With the new Disneyland hotel on hold, what now?

[tarheelalum]

Its officially cancelled now but if Disney can get the city council voting its way again it will likely be back on.

Wow dang... that is crazy. Yeah, I hope they can get some new businesses in there. We loved the movie theater. It was great for non-disney days when we wanted something to do. Hope a new one goes in there.

AMC will be opening at 6 screen theatre at garden walk early next year.

Thanks, dang it we are going again end of this year

I kinda hope while they are figuring things out, they bring back the ice rink for Christmas time. I loved that.

This is from a MousePlanet article today (https://www.mouseplanet.com/12211/Disneyland_Formally_Cancels_Plans_to_Build_Fourth_Hotel): "The AMC Theater could reopen, though there are signs some demolition work had already begun inside the building. With the theater chain canceling its own plans to open a smaller theater in the Garden Walk shopping center across from Disneyland, the company might be lured back to Downtown Disney,..."
This was news to me -- but I would welcome the AMC's return to DTD. We really miss our date night movies there.

I haven’t seen a formal announcement from AMC regarding garden walk, but I imagine if the theater were to reopen there then they would likely rehab it to the recliner chairs with premium offerings.

Hope so. With an AP discount (fingers crossed), that would make date nights even nicer!

I was just about to post a link to an article on the cancellation of the new hotel, but someone beat me to it. I'm not sure how I feel about it. A new hotel would have been exciting. Oh well.

I can’t say I am sad to see the project cancelled. A hotel crammed in the west end of DTD, practically on top of the DLH, didn’t make sense to me.

 

[StormyCA]

A new hotel would have been nice, but NOT where they were going to cram it in.

It'd be nice if they could get RFC to come back. The food wasn't spectacular but it was a fun experience.

Yup dead.
They worked quick on the Earl of Sandwich if it has actually reopened like the article says. I was there 2 weeks ago (September 26) and it wasn't open yet and looked like it needed a lot of work.

It opened on October 1.

I think the garden walk AMC project is still on.

 

[ParkHopper1]

Be willing to bet the 4th hotel will still eventually happen in some capacity relatively soon. That is a massive potential income stream for Disney and the demand is most certainly there. It was on the drawing board long before the 4 star tax deal came into play...my bet is that they are just gonna play victim card for a while on all the projects that got pulled and stick it to Anaheim while they go back to the drawing board and strategize how they are gonna play their next hand.

Didn't they buy one of the Harbor side hotels also? They were going to level it and make a parking lot with pedestrian bridge? How about update that hotel, and make it an official Disney hotel?

They tore down the motel they bought. They also own most of the land behind that strip of motels on harbor.
