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?
Yes it's all new!
I love it! Bright colours are just what the NBC corridors need! Beautiful :D
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. :D
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.
Quote from: "Reiana"Wow, it's amazing! :shock: :shock: :shock: Looks like a completely new hotel from the inside.

Considering the fact that Newport Bay Club is supposed to be a seaside resort in Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard at the turn of the century, it would be appropriate to give the corridors a more sophisticated Victorian look instead of a Disney Cruise Line look if you ask me. The new decor is not my cup of tea to be honest. Did anyone check out Europapark's new Hotel Bell Rock? It captures the New England atmopshere very nicely (much better than Newport Bay Club). ;)
Newport Bay Club is a 'moderate resort' (although the similar Yacht and Beach Club at Walt Disney World are labeled as 'deluxe resorts'), so the decoration shouldn't be too classy, but some inspiration could have been taken from the real Titanic like the lighting fixtures, colour pallete etc.

It's Europa Park though isn't it, and how does a hotel with a New England (USA) atmosphere fit into the Europe theme? They don't have to copy Disney's hotels do they?
Anyhow I'm loving the new deep rich colours in the Newport Bay Club.
Here's a first look at the newly decorated rooms, thanks to mick73 at Disney Central Plaza.

i really like it, the rich colours, the Disney characters on the wall. I like it better than the old style room with the white furniture, this is much warmer. Obviously we won't find any Disney characters at the Bell Rock in Europa Park even if it does have a New England atmosphere and a lighthouse. Although we will have the opportunity to meet a grey mouse called Euromaus. They're just full of original ideas.
That is a massive step-up from the previous decor. I really like the choice of colours and the hidden mickey on the headboard. :ears:
Did they take the existing headboard and bolt on Mickey ears? That's... looking pretty good, actually.
I also like that a lot of browns and oranges have been added to the color scheme. The previous scheme was so heavy on white and blue that it felt really cold to me.
White Titanic-style wood paneling with Victorian sconces would have been appropriate had it been a deluxe hotel, but moderate Disney hotels should be slightly more fun than intimidatingly fancy. I think they've accomplished that very well.
A huge upgrade from the pile of dated cheap that was there before (and unfortunately still comprises 99% of the premises.)
And I agree with the above poster about the brown. Gives it a slight cruise line travel feel without plunging completely into the 1930s.
HI, does anyone know if the refurbished rooms are being occupied by guests yet? I so wanna stay in one!!
I like the Hidden Mickeys on the carpet. It's a shame they've made the ones on the beds not-so-hidden. I don't like it when they splatter Mickey heads like that, everywhere. Plus, I don't get why they've used portholes when we're not on a ship.
But they're my only complaints, and the rooms are still ten times better than the old ones. XD I love the new little bedside lamps and the new mirror table in the corner. It's much more warmer and welcoming.
I love that vanity in the corner, it's always so awkward when two people are trying to get ready in the room with the only real space available is the bathroom sink / mirror. This has definitely made the Newport Bay more appealing to me.

I take your point about the portholes and it not being a ship, and if they had replaced the existing windows with portholes I would agree with you, but it is a hotel with a yacht-club theme so they don't look out of place in the wallpaper design. it is a Disney hotel at a Disney resort after all and I think the portholes and characters are a fun touch.
Hm I don´t like it that much. Liked more the bite elaborated style of newport bay and so for the rooms. Love the corridors. But this portholes are a bit too much. I loved the not so heavy bambi touches at SL. This room is a bit tooo much characters for me. I want to be in new england. Not in a comic stripe.
So what I like:
The new carpet
The new pillows
The new blankets
The style of the chairs
The idea of suitcase boards (but this variation is to much toon for me)
The bathroom
I think the rooms lost everything of the old imagineering idea. It´s a bit like the cars theme at SF. :?

It's a matter of taste I know but if you really want to be in New England go to New England, a Disney Resort isn't the best place to find the real thing. It's Disney's Newport Bay Club and I put the empasis on the word Disney. I don't understand this logic some people have, if you want the real thing why go to a theme park resort? Surely people who book a holiday to DLP are buying a Disney holiday, not a really a holiday in New England. They want the full on Disney experience. Walt Disney after whom the resort is named was a cartoonist.

