Pool area construction in September, just our luck. Hopefully it won't close down the lazy river.

We are very excited to hear this news. If there was one thing questionable about Aulani it was how the pool area was going to handle the population once it was at full capacity. Chairs by the pool were already tough to come by when we were there in June. Hopefully the impact on peoples stays will be very minimal.

We just received an email from Aulani notifying us of some of the construction that will occurring during our visit. We'll be at Aulani from September 15 to 22, 2012. Here is the text of the email:

We're excited that you'll soon be visiting us! Over the course of our first year, Guests have told us again and again how much they've enjoyed their time at Aulani. So, in order to give our Guests more of what they love, we'll be expanding our Resort as part of our final buildout beginning in September.

This expansion will include enhancements to the Waikolohe Pool area, as well as the addition of new water features, two new Quick-service dining options and a new, larger venue for our popular Starlit Hui show.

These projects are being carefully scheduled to minimize impact to your stay, however, you will see and hear work in progress-so we hope you'll pardon our appearance and any construction-related noise. Our most popular features will be available during your stay, including:

• Waikolohe Valley pools/water fun area
• Beach access and activities
• Aunty's Beach House kids' club
• Starlit Hui show (except for a short hiatus in the fall)
• Other entertainment, including fireside storytelling, outdoor movie nights and visits from Disney Characters
• Laniwai Spa and Fitness Center
• All restaurants

Please note that the Wailana Bar and Quiet Pool will remain closed for an indefinite period of time. Also, the Makai Preserve will close permanently in early October to make way for new water features.

There is more information about the construction on the Aulani website.

We just hope that we'll be able to see the Starlight Hui and enjoy the lazy river during our stay.
