This is a repost of my list of hotels which will be at my proposed Disney theme park resort as of opening day, with a few minor revisions-- consisting of 4 hotels plus a campground. 3 hotels run in the Deluxe to Moderate price range ($133+ per night), while the 4th is a Value-priced resort ($77-$124 per night). These hotels are listed in order from most expensive/luxurious to least. Here is what I have now:
Disneyland Hotel: This is the crown jewels of the hotels in my proposed Disney theme park resort. The architecture is very much like that of the Grand Floridian, but the layout is more like that of Disneyland's Grand Californian, with all rooms in one building and six floors instead the Grand Floridian's and the Grand Californian's (I think) five. The Disneyland Hotel also includes the Neverland Pool, based on the Disney movie Peter Pan-- similar to the pool at the Disneyland (Anaheim) Hotel, but larger to accomodate more guests. There are 600 rooms inside the Disneyland Hotel, which overlooks the Magic Kingdom theme park.
Disney's Hollywood Hotel: This hotel overlooks the Disney Studios theme park, and has a Hollywood theme to it, with somewhat of a Disney focus. The Hollywood Hotel is quite similar to the Hollywood Hotel in the soon-to-open Hong Kong theme park, but may include a few differences as well. There are 502 rooms inside Disney's Hollywood Hotel, the same number as Disneyland's Paradise Pier Hotel.
Disney's Contemporary Resort: Overlooking the Discoveryland side of the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary Resort is similar to its WDW counterpart, but with numerous differences as well. For example, Chef Mickey's is located in Downtown Disney instead of here, and is replaced by the Contemporary Café. The Contemporary Café has a character breakfast each morning, with a menu similar to Donald's Breakastosarus, but stripped of its dinosaur/safari theming. Despite the fact that WDW has the Contemporary, I chose this since I always found the Contemporary to be a facinating building to look at, especially with the monorail going right though the building! There are 393 rooms inside the Contemporary; which is the same number that its WDW counterpart has inside the tower, as no annex wings have been built yet, obviously!
Disney's All-Stars Resort: Disney's All-Stars is similar to All-Star Movies at WDW, but focusing on the characters instead of their movies. This is our Value resort, with rooms spanning 320 square feet (as opposed to ASM's 260 square foot rooms). The All-Stars is broken up into 8 buildings, with 96 rooms in each building (shaped like a straight rectangle unlike ASM's T-shaped inns) on three floors, with two buildings per theme. Here is what I have for Disney's All-Stars:
1.) 101 Dalmations: even though this is the film's title, the 101 Dalmations are still the movie's main characters!
2.) Buzz & Woody's: This is the Toy Story-themed area, but the name was changed for reasons mentioned above.
3.) House of Mouse: This features the "Big 5" (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto); along with their frequent costars (Daisy, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Chip & Dale, etc.). The House of Mouse also features the Duck Pond Pool, which includes a centerpiece of Donald and other duck costars shooting water pistols into the pool, much like the Calypso Pool's centerpiece at WDW's All-Star Music! There is also a small, shallower kiddie pool next to the main one. The pool sits in the middle of the cluster of motel buildings, with the main building at one end, and room for expansion at the other end of the complex.
4.) Pooh Corner: which features Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, et. al.
Disney's All-Stars has a total of 768 rooms, with room for building more inns whenever the time comes for expansion. 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 consists of 207 campsites, along with 108 cabins. This gives us a total of 315 "rooms", for lack of a better term!
The 4 hotels and the campground give us a Grand Total of 2,578 rooms/cabins/campsites combined; roughly the same number as Disneyland's in Anaheim, CA, but only about 1/12 the 30,000 rooms/cabins/campsites WDW offers within its numerous resorts! Nevertheless, I think what I came up with for a new Disney theme park resort is sufficient. If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post!
