    We're planning a celebration of life for my Mom and have a family of 11.We're looking for reservations at Aulani December 23-26.We would like to reserve the 2 bedroom and the Ocean view Grand Villa.I see I have to waitlist.What are the chances?

    Hello, Diane - welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you found us, and I will be happy to help with some tips for planning your family trip to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. It's such a special spot, and a lovely place to celebrate your sweet Mom with family. 

    While I can't predict whether you'll be able to reserve the exact accommodations that you're hoping for, it's important to know that the last two weeks of December are typically a very active travel time for Hawaii in general, and that includes Aulani. This Hawaiian Disney Vacation Club outpost is definitely a popular spot - with good reason!

    Diane, I did a quick search for availability at Aulani (as I'm sure you have, too!) and there is unfortunately nothing currently showing with full availability. I recommend setting up a Waitlist right away to maximize your chances of securing a reservation. Members may have up to 2 active Waitlists per Membership, per Use Year. There is no guarantee that a Waitlist request will come through, but Guests' plans change all the time and something may open up. I'll be crossing my fingers that the stars align for your family!

    Wishing you all the best as you celebrate your Mom with your family. Please don't hesitate to come and see us again at planDisney if we can help with any other questions about this or any other Disney trip. 

    Stay magical, 
    Susan
