For those wondering… Looks like this is happening 1/24 through 1/28 of 2019 (so, right now basically). Most of it is setup, filming will be 1/27 and 1/28. Expect Lagoon 1 parking to be shut down for some of this time during setup and teardown. Annoying for sure, especially if you just paid a lot to stay at Aulani but this is what Disney does in Ko Olina, they pretty much run the show here.
