You mean Neighborhood 1, 2, 3, and 4 aren't good names?

Like I knew before I clicked that there was sarcasm involved, but even I did not expect that level of complete non-effort on their part! I mean, wow!

They could have even done like the Incredibles neighborhood, Toy Story neighborhood, etc. but nope.

Then they'd have to preserve the theme......they can at least retain the area name for eternity even if they change the contents....which we know they will do.

Changing different Pixar themes I assume you mean? If they go away from Pixar they would have to rename the entire area anyways so what would the neighborhood names matter. To me this whole Pixar Pier thing is just kind of a mess.

The poke bowl offering may actually get me over to the paradise pier hotel.

That must be their new thing as a Poke Bowl was part of the recent menu change at Sunshine Seasons as well

Other than creating Cars Land it feels like the history of DCA is "how not to build and run a themepark"

Yeah that park is just strange at this point. I’m not against a Pixar land by any means but they could have done so much better.

I couldn’t agree more with this statement! However, I love DCA, and I hate what they are doing to it.

I know I have never been but I felt Paradise Pier was better than the mish mash that will be Pixar Pier. Sure improvements can always be made but it wasn't that bad.

Anyways, I'll stop now

though, in their defense, the bar at that park is set pretty low *cough* superstar limo *cough*

I liked elements of it, but felt like such a hodge podge of a park and also felt the least "family friendly" in that it had so many rides with height restrictions, and then had the kiddie land with A Bugs Land - felt like basically the entire time we were there we were split up so one of us could do the bigger rides with the other was with the kids in A Bugs Land

It's a mess like you say....I'm guessing design folks are staying as neutral as possible, as even they know this won't last long....and will change.

It’s suppose to have 300 rooms.

Technically - BLT has 295 units, but when you split the lock-offs up it becomes 428. I was considering the same thing with my numbers - spliting the lockoffs. So the 300 room number indicates similar in # of the units to BLT. Shorter building (8 floors versus 16 floors) indicates about twice as many units per floor.

Disney's California Management Screw-ups?

The incredicoaster isn’t exactly neutral. That’s really the biggest change. The other stuff seems relatively easy to change again though. I feel they could’ve done better.
