An Aulani Disney Vacation Club at Ko Olina showroom will open in July in Tokyo, even though the Oahu resort’s opening is still more than a year away.

Disney is creating an interactive family showroom at Tokyo Disney Resort in an attempt to spark interest from Japanese travelers in the Ko Olina timeshare resort, which is scheduled to open in fall 2011.

Disney Vacation Club Resorts has nearly 500 resort destinations around the world, but the showroom will be focused on a two-bedroom model of Aulani.

When completed, the resort will have 360 hotel rooms and 481 two-bedroom Disney Vacation Club villas. It also will include an 18,000-square-foot spa, two restaurants, 14,545-square-foot conference center, and 48,685 square feet of outdoor venues, including pools, hot tubs, a snorkeling lagoon and a variety of programs for children.
