It’s now just over three years since Disney announced that they had purchased 21 oceanfront acres on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu, where they intended to build a new Resort hotel. As we reported last week, reservations for the new Resort, now named Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Ko Olina, will open on August 2 this year. Disney Vacation Club unit sales have already begun. The first guests are expected to check into the new hotel on August 29, 2011.

Confusion has arisen following the news that the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party planned for October 3rd has been removed from the schedule. Seemingly the disruption rolls into the 4th too, with reports of people being told conflicting information that the park will close at 3pm on the 4th, others 5pm, whilst the official site lists the park as closing at 9pm. Some have even been contacted by Disney Dining to re-schedule dinner ADR’s booked at the Magic Kingdom restuarants.
So what is the reason for all this confusion you might ask. Well it is believed that a press event of some kind has moved into the evening vacated by the MNSSHP removal, with a Miley Cyrus 16th Birthday bash mooted as one possible cause (this despite her official birth date being well over a month later).
