Over at the Disneyland Hotel the floor by floor refurbishment is gutting each room down to the original steel beams. WDI and TDA have recently bought off on the plan to completely revamp and rebuild the central pool and shopping area in between the three towers, with a fourth tower to be newly constructed by the end of the project that will add hundreds of new rooms and DVC suites.

The central courtyard of the Disneyland Hotel is still a hodge podge of styles and buildings dating back to the 1960’s and 70’s, some aging more gracefully than others, with the latest project being the Peter Pan themed pool area added 8 years ago. Even that new pool area will be razed and rebuilt, using a version of Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle as the icon and base for water slides and play elements.

Additional pools will be built in the southwest corner of the property where the sad Dancing Waters facility still sits. The old 1970’s Seaports of the Pacific stores and restaurants will also be swept clear, and replaced with new shops and restaurants themed specifically to Disneyland park.

My aunt told me that when she went in Disneyland, she saw the Disneyland Hotel and she amazed on it. She said that you can really feel the magic and have your Disney vacation dreams come true when you got there.

I agree. It's beautiful and charming & there are characters in the lobby greeting you as you check in. It feels VERY Disney and magical. It's going to be gorgeous once the rehabs are completed.

They were working on the first of the towers (I think the Wonder tower, whichever one has the CL in it) when we were there in Sept. Asbout 2/3 of the tower was closed, and they had stuffed an ice machine into the doorway of a room on each floor.

I think the DLH is the most "Disney" Disney hotel we have ever stayed at. The pictures of the proposed rehad look beautiful, though. I hope they keep the magic there!
