Y'all know that hotel could be in my wheelhouse! I wonder about roomservice...

Need a midnight helping of blue milk?

It looks like Disney is talking to the businesses that will be affected by this project.

Starbucks has two DTD locations correct? I can't see them being hurt too much.

They do. This is the smaller one. I wonder if they will just reopen at the coffee shop inside the hotel with the construction.

They do. I think the one in question hasn’t been open that long though.

It opened about 6 months or so after the main one.

I have a lot of thoughts swirling about the DLR news... my first major question is about the monorail stops... does this mean there will no longer be a stop in DTD but instead just Tomorrowland and the new Hotel?? If so, I’ll be very sad. Our stress-free walk from Mickey and Friends to the DTD monorail stop was a welcome alternative to the crowds through tram security, on the tram, and at the entrance.

The DTD will now be the new hotel stop. So no new stops but a new station where the current DTD station is.

Hmm. Okay I see that now. However, I can easily see them limiting use of it to hotel guests. It also seems like walking from Mickey and Friends to DTD won’t be as easy. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Things I DO like include:
- more parking (don’t even know where to begin to explain how badly this is needed)

- the part where it talks about connecting all four hotels through gardens, pathways, etc. Right now, the hotels all feel so disconnected and disjointed. Helping to have easier access to all the amenities would increase the “Disney bubble” feel that people say DLR lacks.

Things that worry me:
- seems like the Disneyland Hotel will now be decidedly pushed to the background. Their views will be of the new hotel, parking, or Walnut. Odd. I’m not happy with that at all.

- DTD parking is now far away from DTD. This is a bad move. Locals who want to just go down for the night will be less inclined to do so if they can’t park right there.

Thanks for everything you do @rteetz!

Seems to be some rumor that the new hotel will have a DVC wing. The existence of this rumor however is pretty meaningless, because I would expect this rumor to occur. It's also pretty likely,since by 2021 Aulani should finally be sold out and they'll be looking for west coast DVC. (I would likely buy 25 points to use every 3 years or so)

Yes- but oddly, the one that will be leveled is fairly new!

2018 Epcot International Festival of the Arts Celebrates 39 Days Of Creativity January 12 to February 19

So I just looked up the dinning packages for the shows at night-- random selection-- the Rose and Crown for dinner-- 57 per person... If I order the most expensive app, the most expensive dinner, and the most expensive desert, it comes to 49. So you get an 8 dollar non alc drink and a free reserved seating after eating more than required and not necessarily your selection of food. Other meals are up to 10.00 less. What a deal.

They probably could put some of the restaurants back into the hotel. So easily could see Starbucks and Earl going into the hotel, maybe even Rainforest.

The Star Wars thing won't be gauged until they release some plans...

If it's 100 rooms, I'd say $850 a night...if it's 600?...back down to the reasonable $500-600 range...just like the days inn.

$850 per night for the room or per person? For the room seems too low. Cheaper than our NYC and DC hotels by a fair bit. Heck - cheaper than our WDW hotel stays.

I *want* it to be small and spendy actually...goes to duck...because otherwise, I figure the waiting list will be a zillion years. Most folks seem to think it'll be a cruise like xp.

Unless they are hiring construction workers to tear it down....

everything I have seen is that it will be a per person charge (or perhaps like a Disney cruise where per person but the 3rd and 4th persons in a room are cheaper than the first 2) but because it will include meals and everything there will be a per person so I think the $850 is the per person, not per room
