and Marina development on the western side of O'ahu.

Scheduled to open in (late) 2011

The new family friendly destination will overlook breathtaking crystal blue lagoons and white sand beaches and is planned to include 350 hotel rooms and 480 Disney Vacation Club timeshare villas.

near Ko Olina

The Disney property is next to the JW Marriott and down a couple of lagoons from Ko Olina. A walkway along the beach connects all three properties. Easily walkable from any of the three to the other. Disney, like the Marriott properties, sits along one of the man made lagoons. The beach is not private as all beaches in Hawaii are open to the public as I understand it. The lagoons have rocks out near the ocean to break any waves from coming to shore. Some lagoons are better than others for snorkeling.

I shudder even thinking about the point requirements for staying there. I thought BLT was steep then I saw the GCV point chart and Hawaii is gonna be more than that !

The points charts have not been released yet for Alauni but everyone is speculating it will be alot. I hope they're wrong.
