Walt Disney Parks & Resorts announced Wednesday it has bought 21 acres of oceanfront property on the western side of Oahu that it will use to build an 800-room hotel complex. It won't be Disneyland Hawaii, but even without a theme park there will be plenty to entertain the family.

Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo assures locals that the resort will emphasize Hawaiian culture. The resort "will give our guests another way to visit a place that they've loved for many years," Rasulo said. "As the crossroads of Asia, it is your diverse culture that makes this place so special."

Amenities will include include educational and cultural activities, including local entertainers and hula dancers.
