Aulani deal: up to 35% off Disney’s Hawaii resort next spring

Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa is offering up to 35% off select spring 2027 stays of five nights or more, or up to 40% for Disney Visa Cardmembers. Book by Nov. 11 for a $150 credit.

Thinking about Hawaii next spring? Aulani, Disney’s resort on Oahu, is offering up to 35% off select stays from April 1 to May 27, 2027, according to the resort’s special offers page.

Disney Visa Cardmembers get a bigger cut, up to 40%. WDWNT reported the deal Oct. 27 and led with the 40% number, but that one is only for Disney Visa holders.

There’s a bonus for booking early too. More on that below.

How much can I save at Aulani in spring 2027?

It depends on your dates and how long you stay. Here’s the breakdown from Disney’s offer pages, with the Disney Visa rate first and the regular rate after:

• April 1 to May 7, 2027, five or more nights: 40% off, or 35% for everyone else

• April 1 to May 7, 2027, four nights: 35% off, or 30%

• May 8 to 27, 2027, five or more nights: 30% off, or 25%

• May 8 to 27, 2027, four nights: 25% off, or 20%

You have to check out no later than May 28, 2027.

What are the rules for the Aulani discount?

The offer covers “select rooms and villas.” Suites and the three-bedroom Grand Villas are left out.

You can book up to two rooms per reservation, and your nights have to be in a row. To get the Disney Visa rate, you need to pay the deposit with a Disney Visa card.

WDWNT and Disney Fanatic said the offer can be booked through April 1, 2027. The official page we read clearly listed the Nov. 11 cutoff for the resort credit, so double-check the booking window when you reserve.

What is the Aulani $150 resort credit?

Book a stay of four or more nights between Oct. 27 and Nov. 11, 2026, and you get a $150 resort credit, per Disney’s page.

That can cover a dinner, some time at the spa or a few rounds of shave ice for the kids. That’s a decent reason to book sooner.

Where is Aulani?

Aulani sits at Ko Olina on the west side of Oahu, about 30 minutes from Honolulu’s airport without traffic. It opened Aug. 29, 2011.

The resort has 351 hotel rooms and 481 Disney Vacation Club villas on 21 acres. It has a lazy river, a snorkel lagoon, a kids’ club and character meet-and-greets, with Mickey and friends in island outfits.

It’s the only Disney resort in Hawaii, and it doesn’t come with a theme park. That’s the point. It’s a beach vacation with Disney touches.

Disney Vacation Club members can also book Aulani with points, which is a separate system from this cash discount. The offer here is for regular room and villa bookings paid in dollars.

Is anything filming at Aulani?

Possibly. WDWNT reported Oct. 26 that an unnamed “national television production” will use part of the Ko Olina beach from Jan. 23 to 28, 2027.

WDWNT guessed it could be “American Idol,” which has filmed at Aulani before, but nothing is confirmed. That’s in January, so it won’t affect spring travelers.

Is spring a good time to visit Aulani?

For a lot of families, yes. April and May fall between the busy winter holidays and the summer rush, and Hawaii’s weather is warm year-round.

The bigger discounts cover early April through May 7, so families with spring break in that window get the best price. If your kids are out in late May, you’ll still save, just a little less.

If you’re coming from the mainland, airfare is the other big piece of the budget. Spring fares to Honolulu are often lower than winter holiday fares, which helps the math.

Pair that with the resort credit if you book by Nov. 11, and a spring Aulani trip starts to look a lot more doable than a holiday-week one. Just watch the room category, since the cheapest rooms tend to go first when a sale like this hits.

Aulani isn’t cheap, even on sale. But 35% off a five-night stay is a real chunk of money, and the $150 credit makes it a little sweeter.
