New Hotel at STOLPort site?

It's STOLport... and it's not exclusive to Disney. It means Short Takeoff and Landing (air)port. Someone can probably find a pic, but it's just east of the Petty driving experience, MK parking booths and the MK/Epcot monorail line. South by Southwest of Wilderness Lodge.

EDIT: spelling

Here's some concept art from way back in the day. It is from WDWHistory.com; a website worth checking out. The graphic also has some resorts that were never built.

Thanks to Napnet for first finding this old map (posted in another thread with a similar topic).

I don't think that link works. It won't load for me. Anyways, I think this all sound pretty cool. I think the Tipton would be an interesting concept and could survive without the show. Keep in mind it is based off the show, not living with the show. After The Suite Life gets taken off of television, they could promote it just like they do all of their other hotels.

Ahhh, I just ran a search on the word "search" and it's been said before. So all of you suggesting people do a search, well do a search and you'll see that doing a search has been mentioned before... :D

I'm all for the school of thought that hotels/attractions should be originals, not based off of something else. Think of the following:

Rides that have original themes:
Small World
All four Mountains in the "world"
Haunted Mansion
Jungle Cruise
Soarin

No "characters" involved, and yet still popular!

Now rides based off of "come and go shows that haven't proven themselves":
Stitch

And well, I think you can agree, it is a flop.

Now granted, some rides are based on movies, and are quite popular:
Peter Pan
Dumbo
Philaharmagic
Festival of the Lion King
Tower of Terror

but they are classic movies and have already stood the test of time.

Basing a hotel/attraction off of something that hasn't "proven" itself is just a silly move. Granted, I love the Suite Life, and a hotel idea is nifty, it just wouldn't last. If Disney owned the rights to Eloise, then a Plaza hotel would fit, as that's already stood the test of time.

I doubt it. If they do I have lost all faith in WDI. Not that I actually think they would be idiotic enough to base a hotel off of a stupid tv show on that hideous channel that bears the Disney name.

That statement was for everyone. I wasn't trying to single you out. There has been, in general, an excessive amount of rudeness and short tempers on the boards lately. We are all here for fun, let's try to keep it light and airy.

:wave: Hey hey! I like your website. Thanks for posting it. Those maps & pics of Western Way are helpful as well (I was trying to explain it to my dad). Keep up the good work and feel free to let us know when you make additions! (I didn't get a chance to check out your movie section yet, but I will get to it soon and let you know what I think...seeing as how I'm a film student/writer.)

Oh, and Celticdog... I agree with the sentiment that everyone should play nice. Lively debate and discussion is vital to this website, but cheap shots and name calling walks a fine line and turns people off from contributing. (Okay, I'm done stating the obvious.)
