D23 Expo: Aulani Resort and Spa will open August 29 in Hawaii
D23 Expo guests will see this week-end a special area dedicated to the new Aulani resort inside the Disney Parks Carousel of Projects. But my good friend and former WDI Imagineer Mark Hickson is living in Hawaii, and so he's at the right place at the right time to shot some great pictures and videos of the new Aulani Resort, opening soon. On the video below, Mark filmed the Aulani lobby which was still "a buzz of activity with final installation of furnishing and fixtures at two weeks from grand opening". Mark has also uploaded some great pictures as well as another video on his blog Disney by Mark, don't miss them!
And the Aulani's water park, you ask? Well, this new Disney Parks video will show you the "many ways to get wet" when the Aulani will open on August 29!

i dislike the scale of the architecture. space is scarce there, yes, but they created a canyon of buildings with a mini water park inside... this could be in vegas as well. disney can do better.
I quite agree with you with the "canyon of buildings", i never understood why there is not a larger space between them. Well, actually i think it's simply because it would have mean to buy more land, which means more money... but still i think it's a mistake, they should have had a larger space between the buildings...
It's a nice beach hotel, though not a big deal as we expect from Disney.
The Atlantis on Paradise has more or less the same concept, but is a much nicer and bigger hotel.
