A couple of weeks ago, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts broke ground for its first resort in Hawaii. The yet-to-be-named resort is located in O’ahu at the Ko Olina Resort & Marina development and is scheduled to be opened in 2011.
This family-friendly resort will offer 350 hotel rooms, 480 Disney Vacation Club timeshare properties, expansive pools, a spa, a place for weddings, a convention center, children’s club, and restaurants. The new resort aims to offer something for the whole family from a child-friendly wading pool to a saltwater snorkel lagoon and slides through volcanic formations. The resort will be designed to reflect Hawaiian culture and architecture with materials that reflect the local terrain. To further incorporate Hawaiian culture, the resort will offer education on Hawaiian traditions and customs, as well as programs such as dance, music, and arts and crafts.
According to Jay Rasulo, Chairman of Walt Disney Parts & Resorts, “This Disney destination resort will provide a unique way for families to experience Hawaii. By blending Disney’s high standard of guest services and creative storytelling, we’ll create a place where all family members can discover the wonder of these special islands.”
Mayor Mufi Hannemann says, “Disney leaders have met with Hawaiian cultural experts to gain an understanding and appreciation of our host culture. The end result will be a resort that local residents will be proud to have on our island, and it will be a family attraction that our residents and visitors will find enjoyable and meaningful.”
