Yesterland.com Curator Werner Weiss has taken a brief respite from looking back on the history of Disney theme parks. Instead he has put together an exhaustive look at the forthcoming Disney Vacation Club / deluxe resort hotel project planned for Ko Olina on Oahu.
Within his article, Werner stars by examining what we already know about the project courtesy of Disney's press release and published concept artwork. For example:
The best clues about the Disney resort’s theme come from the rendering. The resort looks the way we mainlanders expect a Hawaiian resort to look, with thatch-roofed huts in the tradition of Polynesian villages. Even the high-rise section echoes the Polynesian look. A volcano-themed waterslide and a series of tropical lagoons suggest a pool area that could rival Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Clubs, but with an idealized Hawaiian setting.
Also included are many personal observations about this section of Oahu, a look at other area resort hotels and an overview of current developments in the Ko Olina Resort area.
