I just watched the video with sound. I feel like an ivy league scholar right now.
Did he just guess they're going to raise the Monorail to go over top of the walkway?!?!?!?!?!?

And Hans! The woman really did think the new parking structure was going to be the actual hotel lmao She thought that was feasible, yet, when the guy said no, it's actually going to be flattened and made into a walkway and transportation hub she gasped with wonder and amazement lol

Maybe they're trolling the Internet by mocking obsessed Disney fans. If they are it's brilliant.

You are much kinder than I am. I recently got stuck in a YouTube loop recently watching all their videos. They have several just about the skybridge and "raising the monorail" and "lowering Harbor Blvd." They are really, really concerned about grade issues. It stole some of my brain cells and a part of my soul.
If you are feeling really brave, try looking at his YouTube channel for all the videos they made this week about monorails, Harbor, and bridges.

Yeah, I decided to not post that one about lowering Harbor. Figured some heads would explode if I did.

It's been documented in the press that Disney has purchased the Carousel. And I believe that it has been announced that it will close next year. Disney would not release renderings and plot plans with a pedestrian walkway through a motel they didn't already own.

Without getting too into it, SSG was just making a sly joke that I didn't catch.

I agree....it does 'suck' to stay in a hotel right there on Harbor.
I don't speak from experience, as I always room on W. Katella Ave, but over the years I have never really seen the appeal on staying anywhere on Harbor.
Yes, its's 'closer to the Parks', but in my view, that is actually the 'problem' as it attracts so many people and businesses that it clutters up the area something fierce.
It's extremely congested and has about as much visual charm as I-Drive in Orlando.
Lots of 'tourist traps', questionable motels ( some decent options.. ), and traffic, crowds, and more traffic.
Panhandlers, chintzy restaurants ( some decent options ), shady corners here and there.
To each there own of course, but I personally would rather stay away from the crowds and mayhem.
Why be smushed into a congested area like that when a few steps away one can enjoy some elbow room on Katella..?
Yeah, visitors from out of town typically want to stay on Harbor and be as close to the Park as possible.
Not being familiar with the area tends to make you want to stay 'right next door' to the place you are in town to visit.
I get that, but people are missing out on a better experience in my opinion.
W.Katella is great in comparison.
More scenic. Love those palm tree walkways, and the white mini lights at night.
Less crowded. The 15 / 20 minute walk to the Park is enjoyable and relaxing when you are not getting swept along by crowds of baby strollers and large groups.
Traffic is not as crazy. You can cross the wide streets without feeling like you are about to get run over...by both people and cars.
Better hotel options ( your mileage may vary ).
Best of all -
Close enough to the Parks and the action, but just far enough away to keep you away from the craziness and congestion.
YES!
That is what I like about staying on Katella the most - close, but not TOO close...if ya know what I mean!

I haven't heard a word. The Anaheim Streetcar project died completely, so that is no longer a hang-up for them. In theory they could start construction on this tomorrow since the family owns the land and everything associated with it.

I just tried to book a room one year from today for one night and their site issued this response:
.. Availability is limited for your selected dates. Please call the hotel directly or click email above to send an email request.
Did it?

My understanding is that the project has hit several roadblocks, and that the proposed route no longer goes through the Park Vue, but it seems like the project is still very much alive.
