We are looking forward to building a special family resort that honors the cultural diversity of Hawai’i and reflects the spirit of aloha that makes this location so unique.
Walt Disney will be building their first resort aside from their theme parks here on Oahu and will break ground next year with completion anticipated in 2011. The theme is a family-oriented resort with 800-rooms. West Oahu is definitely expanding in terms of residential and commercial real estate. With already a tight crunch in Honolulu, it will be an interesting future for this part of Oahu. We’ll see a new economy. Read news article here.

We purchased a Condo in Ko Olina two years ago that will be open in April of 2008. Construction takes a long time.
I setup a site called http://www.disneykoolina.com to advertise our condo.
I hope that fact that Disney will be our next door neighbor will make our property values go up!
We may end up purchasing DVC points also so that we will be able to enjoy the giant pool structure that will be installed. We will have three pools at the Beach Villa but the pools at disney look like they are millions of gallons!
The Disney Ko Olina Resort layout is as follows, think of a square piece of land. One side of the square is the beach, the other three sides all have tall vertical hotel structures in a horseshoe shape around the perimiter. Inside of the horseshoe will be a giant pool structure and everything will look out over it towards the beach. It’s going to be pretty cool.
I am old surfer that grew up in Haleiwa, I think the Ko Olina resort is turning out very nice. It was pretty cool when the lagoons had been put in and no buildings were there yet.
@disneykoolina: Thanks for sharing. It sure will be an exciting development.
