Thanks... I have started on the hotels. Here is what I have so far:
Disney’s Movie Magic Resort......value
Lobby and Check-In Building –- Located at the southern side of Magic Vista
Lagoon. Façade looks like a giant movie reel and film-strip
Hand Animation -- Themeing is art supplies such as paint cans, paint brushes,
pencils, pens, paper, ink bottles, etc. Mickey Mouse and his friends show up as one of the main focal points of this area. The pool area has colored water shooting out of paint cans and giant paint brushes dripping colored water. The rooms include two queen sized beds, one TV and VCR/DVD player, cable television, two bathroom sinks, one bathtub/shower, one toilet, ironing board, safe, dining room and chairs, coffee maker, and microwave oven.
Live Action Films -- Themeing is giant video cameras, clap-boards (with various Disney Films information on each one), megaphones, film reels, microphones, etc. Each room is themed to a certain live action Disney film (Mary Poppins, Pirates of the Caribbean, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, etc. The pool area has Giant Microphones spraying mists of water out of the top part, huge megaphones gushing out waterfalls into the pool, and slides the look as though to be made from film. The rooms include one king sized bed, one twin sized bed, one TV and VCR/DVD player, cable television, two bathroom sinks, one bathtub/shower, one toilet, ironing board, safe, dining room and chairs, coffee maker, and microwave oven.
Computer Animation –- Themeing is computer towers, monitors, keyboards, mice, wire-models (like animators would make of each character on the computer), etc. Characters from Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, etc. would be the main focal point of this area. The pool area would have Nemo, Marlin, Dory and all of the aquarium fish in extra large proportions squirting water, blowing air (Bloat), and chatting on about very unimportant matters (Dory). It would also have a slide modeled after the Swirling Vortex of Terror on the EAC in Finding Nemo. The rooms include one queen sized bed, one bunk bed (two beds), one TV and VCR/DVD player, cable television, two bathroom sinks, one bathtub/shower, one toilet, ironing board, safe, dining room and chairs, coffee maker, and microwave oven.
Restaurants and Food Courts –-Located near the pool area. The Restaurant
serves moderately priced “American” style food (hamburgers, French fries, ice cream cones, hot dogs, etc. The Food Courts offer Pizza, Burgers, Deli Sandwiches, Ice Cream, Beverages, Pastries, and Seafood.
Disney’s Roman Palace Resort moderate
Lobby and Check-In -- Located at the Western side of Magic Vista
Lagoon. Located on the front-center of the giant, eight story, Classical style Palace.
Renaissance Level –- The second and third stories of the palace are themed to
Rome in the Renaissance period of History. Famous paintings and art works of Renaissance artists (Leonardo Da Vinci, etc.) can be found lining the hallways and in the guest rooms.
Classical Level –- The fourth and fifth stories of the palace are themed to Rome in the Classical period of History. Roman columns rise from floor to ceiling in many of the guest rooms (mostly suites on these levels). Remakes of statues like “David” stand in the hallways and guest rooms.
Ruins Level –- The sixth and seventh stories of the palace are themed to Modern day, historic Rome in its ruins and splendor. Broken statues, columns, etc. can be found lining the hallways and in the guest rooms.
Museum Level –- The eighth story of the palace contains a large museum of Roman artifacts, models of ancient Rome and its architecture, busts of Roman emperors and leaders, two movie theatres, and two “Traveling display” rooms. One of the movie theatres shows films about Roman History, the other shows films about the Roman gods and goddesses. Also, the back wall of this level is made almost entirely out of glass, so it gives a great view of the courtyard and gardens and best of all, the Magic Kingdom theme park.
Restaurants and Food Courts –- The restaurant at this resort is a moderately priced, Italian cuisine restaurant. The food courts sell Burgers, Beverages, Deli Sandwiches, Pizza, Ice Cream, and Pastries.
For the deluxe resort, I was thinking about a Turn-Of-The-Century style resort, much like WDW's Boardwalk Inn. It could be located either on the Boardwalk of DTD or near by it.
For the Home-Away-From-Home resort, I was thinking possibly a Norwiegian theme. Each "cabin" could be like a Norwiegian hut.
Why will it be called Disney's Magic Vista Resort with a turn of the century boardwalk theme but the only reason for its name is the view of the magic kingdom. How about this:
