Originally Posted By wonderingalice Not sure about that "washroom" photo... Looks more like a small office area.

Promises to offer unforgettable experiences for the lucky winners.
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes I don't believe any of the artwork was created for the Disney Dream Suite. I believe all of it is artwork created back in 1965 +/- for Walt's new apartment, and they are 'borrowing' it for the press releases. I'm pretty sure I've had copies of each watercolor for some time. I can't remember the artists name at the moment.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Dorothea Redmond was the artist behind those renderings. And, yes, they are repurposed for the Dream Suite. The only one that is new is the "Dream Living Room 2008" picture. It's interesting to compare the original to it, to see what they will change. I see bookcases are out, and big wall murals are in. Tables & chairs are out, and a carousel horse is in. I think I liked the original look better. It was more understated, and elegant. Although, the Dream Suite art isn't bad either...they just changed some things.

Originally Posted By DlandDug Gurgi, I agree with your observation. I wonder, though, if all the renderings are essentially reworkings of Dorthea's. The one labeled "Frontierland Master Bedroom" looks like an alternate concept for the dining room. (I have seen the original.) The view out the window seems to be showing the waterwheel on the old Swiss Family treehouse, though. "Adventureland Master Bedroom" looks too small to be the room in question. It also appears to have a functional sink. "An Elegant Washroom" is a familiar view of the smoking room. At present there is no plumbing in this existing room. "Dream Living Room 2008" is well delineated by Gurgi above. I would bet that those two "murals" do some pretty nifty tricks, though. "Under the Stars" also looks like a familiar rendering. Note the smoking room, visible through the door at the right. I am certainly looking forward to getting a peak at this suite. I do miss the Disney Gallery, though.

I know I wouldn't mind watching what goes on in Disneyland after hours! (Although it might take away some of the magic, it'd still be cool to see.)

"Advantages to having this suite are: * Late night Snacks and Beverages * Dinner in the Suite * A dazzling view overlooking the Rivers of America * A Private balcony view of Fantasmic! Other details are surprises in every room, as well as a Bayou themed Patio (to go with Pirates of the Caribbean) with Fireflies."
