Well, "disaster" is the opinion of some people but not necessarily Disney's opinion. It may be true that Aulani isn't selling as fast as Disney hoped, but that doesn't equal a "disaster". All this means is that Disney doesn't get its sales money quite as fast as they were expecting. In the mean time, the do get room revenue by making these available to non-members and some pretty $$$ rates.
There are also DVC members who use their points at the 7 month mark to stay at Aulani, which then, technically, frees up points/rooms at WDW. So Disney still gets their money one way or another, just not how they intended.
