Located across the street from the future home of Disney's Ko Olina resort in Hawai'i, two new retail centers have announced a number of incoming tenants shortly before their opening.

This weekend's Honolulu Advertiser takes a look at progress on the new Disney Vacation Club resort under construction on the island of O'ahu.

Disney did not reveal a lot of information regarding its Ko O'lina resort during the D23 Expo.  However, between the resort model and concept artwork on display, and discussions with Disney Cast Members present, many interesting details about this project continue to emerge.
