Aloha, Brandie!
Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney. While I haven't gotten to experience a stay at
Aulani Resort yet, it's at the
very top of my
Disney Vacation Club bucket list. With its stunning island atmosphere and incredible attention to Hawaiian cultural details, it looks like an incredible place to visit. While you won't be staying on-site during your Hawaiian adventure, I'm excited to hear that you're hoping to visit the Resort during your upcoming vacation –– I think you and your family are going to love it!
Since I don't have any first-hand knowledge of the Resort, I reached out to Becky, an Aulani Cast Member, for all the details about which activities non-Resort Guests can enjoy during an Aulani visit. I'm happy to report that your family is welcome to make reservations for both the
Makahiki - The Bounty of the Islands and the
KA WA'A Lu'au experience, up to 30 days in advance. You can also book spa experiences at
Laniwai - A Disney Spa up to 90 days in advance and wander through the
Resort's shops during your visit. All other Resort activities, including the pool and beach areas, are only for the use of registered Resort Guests. If you'll be driving to Aulani Resort, parking fees currently start at $37, however, these fees are subject to change. For more Resort details and updates, including
current face-covering guidelines, be sure to visit the Aulani Resort website before your visit.
Mahalo for visiting planDisney, Brandie. I'm wishing you and your family lots of pixie dust during your upcoming Aulani Resort adventure!
Happy Planning,
Amy
