Updates planned for Disneyland Hotel

Some big changes are in store for the Disneyland Hotel in 2012. Three major projects are in the works - a redesigned pool area, a new restaurant and bar, and retheming for the three guest room towers.

The pool will take on a bit of a retro look, with a water slide tower built to look like the Disneyland sign of the past. The sign will support the slides, which will feature replica monorail cars for guests to travel through on their way to the splash pool at the bottom. The largest slide will be 26 feet high and will be 187 feet long. A smaller, 3 1/2 feet high slide will allow even the littlest guests to get in on the action.

The Never Land Pool will have a new four-foot deep pool connecting it with the water play area. A footbridge will go over the top, for easier access to each side. Six cabanas will be added to the pool area as well.

The new "smart casual" dining location will be in the place of Hook's Pointe, Croc's Bites and Bits, the Wine Cellar and the Lost Bar. It will be a Tahitian theme, meant to look like the original Tahitian Terrace restaurant in Disneyland. The new bar will have an adventure theme, similar to the Jungle Cruise.

Last, but not least, the three guest room towers will be rethemed after Disneyland Park's lands. The towers will be completed in phases, one each year, beginning this year. The Dreams Tower will be renamed the Adventure Tower. The Wonder Tower will be renamed the Frontier Tower. The Magic Tower will be renamed the Fantasy Tower. Each tower will be decorated with vintage artwork from the three lands, Adventureland, Frontierland, and Fantasyland.
