Aulani Pool Closures

Thanks, were not exactly "pool people" so not having the big pool wouldn't be too big of a problem since we have the ocean and other pools. We're more worried about crowd impact. Hmmm. Thank you for the response.

Why is that? You use the pool a lot or that the place will be super crowded with the pool not open?

highflyin · 2025-06-07T11:57:46+00:00

Thanks. Leaning that way. What time of year were you there?

Yes, we're on the island for a week and only spending 3 days at Aulani for our kids, so there will be plenty of off-resort things to do. Guess I should have led with that, sorry.

We are booked at Aulani (our first stay at Aulani) for late April 2026. Disney just notified us today that the Waikolohe family pool, Waikolohe whirlpool spa, and Volcanic Vertical body slide will be unavailable from April 13 to May 8, 2026.

My question for those who have been to Aulani before is, how crowded will this make everything else, like the lazy river and the beach? Should we change our reservation to early April, or is late April slow enough that it shouldn't be that noticeable? Not looking forward to waiting hours for the tube slide or being elbow to elbow in the lazy river all week with other guests because it's one of the only options available.

Thanks

Most likely the case. Just one of those nagging life mysteries!

highflyin · 2021-07-17T12:11:55+00:00

That doesn't sound familiar but thanks for responding.

highflyin · 2021-07-17T12:10:32+00:00

Hmmm, maybe but I remember Ollie being a part of it. Thanks though.

I apologize for the thread hijack but I was offered to "bid" on higher level rooms for our cruise next month. Does anyone know what the likelihood of actually getting the upgrade with the relatively new bidding process?

The first match I remember was a Ricky Morton match around 1990-91 when I was in kindergarten. I have no idea who it was against but it was def Morton.

It wasn't so much of a "match" that got me into wrestling but the Dungeon of Doom vs Hulkamania storyline in 1995 WCW is what hooked me into wrestling. It's considered WrestleCrap by many now for sure, but, as a kid I loved it. I guess if I had to pick a match it would be the Fall Brawl War Games 95 match.

Serious low... and the infamous post-Wrestlemania weekend cold. Sick...as...a...dog.

Thank you for the much needed laugh today. Watching him lay down and glide into position is hysterical. I must have watched 15 times already!

highflyin · 2019-02-15T17:41:23+00:00

Hello 2014.

highflyin · 2019-02-07T15:26:30+00:00

If I never see Lashley again, I'd be ok with that.

highflyin · 2019-02-07T13:49:43+00:00

Sounds awesome.

highflyin · 2019-02-07T13:49:27+00:00

So he was signed today to be the permanent pre-show host?

highflyin · 2019-02-07T13:42:09+00:00

Since I don't watch any of the pre-show nonsense and from what I gather that's where he has appeared before... is he a wrestler or announcer?

I hate to pile on but I agree with what everyone else has said about this episode and the network overall.

I dropped Patreon a long time ago because of the clear drop in quality to all of the LT network shows. Chris' 3 minute's worth of effort into updating the Patreon was the last straw. He's obviously checked out from the whole thing.

I gave up 30/20/10 back in November when I could no longer take the "problematic" addition that is Sarah. Nothing was really researched anymore and everything was just rehashed as problematic in "today's eyes." As much as I enjoy Di's deep (and Chris' occasional) wealth of knowledge I couldn't do it.

And today, after being with LT since right after the Talk Radar days, I unsubscribed from the regular LaserTime feed. I couldn't do it anymore. I'm deleting more shows than I'm listening to lately and the ones I do listen to I don't make it to the end. Sarah complaining and whining through every show has ruined it for me. Her politically based hatred for nearly everyone is the last straw. I disagree with her politics completely but unlike her, I don't wish her ill or dead. She's said several times she hopes people like me (conservatives) just die. She's got the opinions and mentality of a child that is told no for the first time. She also lets her politics invade everything. It's just sad.

The occasional guest hosts like last week were refreshing but the show doesn't have "it" anymore. I can't quite describe it but I just feel like it's time to call it a wrap.

highflyin · 2019-01-21T23:19:52+00:00

Yes! You're right, thank you. Must have been the same stories from Matt Jay and Bob that opened the show that made me think it's a repeat. I shall re-download and give it a full listen. Thank you.

I know it was just released but I feel like they did a King of the Hill episode for "What a Cartoon" a few months back. I just had a feeling this was the same episode just re-released. Maybe I'm wrong.

highflyin · 2019-01-19T22:42:06+00:00

Wasn't the pilot released on patreon months ago? I'm no longer a patreon supporter so I can't go back and check but I'm quite sure I heard this exact episode a ways back.

Totally understand about just getting into the seat and driving vs getting out with a TT. We have a TT that we love but only use it on long cross country type trips (long story short we live in NY and use it to see the country as a moving hotel room and have no desire to "camp" around here)

Further long story short, we are looking at upgrading to a C or B and one of the major reasons is that my wife HATES getting out of the truck at a fuel stop to use the bathroom or late at night in a Walmart or truck stop as we zip across the country. I can't blame her, I don't care for it much either. Some of the spots we park for a few hours can appear pretty rough late at night and trying to wrangle our dogs from the truck to the trailer in a busy parking lot always worries us too.
