And agreed. It gets the job done (re: not starving) but it pales in comparison to breakfasts offered elsewhere.

Yes, Kacee, it was 1000 points PER DAY which made the choice a little more palatable. Maybe that's just because I'm Ambassador, or maybe that's for all platinums and above--I'm not sure.

Staying here over Thanksgiving, and starting to get very excited for our first trip to Hawaii! 
Our stay starts in a week, is there anything I should be doing now to make sure we have the best stay possible? I'm Titanium Elite and have SNAs applied, not expecting much there though. I've been in contact with the concierge to help with a few small things. All our excursions are already booked, and no plans to use a cabana. Anything else?
I saw a DP on reddit of someone that was able to talk someone at the hotel into crediting them for proper breakfast at the hotel restaurant (not Starbucks) each day of their stay because of their Titanium Elite status, has this worked for anyone else? Breakfast is a necessity for me, so I'd definitely prefer that, but also really hate any kind of confrontation, even over email. I mentioned a full breakfast to the concierge a few weeks ago and they essentially ignored it, just responding to the rest of my email.

I also recommend breakfast at the Whale's Tale beachfront shack. It is part of the resort, so you can charge to your room. They have a limited but delicious menu with (by Hawaii resort standards) reasonable prices. You can also sit right there by the ocean to enjoy the food.

I have a 5 night points stay here next year for Spring Break. My parents are staying at the Residence Inn 5 minutes away. Just wondering if they will have a problem joining us at the pool/beach some of the days. Is there a wristband system or anything? Thanks.

As an aside, in the commercial center next to the RI, we had excellent massages through Maui Deep Tissue Massage. And Monkeypod just up the street from the RI was also great (make a reservation if you plan to eat there).

There is indeed a wristband system for the pools, and they are pretty vigilant about checking for them around the pool areas. If you can put their names on your room reservation (so list four names even though only two of you are staying there) then they'll be fine.
Ellvizzle has the parking situation correct. They won't have to worry about any parking time limits at the adjacent Shops at Wailea, but depending on how mobile your parents are, they may not appreciate the somewhat long walk (which is up a decently steep hill).
