Originally Posted By TDLFAN Unlike airplanes...you do not have to fill up your room with costly fuel to use it. Any hotel room priced at over $300 a night is overpriced. Any trans-pacific Business Class seat sold for under $2,500 R/T is under priced based on the expenses required to operate the flight (based on fuel alone since crew members make no money anymore).

Originally Posted By jmuboy I think a copy, or something similar to this hotel, would work nicely out in DL where they have limited room.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I can see the similarites, but I really don't think they look that much a like. Sure, they're both hotel towers that are beige with a blue roof. Paris is designed to look like it's from the 1800's, while the TDLH definately took more of the inspiration from the Victorian era (with a little bit of Midevil castle for good measure). The Paris hotel also looks a lot more bland and industrial, and lacks almost any detail on the tower itself, other than the roofing at the top. There's really no comparison between the two, other than small surface similarities. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/27yv3f" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/27yv3f</a>
Originally Posted By SuperDry re #12: wow - that sure does look big. It took me a little while to figure out where the picture had been taken from. It appears to be taken from right in front of JR Maihama Station and in front of Ikspiari, near the elevated circular walkway that rings the bus stops. From that standpoint, it's going to dominate the view for most resort visitors as they come off the JR train.

Originally Posted By SuperDry I don't think the old view was all that bad, but nothing particularly Disney really dominated. Now, if you're going to TDL, the TDLH will likely dominate the view until you get to the park entrance area (overtaken by Bon Voyage for a little bit if you walk), and then you turn and see the entrance as it's always been seen. Not a big issue in the larger scheme of things, but it's just not something that I expected until now when thinking about TDLH.
