    Does someone know is the lines are long for the slides? Do you know how long you had to wait?

    • @FamilywithFour
      @FamilywithFour  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The line up for the slides is very short during the first part of the morning but throughout the day the lines get progressively longer (and the lines get shorter again in the early evening). Because the sun has to climb in the sky during the morning, the waterslides are actually in the shade until mid to late morning and less people are swimming. During peak season the line can be over 30 minutes for each of the slide and you will also have to wait for a tube for sometimes 5 or 10 minutes as well plus the 30 minute wait for the tube slide.

      It is called Paradise Cove Public Beach, about a 6 minute walk north from Aulani. You exit Aulani back to Aliinui Dr and walk until a large public parking lot, which you walk through and go down a pathway. We actually made another short video dedicated to our experience here that shows more of what you would expect and how to get there: th-cam.com/video/M0hYPWxVy58/w-d-xo.html

    I really enjoyed your video! We are going to Oahu for my brothers wedding and I wanted to at least stay two nights at Aulani. Is that enough time? We’ll be traveling with our 2 & 5 year olds.

    • @FamilywithFour
      @FamilywithFour  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It's means a lot to us! Two nights, three full days should be enough time. I believe you can use the Waterpark the morning you check in so you could get extra time as your room probably won't be ready until 4pm but you can add 5+ hours on property by doing it this way.
      We loved the lu'au so you may want to book around the availability as it does book up if you want to have an amazing show! Ama Ama does book up as well but it was just above our budget. Your kids will have an amazing time we loved having ours there at those ages! If you have any questions we would be happy to answer!

    What is there to do for ages 2 and 13? We live on Oahu but still have yet to go… idk if it’s worth it for us due to the kids ages and we’ve lived in Hawaii since 2014…

    • @FamilywithFour
      @FamilywithFour  ปีที่แล้ว

      We would say age 2 is on the younger end and age 13 may be on the older end, especially if your oldest isn't a big Disney fan. We have met locals on our time at Aulani that bring their kids to enjoy the waterpark area on special occasions like their birthdays. Our two year old liked the beach, water areas, and meeting the characters the most. Our oldest was 10 at the time and she liked the Lu'Au and waterslides the most. Activities that weren't in our video but could be fun would be ukulele lessons, stargazing, and making Mickey ears.

    • @FamilywithFour
      @FamilywithFour  ปีที่แล้ว

      You are correct. The Aulani website definitely says ages 4-12 right now. When we went in January 2023 it was actually ages 5-12 (I just checked our registration form again). I know 2 years ago it was completely closed, before that the drop in times were open (like a cruise) and I believe then it was ages 3+. We did a Disney Cruise in November, and it was ages 3+ with a nursery for toddlers even younger than three. I guess, stay current and they may open the younger age group up.

    Hello, thanks for the review! Very informative. I’m curious how you got a family of 6 in the 1 bedroom villa? We have 4 young kids as well and were hoping to stay in the 1 bedroom villa for cost and because we don’t need a 2 bedroom villa that sleeps 9 people… just wondering if you got any push back from the resort or issues getting 6 wristbands or anything like that? Thanks again

    • @FamilywithFour
      @FamilywithFour  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That is a great question and one of the reasons why we went when we did. Our fourth had to be aged 2 or younger to still fit in a 1 bedroom villa. Once he turns three, we would outgrow the ability to stay in this room size and would have to switch to a 2 bedroom (or just get two regular rooms). If we were to stay at Aulani again, we would most likely just get 2 regular rooms. This would be an important consideration as we did see Aulani management address staff who tried to get wristbands that exceeded the room limit. You would lose your own washer and dryer and kitchen doing this, but it should still be the cheapest way to stay at Aulani. We learned this age cutoff when we stayed two years ago and made sure we went one more time in the "sweetspot" of kids ages. Thank you for watching and don't hesitate to ask us for any other tips or tricks if you end up going!
