I have not seen anything about a hotel. It's a private peninsula for day trips, like Castaway Cay. It is mostly trails and beach. Unless you mean, that it has bathrooms, a spa and kitchens?

My bad, I thought there was a resort component. It appears that’s not true.
Here is the DCL site detailing their proposal.

Wasn't Morpho the entire complex?

I'm asking for The Mouse to try a little harder - that's all.
You know, they actually named it "Cars Land."

They did an amazing job with Pandora, and I think it's because the movie may as well not even exist. You don't need to have seen the movie or know anything about the plot whatsoever for the land to work -- it could just as easily be something newly created for the parks. I can say that with certainty because I have never seen Avatar and know essentially nothing about it and yet the land and both rides just work.
It's far too easy to use pre-existing IP as a crutch and make something that only really works for fans.
No, not at all.
Lol!! Oh, you were serious? There’s a .000000001% chance that would get built. IMHO. Talk about a limited audience...
If Zootopia could make money here, it’d already have more of a presence in the parks. Think about it.

Well... there were plans for such at one point. Whether it still happens is another question.

If they called it Radiator Springs, 48% of guests would be confused.I'm asking for The Mouse to try a little harder - that's all.

They could have gone with "Radiator Springs - The World of Cars" just like "Pandora - The World of Avatar."
Or going by the Star Wars naming convention:
"Cars Desert's Edge: California's Radiator Springs Outpost"

You don't think kids would like to stay in a hotel where realistic animorphic animals (not just cast members in a suit) are all over the place? They could do most of it with screens. Check-in, the sloths help you (well that might take too long), in the elevator a Giraffe presses the buttons (it's his head and neck inside the car, because his body is at the bottom of the elevator shaft). The halls of the resort could look like you are in the Zootopia world, they are animated and constantly changing. You could have inside rooms (think a cruise) where the "window" is a screen (like digital portholes), and you overlook the Zootopia City, etc.

AKL is a free-roaming zoo. That's not the same thing as being inside of the Zootopia world.
This must be why WDW is full of actual mice attractions, and not people in suits or stylized animations.

Yet TDS doesn’t call Mermaid Lagoon Little Mermaid Land.

Perhaps Toy Story Land wouldn’t feel so lazy if they called it Andy’s Back Yard - The World of Toy Story. (Doesn’t that also apply to SDL?)

Again - Limited audience and appeal. Very limited.

I never said the movie was popular, but I can see the theme being popular for a resort. Stay in animal city...that's kind of cool.Nahtahzu

The movie was VERY popular, which is why it's getting a sequel, plus it won an Oscar, FWIW.
I think a Zootopia-theme hotel, with animatronic characters that could interact with you, would be kickass. That'd be way more fun than the sterile Star Wars hotel that's being built IMO.

Completely made up...as usual.
Here’s the next “expansion”: nothing.
