Welcome Home, David! Thanks for returning to planDisney with another great question. It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member--consider me your DVC Fairy Godmother, ready to sprinkle some extra pixie dust on your vacation plans.
Your question about extra storage for your vacation supplies sounds very familiar! One of the things I love about Disney Vacation Club is that the
accommodations feel so homey as opposed to a regular hotel room, but I seem to always end up with lots of extra items to support those at-home vibes that aren't necessarily easy to pack for the trip home!
There are third-party companies based in Orlando that offer a locker that DVC Members can use to store belongings between visits to
Walt Disney World Resort. Your locker is stored off-site and the company will handle delivery and pick-up at the resort where you're staying. I haven't personally used this service, but some Members that I know use their lockers to store items such as kitchen accessories, swim gear, or full-size toiletries so they can have easy to access to them on subsequent visits.
David, I'm not currently aware of a similar service on Oahu that services
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. In our experience visiting Disney's amazing Hawaiian outpost, we rented a car and found that it was quite simple to pick up groceries and other items when we were out and about on the island. It's also a breeze to pick up some essentials at
Kalepa's Store, or rent snorkel gear and other equipment to be delivered directly to the resort.
It sounds like your next trip "home" will find you at
Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, which is our family's Home Resort and in my humble opinion, the best place to stay when you visit The Most Magical Place on Earth. My panelist pal and fellow Michigander Lauren agrees-there's not much better than watching the
Electrical Water Pageant from the beach while enjoying a tropical treat from
Pineapple Lanai! Stay tuned for an announcement of the opening date for the new DVC tower at the Polynesian--I'm really excited for this addition!
I hope you're getting excited for your upcoming vacation--it will be here before you know it! Thanks again for visiting planDisney and please reach out anytime if we can help with any other questions you might have.
Stay Magical!
