I know this is wild speculation but the only explanation that makes sense to me is Disney is picking up the tab as some future deal down the road.I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there is a sale pending.
I thought Disney already owns the land the hotel sits on. My understanding was the only thing they didn’t own on that corner is the plot of land the 7-11 is on.I wouldn’t be at all surprised if there is a sale pending.
People have posted in other threads that the CCI is the one hotel in the DLR area that is still privately owned -- which, I think, includes the land. I'm sure Disney is just waiting to get their hands on that property. There is an image of the hotel ownership paperwork somewhere on this board.I thought Disney already owns the land the hotel sits on.

Candy Cane Inn has always had premiums rooms, which are slightly larger. The premium rooms have always had breakfast service. You leave your "menu" out the night before and they'd deliver to your room at the time you asked. The premium rooms were always my favorite. It is currently refurbishing the entire inn. It is currently "closed", but only temporarily.I looked at the Yelp page for Candy Cane Inn a minute ago and there's no mention on Yelp that says Candy Cane Inn is closed because when a place that's listed on Yelp is not shown it will feature the word "CLOSED" on it which Candy Cane Inn's page doesn't have. I did learn that Candy Cane Inn is gonna have premium rooms with breakfast service and the premium rooms will be bigger. But what I think the owners of Candy Cane Inn will do is expand the hotel into making some of the rooms into suites and I think with these new premium rooms Candy Cane Inn will attract more visitors and Disneyland audience too
When Disney purchased the Carousel Inn, they tore it down. The family that owns the property has said they would not sell. They would not be doing these upgrades just to sell. And no way Disney is picking up this tab.I know this is wild speculation but the only explanation that makes sense to me is Disney is picking up the tab as some future deal down the road.
If Disney is involved it explains why every step is so painfully slow.
But I am just making that up to be clear.
I was curious, did they say if everything will be open? Worried we will have a room, but no pool or breakfast if it is only partially complete. Fingers crossed!I called a few weeks ago to make reservations for June 20-25. They said they plan on opening around the first of June if everything stays on track. Fingers crossed!
