Disney shows off model of upcoming Hawaii Resort
More information has come out regarding the resort being built for Hawaii in the form of a recent press event. Here is a story from DVCNews.com with a picture of the model. Its a bit bigger than I thought I will say. The project is adding about 830 hotel and vacation time-share rooms, a “fantasy-laden water play area” and a huge spa to the Ko Olina resort area on West Oahu. It appears there will be about 350 hotel rooms and nearly 500 vacation villas. The Ko Olina area already house luxury condos and a Marriot complex.
The time share villas will, of course, be a part of the DVC family of resorts much like the stand alone resorts at Hilton Head and Vero Beach. And the joint is expected to be done by 2011. For those of us who are DVC members, this is an exciting project. I, for one, have never been to Hawaii and would love to go. Now, I can use my points.
