April's "Better Late Than Never!" Quiz - Question 9 *PROBABLE ANSWER ADDED*

[steve_rob]

While searching through books and on the Internet for possible questions, I came across plenty of things I never knew about the Disneyland Paris Resort. Tonight's question is one of those, so let's see how you fare with it...

Which of the official Disney hotels at DLP opened last? And no, it's not a trick question - they didn't all open on the same day (like I originally thought).

PM me with your answers.

I have no idea where you guys are getting this answer from! I have just spent 2.5 hours searching the net and finally give in (at 12.30am!) with a very feeble guess. I bow down to you Disney trivia buffs

It was all a bluff on my part Quack. Mine is also a guess, even my "From Sketch to Reality" book didn't help me out this time and as for my friend Google, he has been sent to coventry.

It's there on Google, it did take me roughly 4 and a half hours and numerous searches to find it , and yes I should've been doing my ironing instead - but that's dedication for you, just hope I've got the right answer.

Well I'm up off my sick bed now and I feel I have to apologise for making this one so difficult!

I'll admit that I originally thought that all the hotels opened at the same time, but then I found a website a few days ago that said differently. I searched around and did find one other website that confirmed this date, although neither offered an explanation as to why this hotel opened later than the rest.

Had it only been on one site, I wouldn't have posed the question as it could have been an error on this person's part, but with two I thought I was on safer ground and assumed the info must be 'out there' elsewhere. Maybe it's just these two sites then...

Anyway, to put you out of your misery, the answer I have is that the Sequoia Lodge opened on 27th May 1992, compared to all the other hotels opening on 12th April.

So you can check it out yourself, I've added links below to the two websites I got the info off of.
http://www.angelfire.com/journal/disneylicenseplates/opngdate.html
http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/May27.html.

If anyone can find out if they are right or not (as even I'm starting to doubt now!) then please do let all of us know.

Interestingly out of all the guesses, the Newport Bay Club was by far and away the most popular. I think this may have been because this hotel was shut down for a few months over the winter period in DLP's first year due to lack of guests and so maybe that still rings a bell with some people.

Are you feeling better now Steve, or did you just get up from your sickbed to put us out of our misery?!!

The answer seems fair enough to me - though it didn't make any difference to my score!! I'm just very pleased with the link you put in to This Day in Disney History. I've never seen that site before - it's great!!
