Rates will go up $150 a night just so we can see those fiberglass Woody and Buzz statues

Darn. Was really hoping for a quality “Pixar Pier” themed hotel. The timeless qualities of a boardwalk/pier is a place I’d like to stay in. Who wants to stay in plastic-land toy story?

 

[Mac Tonight]

But can I LARP as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure????

 

[Sharon&Susan]

Makes sense considering the state of PPH right now, but I'm getting really tired of this IP in the parks. I could care less about this hotel, but it probably means we're getting another substandard Toy Story Land if the Disneyland Forever project ever comes to fruition. yaaaaaay

“Placing guests at the same scale as toys.”

I feel like “placing toys at the same scale as people” makes more sense.

Either way it’s a pig I haven’t kissed and have no intention of kissing.

Oh God I hope not. Pixar Pier next to a Toy Story Land in the same park? don’t think they would waste the valuable space on that but I could be wrong

If true, and that is a big if as it sounds like this was pre-pandemic, is that it sounds similar to the Toy Story hotel opening next month in Tokyo.

Another Toy Story Hotel? Even the Tokyo one looks bad.

Although Paradise Pier Hotel was never an amazing themed experience, I'm glad I did get a chance to stay there before they turn it into this or some other IP mess.

 

[Californian Elitist]

I’m convinced that we’re being trolled by the company.

One thing Eisner got right, even in the last years of his leadership, was hotels.

The early to mid 2000s gave us Grand Californian, Hollywood Hotel (HKDL), Animal Kingdom Lodge, even Pop Century had some novelty and appeal beyond the immediate association with Disney...

The Bobs seem to only understand hotels from a strictly utilitarian and revenue generation standpoint. It's like they've never stayed in one and can't fathom why others would.

 

[Too Many Hats]

How tacky.

Also, it’s time to move on from Toy Story.

 

[Dead2009]

Not tacky enough. Give me ALL the Toy Story.

 

[BubbaisSleep]

Pixar Pier was a downgrade so at least this is consistent.

Toy Story IP burnout? Is this all they can come up with? Yikes.

If I had to guess, I'd think that they were told to consult their copy of Bob Chapek’s Magical Guide to IP Profitability™ and chose Toy Story because it still earns.

Could there possibly be a worse offering for the price than the current paradise pier hotel anywhere on Disney property on the entire planet ?

The Tokyo Toy Story Hotel. You could stay at the nicer Sheraton next door for less.

I'd say every WDW hotel at this point, regardless of price category, is also a terrible value. Especially when they keep ditching perks like DME.
