Disneyland Hotel to Demolish Waterfalls

Disneyland Hotel to Demolish Waterfalls

Anyone who has walked through Disneyland Hotel’s courtyard has seen their lush lawns, romantic gazebos, and, of course, the beautiful flowing waterfalls. These man-made waterfalls have been here for 31 years, but on August 16, they will be closed off to the public, awaiting their demolition day. OC Register’s Sarah Tully gives all the details here in the Around Disney blog.

Fans have asked Disney to keep the waterfalls, but Disney has decided to continue with their original renovation plans. Back in May, they announced their plans to redo the pool and outdoor area, and a new Polynesian-themed restaurant. Currently, the hotel towers are receiving a makeover.

The waterfalls won’t be all that’s removed. The koi pond, the Jungle Cruise remote control boats, the Lost Bar, and the Neverland Pool, a shop, restaurants, an arcade, and a fountain that once had its own Dancing Waters show are all slated for demolition. The koi from the koi pond have already been relocated to the Huntington Library in San Marino.

The Euro Gift and Collectibles shop closed on July 5, Hook’s Point and Wine Cellar closed last Sunday. The arcade closed yesterday, and the Jungle Cruise remote control boats close today. The Lost Bar and Croc’s Bits ‘n’ Bites are scheduled to  close Sunday.

There are a few Facebook fan pages dedicated to saving the waterfalls, including this one, Save the Disneyland Hotel Waterfalls.

What do you think about seeing the waterfalls go? Is it their time, or do they deserve a few more years?

How Disney Saved Broadway.

How Disney Saved Broadway.

Ever wonder how Disney musicals play with the New York City theater (excuse me, theatre) crowd?  David Ozanich of The Awl has a clever piece on how Disney’s policy of finding the best and the brightest creative minds is saving Broadway.  Says Ozanich,

. . . I mostly respect Disney for hiring playwrights like Doug Wright (who won the Pulitzer for I Am My Own Wife), David Henry Hwang (who penned M. Butterflywhich alone is important for introducing the world to BD Wong), and even screenwriter Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) to write the books for The Little Mermaid, Tarzan, and Mary Poppins respectively. As one who has written a play, and one that was even mildly successful, I made about 24 cents on both the New York and London productions combined. The fees that the above three make for every performance of these Disney shows no doubt fund their other, perhaps more high-brow, attempts at theater-making. These are not the actions of an outfit that cares only about bringing in bucks on the backs of tourists with kids.

You can read the rest of the article here.   Warning, some of the language is off-color and may offend some people, but the article is also a well-written, funny look at how non-Disney fans see Disney.  There’s also a hint of things to come.  The Hunchback of Notre Dame on stage?  Yes.  Yes, please.
