It is acceptable to me. Of course I would also like to see more attractions but adding a hotel, especially DVC, will give Disney a quick return on their investment so I can understand why they would do so. In fact I am surprised they did not add a hotel in WS a long time ago.
It's idiotic. Especially for a park like Epcot that has three resorts connected right next to it.
It's one thing when a park is developed with hotels as a mixed use structure like Mira Costa but, to throw them in after the fact causes all sorts of problems with layout and access, thus consuming lots of space. Plus, as we can expect, it's not like these DVC units will contain new attractions on the first level, sure maybe a shop or restaurant (BUY MORE STUFF!) but no way are they going to use expansion pads for what they should be. Instead of visiting a new world of Brazil or actually enjoying the Rhine River Cruise, we'll have the pixie dust overdosed Venetian next to the Italy pavilion. No thank you. :hurl:
I get having parks right next to the park (Boardwalk, Contemporary, even DLP Hotel I'd still consider outside the park) but to blatantly exploit land that should be used for theme park experience is ridiculous. Honestly if they want to have integrated hotels when the 5th park opens in 2130 that's fine but you've got to design the parks with these types of things in mind, they're not something you can just tack on without sacrificing major things.
