I agree-we travel with 5 or 6 so definitely need to see the larger rooms. Also disappointed at the studio heavy structure and lack of balconies. Love the style, though-although we own at VGC I really prefer the look of DLH-retro and colors!So curious to see what the living space for the 1 and 2 bedrooms look like, the bedroom for the 1 bedroom and of course the grand Villa and the pods. Of course all of those are a small percentage - such a deluxe studio heavy allocation.
I really wish these had balconies. Agreed a bit generic looking but I like it overall.
Not a fan of the flags on the wood but love the paintings and color scheme.
The lack of balconies were a deal breaker for me. Had a bit of an existential crisis over waiting for DLT or buying more VGC. In the end, the lack of studio balconies were the deciding factor alongside suburban views.
Not sure I'm a fan of the wood in general. Or the decor. I don't see how there is any synergy between a mid century modern tower and the classic Eyvind Earle Sleeping Beauty concept art (that would suit the Paris or Tokyo Disneyland Hotels). I erronously imagined the rooms in the tower may be themed to Disneyland itself. Maybe I will feel differently seeing a display room.
Well, the original towers all started out the MCM style, but have drifted away with subsequent remodels and redecoration. The re-imagining of the west end of DTD taking the place of the AMC theatre and Earl of Sandwich is designed in the MCM style as well, so there's hope that the same design vocabulary will be worked back into the existing elements of the hotel.Not sure I'm a fan of the wood in general.

Dark woods and paint palettes (burnt oranges, siennas, etc) juxtaposed with bright chromes and brushed metals were very much part of the MCM design vocabulary.I LOVE the headboards at the DLH. I'm sure they think they need to change since they've been there for awhile now but I would have been completely happy if they had used those and themed around them.
Wood was pretty prevalent in mid-century modern I thought so it's not jumping out at me as not fitting.

If not for the castle picture above the bed and the watermark, I wouldn't be able to tell a very big difference. The first photo is the Hyatt House at the corner of Harbor Blvd. I don't think I need to buy into the DLH Tower.
