Scheduled to open Aug. 29, 2011, Aulani will be a family destination featuring Disney cast members restaurants and water slides on the beach front property.

Built on 21 acres in Ko Olina, Aulani, will feature 359 hotel rooms and 481 two-bedroom equivalent Disney Vacation Club villas.
Rooms are housed in two 15-story towers with views of the ocean, mountains and grounds.

The resort includes two restaurants, an 18,000-square-foot spa, a wedding lawn, a conference center and extensive water activities, including a central swimming pool, 900-foot tube floating watercourse, wading pool, body slides, sunset-facing hot tubs, a quiet adult pool, a snorkel lagoon, and a conservation pool.  In addition, there are the Ko Olina lagoons themselves for guests to enjoy.

The Ko Olina lagoons are four man-made lagoons on the eastern end of Oahu.  They have been a popular destination for locals and visitors to Honolulu, alike.  Aulani will be the second resort to be built at the Lagoons.

One thing the Disney Resort will probably not be offering is an on-site luau that many hotels tend to offer.  After all, both Germaine’s and Paradise Cove, two very popular luaus are located in the area.

Aulani will also include a signature kids’ club – Aunty’s Beach House – where kids can explore Hawaiian culture through fun and games, arts and crafts, and many other experiences created just for them.

And, the good news for locals is, Disney is now in the process of hiring to fill 800 job openings, bringing much needed jobs to Honolulu.
