That is true. No one has ever shown that strange agreement. Since it is run by Disney and on Disney property I have to assume they can do whatever they want with it. Disney works with what is built. We know they own the Disney Hotel. Those buildings are even older and they've never imploded them and started over even if the DVC tower looks completely out of place. Tomorrowland is mostly composed of original buildings too.
Agreed. I think that hotel agreement is about as true as Walt's frozen head or the Matterhorn falling into the lagoon if it was drained.
This is why people say here, "Don't give Disney any ideas" when they joke around.
Then why exclude that parcel from the same zoning designations as everything? Disney wants the freedom to develop all of their land in Anaheim largely as they see fit except this one little square because why?
This is like saying the trash can by the Astro Orbitor was moved therefore new Tomorrowland.
Those properties were excluded from the existing Disneyland Resort Specific Plan because Disney did not own them at the time it was created. They are now seeking to have those properties included in Disneyland Forward. Having to go through the development review process and not getting approval was a big motivating factor behind seeking an updated, more encompassing zoning arrangement for all of the property Disney currently owns.
Circumstantial evidence. Still doesn't prove the Hotel is owned by third party.

Apparently the lobby is pretty much done.
I found this photo from two weeks ago, showing a construction elevator installed and the top few floors now undergoing room refurbishments.
They are replacing the windows in all the rooms it seems. Probably an overdue upgrade since those windows are 40 years old and window technology has improved greatly the past 20 years for UV and heat reflectivity, and also sound deadening.
However the acting is better than the Marvels.
