The asymptotic distribution of the area $V_n$ outside the convex hull of $n$ i.i.d. points uniformly distributed on the two-dimensional unit disk is studied. The asymptotic variance of $V_n$ is found to be of the order $n^{-5/3}$, and the asymptotic distribution of $V_n$ is shown to be normal. The results are obtained by carefully analyzing the strength of dependence between sample points at different locations close to the boundary of the unit disk.
