Disney's Newport Bay Club refurbishment

I was wondering around Disney's Newport Bay Club past weekend and found this corridor quite different than the others...

It has quite a Disney Cruise Line feel to it!

Looks like this corridor is where they're colour testing and perhaps have model rooms ready (one of the doors had an "under construction" sign.)

That looks cool, I stayed there not long ago and thought the corridors were to similar. So its nice to see a different one.

Wow! It's got a much warmer feel to it! Is the carpet different as well?

Kristof · July 31, 2012, 06:29:21 PM

Yes it's all new!

I love it! Bright colours are just what the NBC corridors need! Beautiful

Looks great, I am really curious about the room design now

Woah! Nice and bright colours. It makes me think about staying at NBC again

Wow, that looks really promising! I wonder if they are going to bring more characters to the hotel, like they've done with the Santa Fe? Donald Duck would be an obvious match.

Oh, and by the way: Last week, we heard some loud construction noises on several days at the Hotel New York. Might be just routine maintenance, but reading this got me thinking if they're maybe trying out something new there as well.

The Hotel New York refurb is scheduled for in a few years. They were probably just replacing a tired room or something like that.

I couldn't find any good photographs the regular corridors, but as you can see from this video the suggested new look are definitely a HUGE improvement. So much more warm and "Disney" looking!

I absolutely like the new design! Will there be changes on the rooms decor too?

Hi 15magicalyears, I liked the video.
I have often wished I was wearing roller skates to get me to my room, as the corridors are soooooo long, then to turn a corner and that corridor is even longer. :minnie:

The new decor looks good, has some warmth; hope they do the same to the rooms.

Wow, it's amazing! :shock: :shock: :shock: Looks like a completely new hotel from the inside.
It's like old Titanic vs DCL. Appologies to the Titanic.

:mrgreen: That´s wonderful! Seems that I and Reiana have the same taste :mrgreen:
Didn´t think a second that the could get so much out of the corridors.
