Aulani Without the Overwhelm

Planning an Aulani vacation? Let me save you the research. This 16-page guide is packed with the things I actually learned during our family stay so you can spend less time researching and more time enjoying the resort.

Inside you’ll find:

• Money-saving tips, including how we saved on our stay
• What’s included with your resort stay (and what isn’t)
• Pool, beach & activity tips
• Rainbow Reef snorkeling + fish-feeding information
• Our $25 PhotoPass hack
• The wooden surfboard secret
• Character meet-and-greet tips
• Our favorite food & treats
• Aunty’s Beach House information
• Splurges we considered and what we chose to skip
• A simple 3-day Aulani itinerary
• A handy pre-trip & resort checklist

This isn't a guide to doing EVERYTHING at Aulani. It's a guide to doing the things that matter most, saving money where you can, and enjoying the magic without feeling like you have to check every box.

Based on our personal experience during our 2026 Aulani stay. Prices, policies, schedules and availability can change.
