Psst. I want to let you in on a secret. Disney’s Best Kept Secret, actually. What, you’ve heard of it?! I thought those giant billboards, bus advertisements, numerous in-resort and in-park kiosks, dedicated tv station, pins and buttons, stickers, etc., were only directed at me. Apparently the marketing line is a bit of a misnomer.

An in-depth look at the Disney Vacation Club Open House tour offered at Disney World

Let me explain why I bought into the Disney Vacation Club. My initial reason for becoming a DVC Member was to stay at the Boardwalk Resort. Plain and simple.

Aulani, Disney’s new Hawaiian resort, will open in late 2011 in Ko Olina, Oahu, with Chef Patrick Callarec at the helm of Aulani’s dining establishments.

Celebrating Hawaiian culture and history as well as the sense of harmony embodied in the Aloha spirit has been a guiding principle for Disney since beginning work on Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, set to open next year in Ko Olina, Hawai’i. A clear example of dedication to this principle is the artwork to be displayed in the resort, and for one project, Disney called upon the children of Hawai’i to lend a helping hand.
