Disney has finally put up a website for the massive resort it’s building in Hawaii. Called Aulani, the 21-acre, family-focused hotel is located on the island of Ohau featuring “ocean views, glistening white sandy beaches, a pristine cove, lush tropical foliage, a water garden and salt-water lagoons perfect for swimming and snorkeling.” The site features conceptual renderings and construction photos & videos and will be updated throughout the resorts build.
Disney worked with the locals to learn about Hawaiian customs and history in order to integrate it with the resort: pathfinding symbols on the floor of the lobby point makai, “towards the ocean,” or mauka, “towards the mountain,” menehune are hidden throughout the resort for children to find.
The resort is scheduled to open in 2011 and will feature both regular room and Vacation Club villas (Disney’s timeshare program).
