These choices continue to get more perplexing. Having just been to Disneyland Paris, the light themeing of Fantasia Lounge in the Disneyland Hotel could work nicely. But, a multi-room BatB lounge just feels odd.
I am a bit of a cocktail geek, and I greatly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Mizner's. I like the themed lounges, but this has absolutely no appeal. Even if it's an immersive environment, venturing to Beast's castle (um... again, since it's also in the park next door?) destroys the appeal.
I would much rather see a version of Walt's from Disneyland Paris done into a bar. Which could easily feature interactive elements with characters in photos with Walt. His animatronics. Characters in period-appropriate garb. Etc. Walt is an IP not utilized that much, and I think it could be very popular without losing novelty after a few visits.
I really believe, even if surveys say otherwise, difficulty getting a BoG reservation does not translate into equal success as a bar. I anticipate a lot of non-paying attendees to look around without actually buying much in the way of drinks or food.
