I’ve been thinking about the elusive Anaheim Star Wars Hotel that was apparently considered, but moved to the back burner (wisely, I think, pending results in Orlando). But I have to wonder if the early site plans for the Anaheim version were also a victim of the toxic politics that led to the cancellation of the Eastern Gateway.
Is the Cleo parking structure, now replacing the previously-planned east-side structure, swallowing the best possible site that TDA could have situated a Star wars Hotel? It’s directly across Disneyland Drive from the southern half of Anaheim’s SW:GE, the southern tip of which is an area that is unique to Anaheim’s version, and most able to be adapted with, oh let’s say a space hotel's tourist shuttle landing terminus from a simulator vehicle from the “space hotel” that would actually just be crossing a short-hop track over Disneyland Drive?
And it really wouldn’t have mattered if they built an extraordinarily expensive resort hotel abutting an ugly parking garage if there were no external views from inside. Just a thought.
