Room prices at Disney Aulani begin at around $400 per night for a basic room. If money is no object to you or you are a Disney fanatic who has their heart set on staying here then you really do not have to read any further. Disney Aulani if a fabulous resort and you will have a wonderful time.
Disney’s Aulani Is Now Open . But There’s a Catch. Unless you can show Mickey proof of residency, you’ll need a negative COVID-19 test result to visit the Hawaiian Mouse House. Like other Disney destinations currently open , popular amenities and activities at Aulani have been modified or canceled for health and safety.
Overall: Aulani is definitely not worth the trip for the Disney experience, because there really is no Disney experience. Definitely not worth the trip for a resort stay, there are so many other properties offering more diverse and comfortable amentities in a better location for a more complete vacation.
The amazing list of inclusive vacation elements is filled with offerings guests can enjoy for days of fun, and with no additional charge for most activities! Included in a stay at Aulani Resort, guests may experience our exciting kids club, family activities, nighttime entertainment, unforgettable pools and more!
Aulani , a Disney Resort & Spa in Ko’Olina, Hawaii is the last Disney property in the world to remain completely closed at this time. Even Disneyland Resort has begun its phased reopening, with many Downtown Disney District shops and restaurants reopen to the public.
Final recommendations. You really need at least 3 nights to see Aulani itself, and 4 or 5 is optimal. Add in a day at Waikiki and another climbing Diamond Head or visiting the North Shore, and you ‘re looking at least 6 nights plus time to recover from jet lag.
Rent DVC Points For even bigger savings than sale rates, consider renting Disney Vacation Club points for a stay at Aulani . This is the key to massive savings. DVC is Disney’s answer to the timeshare, and DVC owners can often rent out their unused points to other vacationers at a discount .

Oahu
If you’re visiting Hawaii for the first time , I recommend selecting a single island for your vacation. This allows you to plan out a robust itinerary, relax, and experience the island to the fullest. Hawaii is made up of the following islands: The Big Island of Hawaii . Maui. Oahu. Kauaʻi. Molokaʻi. Lānaʻi. Niʻihau. Kahoʻolawe.
