Aulani Resort Flash Takeover, Promos & Virtual Tour
Client: Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online

My Role: Flash Lead, Flash Designer, Visual Designer:
I worked closely with WDPRO Vacation Club team to help develop flash media to takeover the members homepage to promote Disney’s new Aulani Resort and Spa in Hawai’i. I’ve been through several generations of the Disney Vacation Club site and have worked on a variety of different cycles of homepage experience.
Challenge:
Create a video wave that overflows the page to display a flash takeover. There are basically three sections of the takeover including a slideshow. There is also logic to track number of page visits to turn off the takeover after a few visits. It also needed to open and close on a div layer.
Solution:
The takeover uses external video, xml, flash stored objects and external interface calls to javascript functions to create media experience. I also built a custom Aulani Virtual Tour application with multiple chapters of images, slideshows and music. There also were custom ‘easter egg’ menehune banner ad / promos that revealed hidden animation and information with user interaction.
