The hotel will remain open during the renovation, which will be conducted in phases, and is scheduled to be completed in 2012. </font></p>

Originally Posted By spacejockey Sounds like a nice improvement overall. However, I don't like having all of the views tinted with blue. The retro theme will work well with the monorail and Tomorrowland. Hopefully, they can go with a more Victorian theme for Paradise Pier Hotel. I wish they would do an Art Deco boutique hotel in the tram stop with access to Holllywoodland.

I'm very curious to see what those ugly buildings will look like with a blue tint.

The description of the new rooms makes my teeth hurt.
