Across from the J.W. Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa and Ko Olina Golf Club will be a major Walt Disney property. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is in the process of building its first Hawaiian destination. The 21-acre oceanfront property is scheduled to open in the fall of 2011 (no part of the construction site cannot be seen from the Beach-Front part of the Ko Olina Beach Villas).
Just like the Marriott, the Disney destination will overlook crystal blue lagoons and white sand beaches. The project, which was first unveiled last October, is on schedule to open in 2011 at Ko Olina Resort & Marina.
Reports indicate, “The resort is also being planned to connect with the local culture of the Hawaiian Islands. The Walt Disney Imagineering team has been working with local architects and cultural experts as part of the resort’s creative design process.”
