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.
