Disney executives met with reporters last week to continue the full court press for Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa.

The official Disney Blog has posted a work-in-progress photo of the lobby at Disney's Aulani resort in Hawai'i.  The photo is taken from a perspective nearly identical to the concept artwork below.  Click inside to see how the lobby looks now.

Disney will begin accepting hotel reservations for Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa in less than two weeks.  A list of room rates was previously posted to DVCNews.com.

Reservations for Disney Vacation Club villas are expected to begin on September 29, 2010--11 months prior to the resort's opening date.

Disney Vacation Club has begun a series of Aulani preview events similar to those held at Disneyland earlier this month.  Allears.net and JeffLangeDVD.com have coverage of the recent Florida-based shows.

Disney's Aulani resort is featured on the July 19th episode of the WDW Today podcast.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Disney Vacation Club is now mentioning the Aulani resort in television spots aring on local Orlando stations.
