Changes Planned For Disneyland Hotel

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels


The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California has announced more upgrades to its ongoing renovations of the Disneyland Hotel. The changes will include building a new pool and water play area, renovating an existing pool, opening a new restaurant and bar, and re-theming of the hotel's three guest room towers.

The changes will restore the original midcentury style of the classic hotel. The hotel's original two-story bungalows were built in 1955, just months after Walt Disney's first theme park opened its gates and the first tower was erected in 1962. The biggest changes will be around the pool area which will have a new water play area. "Disneyland" will be spelled out in blocks atop a platform supporting two water slides. At each slide's entrance will sit a replica Monorail Car that guests will glide through on their way to the water below. The larger of the two main slides sits 26 feet high and stretches 187 feet until it plunges into a splash pool. The second slide is 13 feet high and 112 feet long. For younger children the area will include a third two-lane mini slide that sits just 3 1/2 feet high and is 19 feet long.

Stadium Lofts Auctioned In Anaheim

Filed under: Real Estate Developments


Another week, another condo auction. This weekend, buyers lined up in Anaheim, California for a chance to bid on 58 deeply discounted Stadium Lofts condos. Potentials buyers could save between 24 percent and 29 percent on the condos which are located near the Angels Stadium. The OC Register reports that by Saturday afternoon, developer Windstar Communities LLC had received $5,000 deposits from each person for 48 condos.

The condo project has 390 units total but the developers had some trouble selling them so they decided to put the 58 units that had attracted the least attention from buyers up for auction. A 1,082-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath condo went for about $350,000 which is approximately 25 percent off or a savings of $114,300 off the original listing price.

A Southern California restaurant has found a unique way to drum up Valentine's Day business. The Anaheim White House is giving away a $10,000 diamond and sapphire necklace to one special guest of the restaurant. The restaurant is offering a special prix fixe menu the week of February 8-14 and will give away a pink sapphire and diamond heart necklace worth $1,000 each night, presenting the $10,000 necklace to one patron chosen at random from the computerized reservation service on Valentine's Day. Sure, it's a publicity stunt, but it's a sharp one. After all, who is going to turn down free diamonds?
