Years back, my sil worked in customer relations at Magic Kingdom, Disneyworld. He was on the college program so he didnt get paid alot but he loved his job there. He told me his job was to make people happy. He was given alot of freedom and responsibility to keep the magic alive. Thier customer service is exceptional.

People go to Disneyworld and spend a week......they spend alot of money. Its not a cheap trip. I can go to Hawaii for a week cheaper than Disney. Disney isnt going anywhere so it makes good business to keep the guests happy.

All,

My waitlist cleared (I still didn't get an email) but I now have a 2BR Poolside room! I'm happy to have the extra bedroom (and my kids will be very happy).

Disney rocks!

Best,

Greg

Recommend you request a room in the Eva tower with the long balcony. We're in a 2 bedroom IV for the weekend with lots of family and the difference is huge. The single long balcony is about 4'x30' instead of the two dinky triangles in the other towers. The only draw back on a pool view might be noise from the lobby area. Since we're IV we're on the 9th floor facing the golf course. I'll try and email you some pictures this week.

Steve

That would be the xx51-xx59 rooms. My favorite as the balconies stretch the whole unit. I dont like the triangle balconies as the room seems smaller also.
Slum i am at mko right now and checking into aulani on sunday. When do you depart?

Sorry my Hawaiian spelling turns off after two beers. I was on number three when I wrote that. And yes it's pronounced Eva but spelt Ewa

Just joking with you steve! Aulani is nice and COLD right now. Where did all this wind come from. As of today the pool area was pretty empty.

We got really lucky. Weather was great last weekend when we were there. Played a round of golf on Monday and it was all wind and rain. Hopefully the wind will die down later this week. We're in Kaanapali for the long weekend. It's pretty crowded right now. Maui invitational just finished today.
