Last Sunday Ms. VanTiki and I decided to take a look at the new Disney Resort and see how it came together. I am a huge fan of 2 Disney “Grand” resorts (the Wilderness Lodge and the Grand Californian), and I was extremely curious how the imagineers would tackle a hawaii theme.

Good review, Van Tiki.
My "two coconuts" is that recreating the Hawaii theme in Hawaii is very necessary because the true Hawaiian architecture, culture and motif are, sadly, being lost. I will just give just two examples: (1) the International Market Place is to be gutted for a shiny new mall and (2) the Hula Hut, last remaining unaltered Spencecliff venue (from 1970) is now gone (and it was incredible).
