This is my 2nd draft of the hotels at my proposed 6th Disney theme park; which consists of 5 hotels plus a campground. 4 hotels will run in the dexule to moderate range ($133+ per night), with all the services and amenities of WDW's Dexlue Resorts. The 5th will be a Value-Priced resort ($75-$124 per night). These are the hotels that will be avaliable at the time of the park's opening-- more hotels and expansions to existing hotels will occue as time goes by and the number of guests increase over the years. Once again, here is what I have so far, listed in order from most expensive/luxurious to least:
Disneyland Hotel: This is the crown jewel of the hotels at this proposed 6th Disney park. The layout is similar to the Grand Californian in Anaheim, but the architecture-- especially on the outside, is very similar to the Grand Floridian at WDW in Orlando. There are 751 rooms inside-- the same number of rooms as the Grand Californian Hotel.
Disney's Hollywood Hotel: This hotel overlooks the Disney Studios theme park, and has a Hollywood theme to it-- more of a generalized Hollywood theme with a Disney Focus, that incorporates theming from other films and studios as well. This hotel is similar to the Hollywood Hotel in the soon-to-open Hong Kong park, but will have a few differences as well. There are 600 rooms inside Disney's Hollywood Hotel
Disney's Contemporary Resort: Overlooking the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary similar to its WDW counterpart, but not quite. For example, all rooms are inside the tower-- which includes 730 rooms in an 18 floor tower (as opposed to WDW's 393 tower rooms and 15 floors). Also, there will be primarily different shops and restaurants. For example, Chef Mickey's is located at Downtown Disney instead of here, so a new character meal at the Contemporary Cafe replaces it (this is a character breakfast with a menu similar to AK's Donald's Breakfastosaurus, but stripped of its dinosaur/safari theming). I chose the Contemporary, despite WDW having one, since I always found it to be a facinating building to look at; especially with the monorail going right through!
Paradise Pier Hotel: Despite the name similarity to its Disneyland counterpart, this hotel will be different in many ways-- all I can think of so far are different shops and restaurants, as well as a possibly different design and layout (even slight differences should be incorporated, IMHO) Paradise Pier Hotel has 502 rooms inside.
Disney's All-Stars: Similar to All-Star Movies at WDW, Disney's All-Stars is my proposed park's Value-priced resort. It was mentioned earlier that this was too similar to the Hollywood Hotel; so the theming was changed to represent the characters instead of their films. The All-Stars is broken up into 12 buildings (160 rooms per building), with 2 buildings per theme. Here is what I have so far:
1.) 101 Dalmations (even though this is the film's title, the 101 Dalmations are still the main characters!)
2.) Aladdin
3.) Buzz and Woody's: This this the Toy Story themed area, but the name was changed for reasons described above!
4.) The Duck Pond (formerly 3 Calliberos, The Duck Pond focuses on Donald Duck, as well as Daisy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie; as well as Uncle Scrooge and other characters from this set of characters. In addition, Goofy and Pluto may show up occasionally in the themed decor. Includes the Duck Pond Pool-- one of the 2 swimming pools in the resort, which includes a centerpiece of Donald and his other duck costars shooting water pistols into the pool, much like the Calypso Pool centerpiece at WDW's All-Star Music!)
5.) House of Mouse: themed around Mickey and Minnie Mouse, much like the Fantasia inns, but with more of a generalized Mickey Mouse theme. Also like the Duck Pond, Goofy and Pluto may show up on occasion in the decor.
6.) The Little Mermaid: includes a Little Mermaid Pool, which includes a shallower kiddie pool
Disney's All-Stars has a total of 1,920 rooms. The All-Stars hall is the main building; which houses the offices, food court, snack bar, and lounge/bar.
Disneyland Campground: Similar to Fort Wilderness at WDW; Disneyland Campground has 207 campsites (same number as Carowinds Campground at Paramount's Carowinds in Charlotte, NC), along with 108 cabins. This gives us a total of 315 "rooms"-- for lack of a better term!
The 5 hotels and the campground give us a grand total of 4,818 rooms-- more than twice the number of hotel rooms at Disneyland Anaheim (2,248 between its 3 hotels), but still a fraction the nearly 30,000 rooms/suites/villas/campsites WDW offers between its numerous resorts. Nevertheless, I think what I came up with is sufficient! If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post!
