I have been to Maui between Thanksgiving and Christmas and it was slow and nice
I have also been several times for Thanksgivng and crowded! And, haven't gone for December Holidays- but I found that it dropped so much after Thanksgiving and was told it picked back up close to Christmas Day. The two weeks in between were wonderful, airlines were no problem either, even with FF flights.
I have traded many times to Maui with DAE to Kahana Sands which I like. And also to KBC (Diamond) which I also like. I have stayed at WKORV but it was with SPG points. Use points for 4 nights and 5th free!

It's really close now. It's amazing how fast these trips come up sometimes.
Pono Kai is far from Marriott fancy but it feels like home to me.
Maui is the only island I haven't been to yet. We're going to plan that, probably
in 2014. I would definitely take a trade into the Schooner but Maui is a tough
trade so we'll have to see what's availible when we decide on when we are going.

I was worried about the hectic travel around the holidays. Even the trouble and
extra expense of the rental car. We will try it once and see how it goes but it
may not be next year. Maybe early December or January. We really like to miss
some of the winters up here but we always like October. Not as crowded and
nice weather, not too hot.
I plan on starting a tread for this trip. I'll try to post at night if anyone wants to
follow along. We should be able to post some pictures too.[/QUOTE]
