I'm sure that the 'quality' of theming will be comparable to what would have been done for the Legendary Years, but it's a shame to lose the vision of the whole thing. Are all of the rooms at the Animation hotel going to be suites? I know that a fairly significant number will be, but I'm not sure if there will be regular rooms too...

Originally Posted By Christi22222 Value suites, correct? I am not a big fan of building more Disney hotels. However, I know a number of folks that complain about Disney not having enough value rooms for 5 person families. This should fill that gap nicely, so I see the justification for it more clearly. All of our friends with 3 kids hate booking Disney hotels and cruise ships!
