If done in the same quality as the Mira Costa, or each Disneyland hotel at Tokyo and Paris... Them I'm ALL FOR IT. There was nothing like waking up in the morning to look out my window to THIS view:

Possible. It's been discussed and somewhat planned...but I wouldn't count on it just yet.
For now...Kinda like when people here cryptically refer to what they know from their "sources"? :lookaroun
:lol:
Cut me some slack. It's all I got.
Tokyo lies in my future. (Not the near one...more like the middle distance one.)

That sort of stuff happens at all the other parks around the world (except Hong Kong), but particularly in Anaheim and Tokyo, and to a lesser extent in Paris.
And you don't even have to be in an expensive Grand Californian or MiraCosta theme park view room either. Half the rooms in the cheaper Paradise Pier Hotel look right down into the park, like this 10 year old shot...
Paradise Pier Hotel Room View - Circa 2001 to 2008
Heck, you don't even have to rent a room at the Paradise Pier Hotel to get that view. Just step into the hotel's glass elevator and punch the 15th floor button an hour before DCA opens and you get the same view of park maintenance happening before opening. And interesting that the shot of Tokyo DisneySea from the MiraCosta earlier in this thread shows utility trucks "onstage" and barge rehearsals happening in the lagoon, etc. But no one seemed to mind.
Now, at WDW, one could argue that the Animal Kingdom Lodge DVC units have views into a theme park environment, and surely those rooms sometimes see utility trucks and CM's tending to the animals and horticulture there in that "African Veldt" themed environment. So it's already happening at WDW.
But where else could they put a hotel/DVC with direct access and views into an operating theme park at WDW? I would have to say the Magic Kingdom and Epcot is out, without at least major structural changes to each park. But in-park lodging could happen easier at DHS, and quite easy at DAK. It's an interesting thought! I'll look forward to this New Years Eve announcement, which should hit us here on the West Coast around 9PM that night!

The fact that this thread has already gone 10 pages tells me we're giving this announcement waaaaay too much excitement than what it's really going to be worth.
If you always expect the unexpected, then the unexpected soon becomes expected. (a.k.a. Don't hype everything up so much to expectations that cannot be met.)

Disney needs to lower rates for all of the resorts!

I don't think the announcement will be Sorcerers. I just looked through the latest "December Disney HELLO" email that came today.
Sorcerers was listed as its own little feature in the newsletter:
And then later on, down near the bottom:
As it specifically says "Disney Parks" and "for you to enjoy in 2012" I'm going to go out on a limb and hazard a guess that they're bringing back the "get in for free on your birthday" promotion. Or they'll take a cue from Universal's Super Bowl promo a couple years ago and give out free tickets to the first 50,000/100,000/whatever-number people who register for the promotion...

It then links to the article quoted earlier in this thread.

A DCA style re-boot over a 5 year period at DHS would be great. Refresh the shows in the Studio Courtyard, add a ride to the Pixar Place empty soundstage, rebrand the Star Tours, Indy area as LucasFilm Studios with a new ride, and finally create a Muppet Ride and refresh the Muppet Studios area (the facades are there, they just need the theme elements added).

It is going to be that the park will be open for 24 hours on leap day... Nothing to exciting here...
Universal: We are expanding your Potter experience with another cutting edge attraction.
Fans Reaction: YES!!!!! MORE TO DO IN UNIVERSAL!!!
Disney: We are staying open 24 hours...
Fans Reaction: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
PDB Reaction: See, Disney can do NO WRONG, take that Universal.... Way to go TDO!!!
I get the feeling it'll be a quick infomercial about all the things they're doing this year, probably with dates set for "sorcerers" and dumbo-land...
If they're doing this during Rockin' New Year's Eve, it's not going to be anything all that exciting for us hardcore/obsessive fans, as here they're going to be shooting for Joe-Balldropwatcher (plus, we'd have heard about any "big" plans here).

Not saying I disagree with you here...but in all fairness I do not recall a single person on any forum saying Avatar land was coming before that announcement.....so anything is possible, right?
