    Aloha!

    Welcome back to planDisney, Denise! Thank you for trusting us with another of your vacation planning questions. I love chatting to fellow Disney Vacation Club Members and helping them make the most of their membership. Wow, what an exciting trip you have planned! I am very excited to talk to you about all things Aulani!

    There is so much to look forward to on this vacation. At the time of writing, there are 15 excursions to choose from when booking directly through Aulani. This includes two different Pearl Harbour experiences, which can be reserved on the Aulani website. Do keep in mind that advance reservations are required.

    On any Disney holiday, wherever it may be in the world, my family always books at least one character dining experience. Aulani is no different. At Makahiki you can enjoy a character dining breakfast, and reservations for this are recommended and can be made on the Aulani website.

    I also recommend booking KA WA‘A – A Lū‘au on Oʻahu. This is a three-hour experience of song, dance, and storytelling while you enjoy delicious island food.

    Whilst Aulani is a family resort, you will also find an adults-only pool to relax at. This is the Wailana Pool, and the best part is that it is located right next to the Wailana Pool Bar!

    As a Disney Vacation Club Member, you will discover some exclusive activities to take part in. At present, these include Coffee + Curiosity and Maximise Your Membership, although these are subject to change and availability.

    I hope this helps you as you plan your adventure, Denise, and that you have a wonderful time visiting Aulani. I also recommend my planDisney pal JoAnna, who is a huge Aulani fan, if you would like more tips as you prepare for your trip.

    See ya real soon!
