Photos from Construction of Disney’s Hawaii Resort
If you’ve been looking for the next big thing to be built by the Walt Disney Company, you’ll want to point your satellite to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There on the island of Oahu in the resort area of Ko Olina you’ll find the next Disney resort.
I haven’t been so lucky to make the trip, but Disney Dean did and he’s put up a photobucket account (see gallery below) with some great photos as well as a blog post. Let me know if you see Imagineering’s Joe Rhode in any of those pictures, he’s supposed to be there somewhere; temporarily reassigned from overseeing Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

I can’t imaging going to Hawaii to a disney resort. Although Im sure it is going to be beautiful, I think if I ever get the opportunity to see Hawaii I would perfer the natural beauty rather then a theme park.
Then again Disney, Florida is just 18 hr drive or a 3 hour flight from my house in NJ so Call Me Spoiled.

The Disney Vacation Club is not a theme park – it is a hotel resort. Although there are many Disney themed characters and events, there are not rides and no theme park type activities. The DVC is just a great hotel where you can stay and expect the Disney treatment in a place that has other attractions (ex. Hilton Head Island).
Thanks so much for the update on Disney Hawaii. Ko Olino is so beatuiful, it’s almost sad to see another hotel there. But I’m glad it’s Disney!
