Disney Hawaii (Ko Olina) Photo Update 4/7/09

[snackyx]

Just back from a week in Ko Olina in Oahu where DVC is constructing their newest addition. I am an owner at Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club (just down the shore from Disney) and own DVC. These are current construction photos showing the progress of the project plus some shots of the location. The first two photos are of the construction site taken from the J.W. Marriott Ihilani hotel which is directly adjacent to the DVC project. The third photo shows the Ihilani hotel on the left and the DVC project on the right (the green construction tarp lines the front of the property). Fourth photo is a shot from the Ihilani side shooting in the other direction. Fifth photo is the view standing in the center of the DVC project looking out over the lagoon/ocean. The last photo is taken from the balcony of our condo from the 14th floor of the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Resort to give you an idea of the kind of landscapes this area has. Note the Marriott Ihilani Hotel that appears in this last photo photo: it is down the shore on the left--the DVC project is being built to the right of the Ihilani.

One can get used to this scenery really fast.

Fantastic photos! Thanks a million!

It looks like things are progressing (despite the nay sayers.) We hope to stay there in 2013 for our 15th anniversary.

Beautiful! I'm with the PP - wonder how tough of a 7 month reservation it will be? What's "peak" time in Hawaii? I would love to take my family here on our points someday!

And I was just thinking about how things were going!! Thanks for posting the great pics! We love Hawaii and can't wait until Disney arrives! Looks like DVC Mike is going to need another home resort!! I wonder if there is any chance I can hold off addonitis until they start selling!! What probably 18 months from now??

 

[HilsNPaul]

Does anyone know when they will start selling? I'm dying to know!
