I just finished a 4 night standard studio stay at Aulani. I originally had an ocean view studio, but I had set up alerts for a standard view studio and hotel room. The DVC App txt me as soon as the standard view studio became available. This saved me a ton on points. 

Aulani was wonderful as usual. My kids enjoy the water area so much. We ate sushi at the Oleó Room and that was delicious. I highly recommend staying at Aulani
