  In 2012 Disney announced plans to enhance the Aulani resort and construction started in September 2012 with an opening date of October 2013. In the Disney California Adventure Blue Sky Cellar they added some concept art for the expansion in August of 2013. Here is an overview of the display. After the concept art will be several pages of pictures from my August 2013 trip to Aulani.
