Parking at Aulani

1. how do you get an exchange into a two bedroom villa at Auluni

2. Do you known that Aulani will not give people with disabilities free valet parking like at all the other Disney Vacation Club resorts? They charged me $35 a day until I complained to DVC in Orlando.

And the people at Aulani were not nice about removing the charges either.. I would rather go to Marriott's Ko Olina any day.

But I would still like an answer to number 1. :doh:
 
Exchanges into Aulani are very difficult. We are here now and the resort is at 95% capacity.

Only 3 handicapped spaces in the parking garage. We learned to go to the very top of the garage as it is nearly empty. We can park right next to the elevator, go one floor down and you are at the lobby level.
 
Just stayed 3 weeks ago at Aulani and yes I paid a nightly parking charge and yes I also paid a $95 charge, and yes I was on RCI and got no where objecting
to the front desk.

I wish you better luck then me. I do recommend valet no extra charge except tip and it was easier than self park.

The location is amazing, and I have been to Marriott Ko o lina 7 times before, but
Disney nails it better.
 
You have to pay $35 per night for parking in addition to $95 fee on a Rci exchange? When I called concierge at Aulani, I was told I need to pay $95 and will have 2 car parking included.

got 4 weeks in a 2br using hgvc points in 2014 and 2015 at aulani. Since then haven't gotten anything with some very old ogs using hgvc rci portal. With this agreement between wyndham and dvc for special deposits not available to the rci masses,, i am not to sure we will see aulani anytime soon for exchange.

You paid $35 a night self parking on an RCI exchange? Or did you use valet parking?

I'm confused!

HGVC points has a special portal to get to Aulani that the rest of the RCI world does not? How does that work?

Can you also get two bedrooms using HGVC at Walt Disney World?
 
We got into aulani in 2014 and 2015 using hgvc points via the rci portal. We see weeks and points deposit just like a points account with rci.

No special account just hgvc has a corporate portal that lets us see rci deposits.

Have not seen a 2br at any disney location since feb last year.

Wyndham has a special arrangement with disney for dvc deposits. There have been a few postings by wyndham club members getting aulani 2br for this summer 2016. That is the only 2br disney that i have seen for over a year now. Actually only wyndham traders got aulani this year so far.

Hope this clears it up.

The resort is nice, but crowded. I'd suggest visiting some of the other Hawaiian Islands for a more 'island' feel without the traffic and crowds you see at this resort.

Do Wyndham resale have access to this exclusive Disney deposits or is this just a perk for direct purchasers at a certain level? If it's for any wyndham, I'm going to run (not walk) to buy a "free" resale :p.

Sorry but i donot know the specifics. I only know that there is a special agreement that wyndham and dvc have an agreement.
Wiuld not go out to buy any points as i donot know hownlong the agreement is for. I would guess for a while as rci owns wyndham.
 
I own Wyndham and I don't see any Aulani in the RCI exchange available . I need to do an OGS in order to try....to try to get one. Just like in the HGVC_RCI website.. We Wyndham owners has no special treatment with DVC as I far as I know. I have tried and tried RCI_ exchange to DVC but nothing so far. I am going to Aulani on my DVC points ( I own DVC as well)
 
I also have Wyndham and have never seen any "special inventory" of DVC available.
