The LA Times is reporting that Disney is planning to operate 2 hotels on the proposed GardenWalk mall just outside of California Adventure, and leading to a land that could possibly be Disneyland Resort 3rd Gate (depending if that housing project goes through or not).
Al Lutz of the fan website MiceAge.com reported Tuesday that two of the four new hotels Disney plans in the Anaheim Resort District would be in GardenWalk. He wrote that one would be a moderately priced "family hotel" with rooms having themes including Disney or Pixar characters. The other would be smaller and more luxurious, similar to a "big city W Hotel," Lutz wrote. The hotels would have a total of 866 rooms.
Disney would provide the licensed use of its name and characters and hire employees to operate and manage the facilities, according to the website. Lutz said the arrangement would be unique because Disney would not own the property.
It still amazes me that now, mainstream newspapers are relying on blogs and fan sites to get some of their info. :)
Anyway, if this is true, then it would certainly add more resort capacity for Disney, even if they don't own the hotels outright.
