15 years ago? I'd say it should have been town down 30 years ago. It was outdated when they acquired it in the 90s.

Personally, I wish Imagineers recreated Hotel Casa Del Mar in Santa Monica. Make me wish I perused in imagineering. I would have pitch that idea to corporate.

Sounds like a perfect oppty to install the spare jack-jacks on a stick leftover from the California screaming refurbIt is the same water slide that is there right now but with Nemo stuff on it. It sits on top of the parking structure screaming "World Class Hotel". They lose the wadding pool for a splash pad that probably won't be turned on because none of the splash pads in the resort are ever turned on.

Why not make castles from movies? OR a mountain? There are so many ideas from their movies or imagination instead of the boring boxes that we get, with minor theming inside. Id much rather stay in rapunzels tower hotel than a box.
Even the great success of the starcruiser could have been even more successful if it looked like a spaceship. Then again that thing is printing money so, it didnt need it.

Because people pay a lot to stay in a box with minor theming inside, all because it has Disneyland in the name.

That tweeter appears to be under the mistaken impression that there were things about PPH that were ever charming or NOT sterile.

Reminds me of some mid-range Scandinavian chain hotels I've stayed in over the years as they tend to go for the same kind of modern, minimalist aesthetic. Reads as a bit cold for a Disney hotel to me, but then I guess the old one was just ugly.

Yes, but even so, I actually think it's an improvement over how it used to look.

Yeaaaahhhhh.........uh....I try to remain optimistic. Side note: I've always had a soft spot for this hotel. It feels like it is both part of the resort (insulated/insular) and part of the real world.

So basically it's just more "bland and colorless = good". Whee.

I think the general aesthetic of the new space would be properly categorized as “less horrible”

It looks better, but bland. Even when they add the remaining details it will be bland.
Why would anyone pay so much to stay there?

It does shock me how well Disney hotels do on name only. Especially at Disneyland where you can stay in a nicer room in a much better hotel for 1/4 of the price down the street.
