Noticed something I thought was interesting today in the DisneylandForward docs from Anaheim. A map showing Disney owned or leased properties seems to include the Alpine Inn.

I then found this 2021 thread here where @truecoat pointed out this same diagram that seemed to show that Disney owned the Alpine Inn land, indicated by black hash:

...and that ended that conversation.

I noticed in the DisneylandForward (2024) city documents the same diagram exists very early in the document sandwiched between pages before and after dated 2024. Why re-publish the image recently if not correct, I wonder?

Perhaps totally unrelated -- and maybe I'm not understanding correctly -- but I think Disney is acquiring Hotel Way from the city. As far as I can tell, Hotel Way lines up with the Alpine Inn. Am I locating the correct Hotel Way? If so, any ideas why they want to buy it?

Darkbeer was our resident Anaheim government expert, he passed away in 2023. He was on many committees and such over the years that had inside information on the inner workings of how Anaheim and the Disneyland Resort worked. So if said he saw documents at the time showing that Disney doesn't own Alpine I would believe him. Why they haven't been corrected in documentation who knows. But notice it does say that the hashed properties could also be "leased" by Disney, and that property specifically is a long term 3rd party lease, so it might not actually be owned by Disney. Also even if they did own it its not going anywhere for a long time if ever due to the 3rd party lease.

As for why they want Hotel Way, at the time it was mentioned that it was to help with traffic flow into and out of Disney Parking, likely TSL, as I assume that will be one of paths that the buses eventually take to get traffic off of Katella and Harbor as much as possible.

The Hotel Way that Disney took control of is this little road that entered their parking off of Disney Way.

Here is the description from the City Website regarding the roads they bought from the city. "Hotel Way" as described here is only 125 feet long and matches that little road.
"The plan also calls for Disney to pay $39.6 million to take on responsibility for Magic Way, a road 1,150 feet in length from Disneyland Drive to Walnut Street, and for entry drives into Disney parking at Clementine Street, at 575 feet in length, and Hotel Way, at 125 feet in length. Payment would also go to remove planned extensions of Clementine and Gene Autry Way"
