Possible new themed Disney resort rooms??

[PrincessMom4]

I just got a posting on FB and it hinted at the possibility of Haunted Mansion themed or Princess (aka Royal) themed rooms. Any truth to this rumour???

There is a online survey Disney is sending guest regarding this. There is another thread out there somewhere. I saw it on Friday.

1) I was thinking of one lined with $$ signs.
2) Kind of reminds you of the price increases.

NOTE: With the new increase, a family of four (2-adult, 2-children) hopping for only five days will pay just under $1,200 for tickets, alone.

Here the rumor thread about rooms that isn't on the rumor board nor a resort board.

On the first page I have a comment including a link with some pictures of the concepts.

undoubtedly...

besides...where are these "new rooms" going to be - exactly?
if theming is key to the resort experience...you just can't throw these things everywhere, can you?

No...which leads me to a few of possible directions with this:

1. it's fact finding for the animation suites project. Ruthless and profit driven - granted...but if that's how they want to attack it...that's there perogative on a new development.
2. All stars or Pop...the pop theme is going to be replaced sooner than later...stupid staircases aside...and i wouldn't put it past them to decide to just go ahead and do it now that an animation theme is going on the same grounds. All star movies keeps getting reviews that say it needs some work...a rehab has to be in the offing soon.
3. This is the scary one - that they are kicking around the idea of rebranding parts of EVERY resort to meet the demand of their endless supply of merchandising bucks...."no matter where you stay...you're princess can have her royal bedchamber!"
I shudder heavily on that one...because it would make perfect greedy sense to them in a cubicle somewhere.
4. This is probably the real one: Port Orleans. Since caribbean has gotten the nemo and pirate treatment...port orleans would be the perfect spot for these two proposed overlays. The original haunted mansion would fit right in with the units there - a harken back to the original manison at disneyland. The princess and the frog thing is pretty obvious

But hey...it ain't about magic. If they applied these two themes to just Riverside and then tacked on 30 bucks...it would yield 23 million dollars annually.
