as your vacation gets closer, keep a close eye on the website's Special Offers page to see if any discounts can be applied to your dates. If so, just call a helpful Cast Member to modify your reservation!
One thing that I am SO excited about is the variety of Resort activities at Aulani! As your trip approaches, check out the
Daily 'Iwa: Aulani Resort Activities Calendar to see all of the fun and magic that is ahead of you. Several activities are even included in your stay! I'm the most excited about the complimentary
Menehune Adventure Trail and the Make Your Own Mickey Ears activity for a small fee!
I hope this was helpful, Daniel, and I hope you book the vacation of your dreams very soon! Please stop by with any planning questions you may have along the way. You've got a friend in me!
A hui hou (Until we meet again),
Mandy
