A new look for the Disneyland Hotel
Last August, the Disneyland Resort embarked on a multi-million dollar renovation of the Disneyland Hotel guest rooms, a project that is expected to be completed in stages through 2012. About 160 of the refurbished rooms have reopened in the Magic Tower, and I recently had the opportunity to tour one of the finished rooms.
Most rooms can sleep up to five people, and guests who have previously sailed on the Disney Cruise Line may recognize the sofa bed, which quickly converts from couch to twin bed. Depending on the room layout, rooms may instead have a convertible chair bed, or a wall-mounted fold-down bed. The most noticeable difference in the room is in the exterior window. The sliding glass doors and faux-balcony are gone, replaced with a floor-to-ceiling double-paned window tinted with a heat-deflecting blue coating. The new windows are said to make the rooms more energy efficient, and also block more outside noise.
