I think I may join the ranks of zapppop, and barf in the Dancing Waters Pond.

Or will that be the Magical Memories of Family Fun Pond?

My optimistic side wonders if this portends a permanent west coast cruise plan...

I say we bring along Jim, Ginny & Laurie and see who can project the furthest!

Al mentioned to me that the DL Hotels might be closing soon for either a major refurb or possible demolition & reconstruction. Whether they refurbish or rebuild them, the name changes to the towers wouldn't surprise me after Disney changed the name of Granville's Steakhouse to Steakhouse 55. However, I've heard no news about the names of the hotel towering changing. So for now, until someone can provide some evidence, this is just a rumor.

I can projectile vomit almost 10 feet- count me in, too!

While that bit of history with the tower names is nice, I can't quite work myself up to caring much if they change them.

Not Afraid · 05-13-2007, 08:23 PM

I don't much care what they call the towers. I can never keep the names straight anyhow. However, I LOVE the hotel. I adore the rooms and I don't want a makeover. I'll be so sad if this happens. But, the joys of Disneyland seems to be dropping one my one and I can't live in the past.

I'd be very sad to see the current Disneyland Hotel go. Boxlike though those towers are - - they just don't make standard rooms that big anymore.

For suites though .... lately I've become enamoured of the suites at the Grand Cal. They are far more stylish and beautiful than their counterparts at the DLH (though fireworks views are harder to come by at the Grand Cal.)

Of course, the Disneyland Hotel does boast the most Swankified Suite at the Resort ... the incomparable hipster paradise of the Marina Suite - - running almost the full length of the Marina Tower's penthouse level.

If they are going to demolish the DLH, we should pitch in for a going-away LoT Bacchanalia in that Suite.

In my many, many coming from out of town visits, I have only been inside an on property hotel room twice and have never stayed in one myself.

Very, very early in the days of MousPlanet I saw the inside of a Paradise Pier Hotel room with Al to get pictures of DCA construction. And the night of the big AP event the week before DCA opened we all went back to someone's room at GCH to write it up.

So, Disneyland could tear down all three and put in parking lots and I'd be fine since they are so far outside of what I look for in a hotel room (a door that locks, a bed approximately as firm as the floor, and cheap).

I haven't really heard anything about demolition but knocking DLH and PPH down and building a single, more sprawling all inclusive type resort environment strikes me as a good idea (have no idea if that is what would be in the plans if demolition is in the cards).
