KentB3 · 04-15-2004

This is my list of hotels which will be at my proposed Disney theme park as of opening day, which will consist of 4 hotels plus a campground. 3 hotels will run in the Deluxe to Moderate price range ($133+ per night), and the 4th is a Value-priced resort ($70-$124 per night) much like the 3 All Stars resorts and the new Pop Century resort at Walt Disney World. These hotels are listed in order from most expensive to least. Here is what I have so far:

Disneyland Hotel: This is the crown jewel of the hotels at my Disney theme park complex, with architecture very much like that of the Grand Floridian, but the hotel's layout will be more like that of the Grand Californian at Disneyland-- which has all rooms in one building. Also, this Disneyland Hotel has six floors as opposed to the Grand Floridian's five (I think). There are 600 rooms inside the Disneyland Hotel, which overlooks the Magic Kingdom theme park.

Disney's Hollywood Hotel: This hotel overlooks the Disney Studios theme park, and has a Hollywood theme to it, with a slight Disney focus. The Hollywood Hotel is quite similar to the Hollywood Hotel, which will open next year at Hong Kong's Disneyland, but may have a few differences as well. There are 502 rooms inside Disney's Hollywood Hotel.

Disney's Contemporary Resort: Overlooking the Magic Kingdom, the Contemporary Resort is similar to its Walt Disney World counterpart, but also has a number of differences as well; such as different shops and restaurants. For example, Chef Mickey's is located in Downtown Disney insetad of here, as it replaced by the Contemporary Café. The Contemporary Café has a character breakfast each morning, with a menu similar to Donald's Breakfastosarus in WDW's Animal Kingdom, but stripped of its dinosaur/safari theming. Despite WDW having this, I chose the Contemporary since I always found it to be a facinating building to look at; especially with the monorail going right through the building! There are 393 rooms inside the Contemporary; which is the same number its WDW counterpart has inside the tower. All room will be inside the tower, as no annex wings have been planned yet!

Disney's All-Stars Resort: Disney's All-Stars is similar to All-Star Movies at WDW, but focusing on the characters instead of their movies. This is our Value resort, with rooms spanning 320 square feet (a bit larger that WDW's All Stars & Pop Century rooms at 260 square feet). The All-Stars is broken up onto 8 buildings, with 96 rooms in each building (shaped like a straight rectangle as opposed to All Stars and Pop-Centur's T-shaped inns) on three floors, with 2 buildings per theme. Here is a list of the themes for All-Stars Inns:

1.) 101 Dalmations: even thought this is the film's title, the 1001 Dalmations are still the main characters!
2.) Buzz & Woody's: This is the Toy Story themed area, but the name was changed for reasons described above!
3.) House of Mouse: These inns feature the big 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, & Pluto), along with their frequent costars (Daisy, Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, etc.). The House of Mouse features the Duck Pond Pool-- which includes a centerpiece of Donald and his duck costars shooting water pistols into the pool, much like the Calypso Pool centerpiece at WDW's All-Star Music! There is also a small, shallower kiddie pool next to the main one. The pool(s) sit in the middle of the cluster of motel buildings, with the main building (housing offices, restaurants, etc.) at one end) and room for expansion on the other end of the motel complex.

4.) Pooh Corner: which features Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, et. al.; plus 100-Acre Wood theming.

Disney's All-Stars has a total of 768 rooms, with plenty of room for expansion, plus monorail access. The All-Stars Hall is the main building, which houses the offices, food court, snack bar, and lounge/bar.

Disneyland Campground: Similar to Fort Wilderness at WDW, but built on a smaller scale, Disneyland Campground consists of 207 campsites, plus 108 cabins. This gives us a total of 315 "rooms"-- for lack of a better term! :D

The 4 hotel complexes and the campground give us a Grand Total of 2,578 rooms; roughtly the same number of hotel rooms at Disneyland shared between its 3 hotels (Disneyland Hotel, Paradise Pier, and Grand Californian), but only about 1/12 the 30,000+ rooms/suites/villas/cabins/campsites that Walt Disney World offers between its numerous reosrts! Nevertheless, I think what I came up with for a new Disney theme park resort is sufficient! If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post!
