Default Pictures from our Disney Aulani resort stay in Hawaii

Here's a link to my Aulani photos - http://www.flickr.com/photos/4008931...08370877/show/

It was even better than I expected

We loved the look and feel of the resort. We're looking forward to staying here again.

We used our DVC points to reserve a one bedroom poolside garden view room for a one night stay. I was told that occupancy was at 51% which was perfect. We would definitely return during low season.

We saw the Starlit Hui evening show which was ok (nothing special but it was free). They place mats on the ground for you to sit on during the show. It's not very comfortable. I would not go out of your way to see it if you've seen other Hawaiian performances.

TIP: Skip the drinks on ice at the beachside lounge called Off the Hook. My pricey cocktail was mostly ice. Either request a frozen drink, soda without ice, or beer.


Here's a link to photos of the other places we stayed during our 2012 Hawaii trip (see below)
Ali'i Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (Oahu hotel stay) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/4008931...43469758/show/
HGVC Lagoon Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (Oahu timeshare stay) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/4008931...08174187/show/
Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas North (Maui timeshare stay) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/4008931...46772364/show/

Enjoy

those are beautiful- I was struck by how much the photos look like the artist renderings. They executed the vision perfectly! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for posting! Your photos are simply amazing!

I agree the best I have seen so far. You only stayed one night and took all those pictures? That is amazing as well.

We are going in June and your pictures have even made me more excited than I was!

Your pictures are gorgeous! I can't wait to stay there, it's just the rest of the Hawaii trip that's killing me.
