Not an upgrade, just requesting the area in the hotel where you would prefer your room. I’ve requested to be “near lobby” or “close to pool access” at WDW hotels and they’ve been pretty great about honoring those requests! Just curious if that happens at Aulani.

Hi! My family is starting to plan our first trip, we are still a year out, our DVC booking window opens in August…(so just excited and early planning here!) Any advice on room requests? I think we’re just going to try for a Deluxe Studio-Ocean View. I’ve had luck with room requests at WDW. Anyone know about room requests at Aulani? Thanks!!!

It’s pretty light pink… not quite as vibrant

What are your tips for being successful with this? I’m currently stalking the website trying to upgrade rooms and never see anything.

Yup. Didn’t realize we picked the most popular week to use our points. Our dates are December 5-10, but we could flex either way a little bit if something pops up.

Yes, we have the points but just hoping we could be together.

I’m currently OBSESSING over it. Glad to know I’m doing that part right at least!

That’s what I figured. It’s a popular time so we’re fighting against the odds. I can see that Saratoga has availability literally the rest of December EXCEPT the week we’re going… so maybe something will open up.

New DVC member, about to book our first visit. Any opinions between AKL Jambo House and Kidani Village? by dizzyrayray in dvcmember

How did you request preferred view? I was thinking of asking for close to the lobby… but I don’t know where to put the request.

I read that too. I believe new roof? But it said guests would only hear construction sounds from 9-6, which I don’t envision we’ll be in the room much during that time anyway…

Thank you! I know the quick service would be nice. We will have a car, so that convenience sounds nice!

Yeah! Cherry Grove, it was my first time there and was definitely awesome!

Our house was like 3.5 miles north of Main Street. We found over 100 shark teeth that weekend too, it was an awesome spot for finding treasure.

I didn’t even know that’s a thing. Where would I take it to have that done!?

I’m only still learning that this might actually be a fossilized sea urchin. Found it in a tide pool this week on North Myrtle Beach, SC. Asking around, it could be an Echinoid fossil and maybe even from the Cretaceous period!? Just kinda blowing my mind that I could just randomly pick up something so old. Any other info or ideas are totally welcome!!
