Plan Your Aulani Resort & Spa Vacation With an Aulani Travel Agent
Free planning, the same Disney pricing you’d get if you booked directly, and real support from a certified Disney travel agent who works with Disney resort stays every day.
If you’re thinking about an Aulani resort vacation, we're here to help. We’ll help you figure out everything from the right room or villa to how your Disney Aulani vacation fits into a wider Hawaiian getaway.
This isn’t a theme park-style trip like Walt Disney World or a Disney Cruise Line sailing. An Aulani trip is slower, more relaxed, and very much beach-focused. It's a Disney resort spa experience on Oahu where Disney touches sit alongside Hawaiian culture.

What is an Aulani Resort?
Aulani Resort is a Disney resort located on Oahu’s leeward coast, around 25 minutes from Honolulu airport. It’s a beachfront Disney resort spa, not a theme park, so you won't find any rides like at Walt Disney World. Instead, the focus is on relaxation, ocean access, and Hawaiian storytelling.
Here's what you actually get at Aulani Resort:

Same pricing as booking direct with Disney resort systems.
No fees for planning your Aulani vacations.
Access to live Disney’s Aulani Resort availability.
Support before and during your Aulani trip.
Help comparing rooms, villas, and vacation packages.
Advice tailored to your Hawaiian vacation goals.
Unlike booking a generic resort hotel, Aulani requires understanding view types, seasons, and how the Disney resort spa experience actually works on Oahu.
A quick note, because there’s a lot of confusing language online: there’s no official “Certified Disney Travel Agent” title recognized by Disney. What actually matters for Aulani planning is agency-level EarMarked status and Disney College of Knowledge training — and we have both.
Aulani ResortRooms and Villas
Aulani Resort offers two main accommodation styles, each suited to different Aulani vacations.

Standard hotel rooms at Aulani Resort include Standard View rooms, Partial Ocean View rooms, Ocean View rooms, and Club Level rooms.
Hotel Rooms at Aulani Resort
These rooms are ideal for shorter Aulani trips and typically sleep up to four guests. They don't include a separate living room or kitchen space, making them closer to a traditional resort hotel setup.

The villa side of Aulani Resort is part of Disney Vacation Club but can be booked without membership. Options include studio villas, one-bedroom villas with a separate living room, two-bedroom villas, and three-bedroom Grand Villas.
Villas at Aulani Resort
Villas are especially useful for longer Disney Aulani vacations or larger families. Many include kitchens and laundry facilities, which can make a noticeable difference on a Hawaiian vacation.

The Best Time to Visit Aulani
The best times to visit Aulani Resort are generally late April to mid-May, September, and October, when you’ll often find a better balance of availability, pricing, and crowd levels. These shoulder-season periods are usually more relaxed for an Aulani vacation while still offering consistently warm weather.
We recommend avoiding peak travel periods if possible, including summer break, Thanksgiving week, Christmas and New Year, and Hawaii spring break periods, as these tend to be the busiest and most expensive times for Aulani vacations.
The weather at Aulani Resort stays warm year-round, so there isn’t a bad time in terms of temperature.

Extra Coststo Plan For
Some experiences and services sit outside the standard room rate and should be budgeted for separately, including character dining experiences, spa treatments at the Disney resort spa, luau evenings and special poolside venue events. When we build your quote, we factor the extras you actually want into the conversation so the final number isn’t a surprise.
What to do Beyond Aulani Resort
A Disney Aulani vacation really comes into its own when you mix time at the resort with exploring more of Oahu. It’s worth getting out and seeing what the island has to offer, especially if you want your trip to feel more varied and memorable. Popular day trips include:

Pearl Harbor National Memorial
North Shore beaches
Polynesian Cultural Center
Diamond Head hikes

Most guests treat Aulani Resort as the base for a wider Hawaiian vacation, and many choose to hire a rental car so they can easily explore Oahu at their own pace, from the North Shore to Pearl Harbor and everything in between.
