Why Didn't Disney Build a Hawaiian Themed Hotel Instead?

You can see it in this snip of the resort master plan. 明日世界 is Tomorrowland. 酒店 is hotel. 明日世界酒店 Is Tomorrowland Hotel, the label that appears on the now Toy Story Hotel. I’m not sure of the story behind why it changed.

Thanks. I've never understood the architectural purpose of that structure in the Toy Story world. Without fathoming what the original Tomorrowland intent was, it somehow makes more sense in that context.

I imagine, in some part, for the same reason they originally didn't want to build PotC at WDW.
