Aulani- No Turning Back Now!

[DVC2004]

We hit another milestone today in our countdown to our Aulani vacation at the end of May: I bit the bullet and purchased air. Ugh what a chunk of change! I felt with all the goings on right now in the world and the threat of oil prices skyrocketting, now was the time. I'd been looking since we booked at 7 months and honestly I didn't see much better prices out there.

So once again I am just here to say I am so happy we joined DVC. This is a trip we probably would not be taking, especially with the kids, if we had to pay for the hotel too. And since we booked the 1 BR, we can save a bit on cooking a little and pack less clothes.

We're just over 90 days to go!:cloud9:

I can't wait to hear all about it. We are now planning a 2013 trip there. I saw the models of the 1br (and studio) at the DVC center at Disneyland. Wow, they are so nice. I loved all the little details.

Have a great trip.

If you don't mind my asking, how much was the airfare?

[DVC2004]

It was just over $600 pp round trip from Chicago to Honolulu.

I was actually thinking it would be closer to $1000 pp. It seems like you may have gotten an ok deal. Have a wonderful time. I have been watching live with Kelly this week and it looks amazing.

[DVC2004]

Yeah it's headed in that direction $1000 pp for nonstop I saw. I broke up the flights so we will fly to California first and spend a few days at Disneyland at the start of the trip. I do think we got a decent price. Pretty much covered it with our tax refund.

I think you got a good deal, and icing on the cake to stop for a few days in Disneyland first. What a great plan! Have fun!

You will not be disappointed. We were there for Thanksgiving. As beautiful as it looks on TV and online...in person does not compare! Have fun!!!

[Disdude]

We were there a couple of weeks ago for 8 days. It was amazing. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Aloha!

[DVC2004]

Thanks- glad to hear the positive feeback from those of you that have stayed there! We are so excited. May can't come soon enough.

I think you got a great airfare price. I just paid $500 per person for nonstop from CA. Have fun! I can't wait for the trip reports.

I almost booked Aulani for my upcoming Hawaii trip. It's just a tad to pricey. I'm sure I'll kick myself later, but... I gotta save up for a WDW trip!
