Attraction Themed Rooms @ WDW

This doesn't really seem like a smart move...I dunno, I could see it if they possible did other attractions in other areas, but to sleep in a boat bed? I dunno...

I'd probably love it. Of course I'm not the typical WDW guest. Im a little more "Out there" when it comes to my Disney obsession.

Well, I do love pirates....and even typing it figured if it does happen it would be a fun trip with a friend of mine---we ALWAYS see Pirates together. But overall...I just don't know. I think it will have to be VERY well themed with quality stuff---good fabrics and textures as not to seem too chintzy and cheap.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

I'm sure most of the furnishings and decorations are the same ones you can get from local furniture stores. The company that is building my house had a kids PoTC room in one of their models:

I am mixed. The Carribean Beach was beautiful. Now, instead of letting it stand on it's own they think they need to gimick it up. (only one m in gimmick?). I mean Nemo belongs in Australia. And now Pirates? Redecorate the pool or create a pirate play area. Leave the resort itself as it was.

Of course I am getting a little sick of ALL the &%^$ Pirate stuff anyhoo. I mean fine, the movies were a hit. But does EVERYTHING need to have an eyepatch now?

I have no problem with this... if done well, and if not all inclusive. Keep some of the rooms as they are, make some "Theme rooms". Families with Little kids will love it.

And think of some of the wonderful things this could mean for the poly... or the Animal Kingdom

Guess I'd wonder "Where" they would do the theming.

I'd see Port Orleans for Haunted Mansion
Caribean is obvious a fit for Pirates
Pop for Toy Story
All Star for Lady and the Tramp, Hannah, HSM

But where would you do Jungle Cruise? Poly of AK?

I think they chose Pirates because of the the revenue they are trying to hold onto with the franchise...adding movie ties to the attraction...dangling teasers of a 4th movie...now this.

I see it more as a cash thing...not something they are doing because of die hards and what they love about the parks--not that I don't think they'd market that too---I've seen it done before, and seen execs little faces perk up when they see just how much some of the regular guests love and state they will pay for unique experiences.

Which begs the question...how much more will it cost to stay in a themed room??

I don't think the execs will jump to add any other attraction theming to rooms until they see the money ROLL in. After the cuts we've seen recently, I don't see this as plussing at all. This will be a feature available to those with cash...unlike the meal at Liberty Tree or Pleasure Island which could be included in a park pass for a nominal fee.

I think the rooms might be fun...but in my mind it seems like more and more of Disney is becoming exclusive to those with more dollars than I can dream of.

Hmm, Just one or two rooms? Then I think fine. But not the whole place! Oh, All for the wenches!

I can see because it Carribean themed but at least why not build a complete resort around it. Not just a few rooms. You could have the entrance as Port Royal. The check in and lobey as the fort itself and the outside around it the town. The pool could be themed to Tortuga or Ira de Murta. It be real cool.

I agree that it would have to be 'done right'.

The last two times I went down to WDW I stayed at the swan and then dolphin - they were nice but I really missed disney resort themes - it is all part of the magic Very Happy

This might be a good idea to do with some of the value or Moderate Resorts, but you still want to keep a few resorts open for people looking for a romantic getaway.
