I’m going to check again today. Popcorn was at the Ulu Cafe right? That’s where I asked the other day.

I don’t see anyone checking wrists though. First day here we sat in chairs w/o them…. Maybe life guards look as you float by on the lazy river? It’s not very crowded now.

Oh you get your towel with a band too.

Finally got a reservation for Hanauma Bay on 9/11 our wedding anniversary :partying_face: DH didn’t want to make the drive w/o one and risk not getting in. It’s $25 per person. Pros4.hnl.info you need to create an account to login.

Random thoughts (posted in TR too)

  1. Tap water is really good here not like FL/WDW
  2. Checked in 9/5. Mousekeeping came today cleaned bathrooms 9/9. They pick up trash every day
  3. All pools are salt water pools

Aulani details: There are two sides; male , female. Can’t remember Hawaiian names. The female side , we’re in, are all DVC room types . Male side is a mix of DVC and regular hotel rooms. The male side is connected to parking garage and Ulu Cafe is at base along w/ morning coffee bar (opens 0600). We want male side next time b/c hike to car is a drag

Observation: there are oddles of lounge chairs but if you want a table to sit and eat at your SOL b/c they are maybe 10 in the whole outdoor area

Interesting. I guess we were on the male side. I had no idea. The coffee bar wasn’t open when we were there. :cry:

Once again, glad I cancelled my trip. That would be super annoying.
