Disneyland Hotel Window

Festival Disney · April 19, 2010, 01:16:15 AM

Hi guys,
I have done a search, and couldn't find any answer to this so I thought I'd ask here.

These windows on the front of the Disneyland Hotel are different to the others. Anyone know why?

:lol: Oh yeah! Never noticed! But if you look closer there are more windows to the right and up that are different from the others. I have a photo that show some to the left. And my photo is from August 2006. So they've been there a while... Hmmm!

I have also recognized these different windows during our last trip.

Maybe the windows have broken and the old windows aren't produced anymore and so they had to use others.

That seems silly. Every Joe Schmoe can get such windows made to fit, so surely Euro Disney, a company that has fake mountains made, can get an old-timey window that resembles the old one. It must be just a sloppy renovation.

Just thought I'd update this.
Now, only one of the original windows remains. The others are of the new style. :?

Thats a shame, I prefer the old style, but if they're breaking the cost would be higher for them.

Could be related to changes in legislation on emergency escape out of windows - in the UK, you have to be able to get out of them in the event of an emergency.

If that's the reason, why didn't Disney change all four windows?

If you are not stopping here can you still go inside to have a look around? We are going for Christmas & would love to take some pics of the christmas decorations.

Could it be possible they're switching from wooden window casements to plastic ones? That seems to be popular. But even so, those plastic things do come in the old style:

There's just no need for this.

Whilst watching "The Grand Opening of Euro Disney", I spottted something!

Look at the window's! They were of the "New Style"
Which means that the old "criss-cross" style was actually installed afterwards, and now are being put back to how they were originally... :?
