Disney's Aulani Trip Planning, Part 1: Before you go

[@emaun5948]

“The Aulani” love that..

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Hi. Thanks for watching and commenting! This is by far our favorite Disney property.

[@tiffanymorantes5391]

This is awesome. I am going for 12 days with a huge family. My inlaws have the two bedroom and I have my own hotel room with my husband and kids. We are so excited!

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

That is great and I am a bit jealous. That is a great length of stay. I hope you will watch the other videos in this series we did to discover some of the things you can do on the island. Please note: I believe some of the restaurants may have closed since the videos posted.

[@tiffanymorantes5391]

@@MrAndMrsBanks I will. Thank you.

[@paulagirl]

Len, I love your energy! It's so soothing and I feel like you are very caring. I totally subscribed! New DVC owner and am taking my first Aulani trip in September so I am glad I found you

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the compliments and I hope you really love Aulani. We LOVE it but have moved to the east coast making getting there more of a challenge than before. The videos should still be very relevant, but of course some changes may have happened over time.

A tip ... Instead of laundry pods, look for laundry detergent sheets. They take up much less space, and there's no danger of them popping and oozing out detergent.

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

good idea

[@nanushka]

I just discovered your channel and I'm addicted to your very informative tips. I'm from Barcelona and getting married on April 29th. My fiance and I are planning our honeymoon in Aulani so this is most handy. Thank you very much!

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Nice! Congratulations and have a great time.

[@noel_reikilovebubble]

Thanks for sharing these tips guys! Much appreciated! My family of four is going to Aulani in 18 days! We're so excited, I'm trying to learn as much as possible! This has been very helpful. Traveling with children so knowing grocery stores will deliver is an amazing option for us. We do want to rent a car for a few days since we're staying for 14days total but we do want to enjoy the resort as much as possible. Especially because it's our first time, but we do want to see some of the beautiful things the Island has to offer! Looking forward to checking out your other videos!

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

TWO WEEKS!!!!??!! I am so jealous. Have a great time!!! Yeah, you're gonna want a car. ;) I hope the other videos help you make some wonderful plans for great memories! Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing!

[@lorainehudson5013]

I'm glad you said that because it's going to be our first time there and we were thinking shuttling from airport to hotel

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Have a great trip and I hope our ideas are useful!

[@kimkillelea9402]

going next month...LOVE this thank you

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Wonderful. I hope you have an incredible time. Make sure to watch the other videos in the series to get even more ideas and tips.

[@georgeandcris]

So glad we found your video! Going to Aulani in a few months, this is so helpful! ❤️

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Great, glad you like it. Check the others in the series and have a great trip!

[@georgeandcris]

@@MrAndMrsBanks just watched all three and subscribed! Loved them!!

[@lornaring614]

Thank you for your tips. Please also include military discount...always ask when booking your tickets, car rental, hotel, parking fee...n other activities. We lived in Oahu n we always ask if they offer military discount...doesn’t hurt to ask! You’ll be surprise! Thx again Len Banks

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

GREAT TIP. Not being military, I don't realize to ask. I hope military personnel know to do that, so great reminder!

[@jennstx9699]

Great tip to bring my Apple TV! (and remote :) I didn’t even think about that - I’m not going until next May, but that’s a huge tip! I’d still like to watch my shows and Disney + at night! 🌺

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Thanks. I did hear from a family member who went that they might have changed up the system a bit. Odd as I didn't go that long ago. So it might not work any longer. But it doesn't take too much room in the luggage. So give it a try still.

[@dcariasx]

Love this! Thank you for all your information!

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Thank you! I'm glad you watched and commented. I hope you find out other videos on the Aulani (and more) useful too!

[@MathewLauren]

These are great tips! We did not know a lot when we arrived for our first trip. Can’t wait to return!

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Thanks! and thanks for subscribing. I'm looking at your channel as well. Looks like you've had a lot of fun adventures.

[@MathewLauren]

@@MrAndMrsBanks yeah we do a lot of adventuring. We have our final video from Aulani coming out on Thursday. :)

[@lorainehudson5013]

Thank you for the info

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

You bet

[@kipperess]

What kind of coffee filters do we need in villas?

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

The basket type. Not sure if it is #2 or #4, but go with 4 to be sure.

[@xiixiixo]

What airport do you fly into?

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Honolulu. :)

[@jerryzangrealtor]

Going in a couple weeks

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Congratulations! I wish I was. Heading east to WDW instead. Have fun.

[@AngelinaMaria1221]

Had anyone said if a chrome cast would work??

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

I don't recall that comment, but I suspect any of the devices would work the same. Give it a shot!

[@lorainehudson5013]

Will our debit cards n credit cards still work in Hawaii?

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

Absolutely! While there are no national banks with branches there, all your credit cards and debit cards with the standard interbank compatibility will work.

[@rossy1759]

You said she was the expert but every time she started giving her advice, you cut her off and gave your advice. Thanks for the video. Just next time maybe let her give her opinion and then you give yours and that will make it even more informative for us viewers so we can make our decisions based on both of your point of view. Thanks again

[@MrAndMrsBanks]

thanks for watching and offering your insight.
