Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Ko Olina, Hawai`i Animated Fly-Over Video

[ix3myxcuti3]

I just got back a week ago from here. It was very nice, but there are a lot of downfalls. It did not feel like we were actually in Hawaii because of the man-made beaches in the area without waves, it's far away from a lot of the tourist attractions in hawaii so you need to rent a car or pay for a shuttle, and there are not to many options in terms of food because they only have two restaurants, a cafe and bar. The bar had good food, but it gets boring eating burgers all the time, the cafe has

[LightningLAX12]

got home yesterday here from a 7 day stay and i would rather go here for a week then disney in orlando any day. I snorkled with so many fish in the salt water tank in the pool area and even more in the ocean along with a shark and a few sea turtles. this place is awsome and there are characters so there is still disney here

[b2uty4maknae]

I guess it's ok. I'm happy there's no tacky, BRIGHT red aloha shirts that tourist wear and HUGE plastic palm trees. It's good. I like how they tried to stick to the REAL HAWAII feel not the Lilo and Stitch kind wear everyone wears aloha print and lives in wooden/grass houses....

[YanadaMako]

looks stupid.

i live in hawaii... and we shouldn't even have enough money to build all this...

disneyland/world is all about the rides! (in my opinion)

not pools & spas -.-

[vegasvinyl1]

Just booked a room for Christmas week 2011. Can't wait!!!

[Leeeeeeexi]

I live in Hawai'i. My friends call me Disney obsessed, and I admit I am. I only go to Disneyland once every year or two. Seeing this, made me the happiest person. LOL

[jomom]

Too big. Cattle call anyone?They need to spend less, think smaller, then they wouldn't have to make it necessary to cram so many people at a time, and could still make a nice enough profit. I love Disney, but a GIANT mega hotel is not "the spirit of Hawaii" Vegas maybe.

[Michael808702]

@jomom i completely agree with this the hotels around Ko Olina have 300-400 rooms each hotel Disney has like a million which belongs in Las Vegas not a Hawaiian island

[armywife42A]

I cant wait to actually stay there.Every weekend were at that lagoon swimming. I wonder when are they going to post jobs,i would love to work there too!! So good to live in Hawaii.I can see it being busy, just please make more parking for the locals lol.!!! Bad enough to find parking to swim there.

[komakoma876]

I can see the building structure from my house...I hope I can find a job there. It would be a neat experience.

[rollyb1890]

I don't like it. It's too tall. I've been to the islands twice and I thought they had a 4 story high limit on structures, or was that only on Kauai? Part of the magic of the islands is to be able to SEE the natural beauty around you. All this does is block it with concrete and steel. I don't understand how this ever got approved.

[supersuperwendydvc]

Amazing! The DVC point charts are out for Aulani! I can't wait to stay here some day!

[mz1nnocent]

pretty cool! this is one of my dad's construction projects the moment :)

[annielwhite]

leave hawaii alone

[SaintInTraining]

@annielwhite LOL!!! LEAVE Hawaii ALONE!!! heeheehee

[Kylie66100]

wow people. its not the actual thing. its an animated proposed version. anyways, there are going to be disney characters there. you cant get all judge mental about an animated fly over video :/

[TheAnugirl]

my mom might work there and we are going for grand opening my mom work at hilton waikoloa villa hope she get discount at this hotel it would be amazing.wish me good luck by comenting or likeing it

[XDsmarties]

im excited! i only live like 30 minutes away ! XD

[chelsfavs]

I am so excited. My family and I will be going almost every month because I live around that area:)!

I am so EXCITED, haha, and of course we are all expecting to see lilo&stitch!

[WaterSlideDatabase]

Its beautiful! Two waterslides at the resort; one enclosed and one open roof.

[stephe1987]

Where is Mickey? On the tiles? :( I like the waterslide but it needs more Disney to it.

[cooknthyme]

more of the Disney is usually on the inside

[ffloliv]

I think that these buildings are too high, it's not agreable

[divacat80]

I agree. In Spain we're working hard to stop beachfront resorts with tall buildings and now they're building this in Hawaii? I guess it follows the line of the other existing resorts but these buildings are so out of place...

[PHOTOSTIX]

Looks Nice!

[slave2moonlight]

They need to inject some Lilo and Stitch flavor into this, then I'll be more psyched about going there. I like to get absorbed in Disney when I go to a "Disney" place. Anyway, at least now I'm more interested in visiting Hawaii someday.

[glenhaskell]

there will be 2 restaurants, lilo and stitch will make their appearances, along with mickey and friends

[slave2moonlight]

Glad to hear it. :)

[Firewingflock]

Yeah when it said hawaii i thought there would be some lilo and stitch.

[LyricQueen1]

love everything disney disney will always be in my hearts i promise

[Michael808702]

ahh i really dont like where its located, i like the resort and all but the location is not a good spot next door theirs a 5 star resort non- family style resort and out of no where a family style resort sharing a lagoon with couples who wants quite. not a good idea location wise.

[darkriku2464]

ya ive been to that part of hawaii and it is beutiful

[SJANELJ]

AWSOME!!!

[originalprettybird]

I love being a DVC member. I can't wait to stay there!

[krazykobra29]

it reminds me of the one by animal kingdom

[babiigurltiffy]

polynesian?

[jakedidger]

I love the idea but the hotel concept doesn't look very good It looks kind of outdated and its not evan built yet

[dogtherock]

So beautiful! Keep up the good work Disney!

[Mephiles602]

What made Disney choose to build a hotel outside of the parks? I like the idea a lot. The pure fact that it's Disney will make the hotel very popular.

[0Chelle0]

Disney have tons of Hotels outside the many parks. You should look at the Disney Vacation Club.

[Quintinlicious]

My niece's name is Aulani!

[LilMissMadHatterBell]

i think iits preddy but the buildings are too high...might make it look too touristy.

[thylacinehunter]

What does this mean we finally get The Kingdom Hearts park?!? Destiny Islands would be perfect in Hawaii!

-thylacinehunter

[britkillah]

no, it means the Disney Vacation Club are building a resort in Hawaii

[Empronmovies]

That hotel looks awesome. I would love to stay there!

[thwongterry]

what does the word aulani mean?

[MrSJoEJoNaS1771]

my mom told me she was gonna wait to go on vacation to hawaii until this was built. so yay! i get to go to hawaii soon!

[EricV89]

It's nice but I think you guys should add A Disney company logo or sign, like a real big sign or arch that says Disney or something with a disney name in it!

[MBYOBM]

WOW, Disney has too much money.

[KerriCP]

@MBYOBM i know, right? can we have some? lol

[lovethosejobros92]

can you say AMAZING??? :)

[randomchiick1]

I wanna gggooo(: & OMG. this looks sooo real.

[ChrisB2007]

I think Disney has really outdone themselves on this one, simply amazing!

[GayDessert]

Wouldn't there be a risk of flooding or something? It only looks maybe 10 feet above sea level. O.o

[GotKn1fe]

Umm no ?

[juanpablofx]

That looks like a really cool pool area

[Lupineknight]

Wow!! Can't wait to see it when its finished!!

[sszaugg]

I wanna go!! Looks amazing!

[windblowinmyhawo]

thats so awesome

i really want to go!!

[MrThemeParkAudios]

OMG! It looks beautiful. It will be alot cooler when it's finished!

[E4Studios]

Hope to see this thing soon in real life