Yeah I agree, you go to Disneyland to be surrounded by Disney, not real world themeing. More Disney themeing is needed in the hotels if you ask me... :thumbs:
I go to Disney to escape the real world, it's ment to be a magical place. I can understand the Newport Bay Club has got a yaght-club theme, the sort of place we might find in Cape Cod, but this hotel is at a Disney resort so there has to be some compromise between fantasy and reality. I put the emphasis on the name Disney and then it all makes sense.
Wow! A real improvement indeed!!
Might just go and update my booking for February!!
Love it, such an improvement on the tired and dated rooms. I will certainly consider staying there again.
I'm really liking what they're doing to the hotels. The characters in the the banners are cute, and subtle, perfectly done Disney.
I've really liked the look of the NBC, but this looks grand, keep up the good work!

Completely agree with you Riebi. I've never really been a big fan of most cartoon/Disney character elements in the hotels, I can understand why they do it but for me it cheapens the high quality of theming just a bit. I can also see why some may say that it's a Disney Park so you should expect Disney but when you look a little further, some of DLP's (and all Disney Parks in general) finest elements don't contain any Disney movie references at all. The likes of Phantom Manor, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Le Visionarium all are (or were) original imagineering and didn't have to rely on the popular Disney faces to attract guests. I always liked to see the Disney hotels taking a similar approach, Disney characters is great as meet n greets in the hotels, but part of the furnishing? Not for me sadly.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, a table with mirror and small drawers. LIKE!

That´s exactly my point of view. Disney never was about characters. It was about story. Why have there everywhere to be characters? The idea behind the hotels was to travel to diffrent regions of america. Not to the real ones but to a perfect wonderful themed idea of this regions.
The better story isn´t a character wallpaper. The best story is to make an enviroment that themed, that you even would be disapointed by the original part of the world.
In the same way we don´t see the disney villains at phantom manor and the funny crew from "Home on the Range" at big thunder mountain. And if we rethink it...well that´s quiet the thing we love about disney imagineering. They make something new. Not something character based.
I´m not completly again this characters in hotels. With a much calmer appearance in the rooms it would be OK with me. As I said the Bambi theme for SL is very calm and it gives the hotel some nice touches without giving it another theme.
The NPBC rooms are for me too much of a fab 5 on a sea cruiser cartoon. And a bad one. :?
At NPBC we simply aren´t at a cartoonish "The Art of Disney Animation" resort. We are at a new england seaside resort (by the way with a big conference center for dlp business guests)
The point is: More fantasy doesn´t mean more disney characters for me. It means more disney. And that means more magic and a deep imagineering "characterless" look on it. Escaping from the real world is for me not escaping in a cartoon...and by the way: In this times the better theme would be Duffy the Disney Bear for Newport Bay. Cause it´s their nautic around the world sea bear. Wouldn´t that be great? :mrgreen:
It´s a bit like Disney Aulani would be just about lilo and stitch. But it isn´t... ;)
Nicely said Riebi :thumbs:
Well said Riebi! I couldn't agree with you more.
The new rooms look nice, except for the character port holes and the shower curtain. It amazes me that Disney still uses shower curtains. You hardly find them anymore in hotels these days. I don't like them and honestly nowadays I expect glass instead of curtains in hotels of that category. I had to stay in 13 different hotels over the last two years and none of them had shower curtains.
Quote from: "Riebi"Disney never was about characters. It was about story. Why have there everywhere to be characters?
I think it's pretty clear why the characters are everywhere. It's the one thing Disney can do to make their properties more attractive to consumers without spending all that much extra money or effort. If you ask people with kids if they would rather stay at the
Cars Hotel or the
Abstract Representations of Icons of New Mexico Hotel, the former is a much easier sell.
Many people here have said that the overuse of characters is a loss for imagination, and I agree. I'd also like to argue that it diminishes the characters themselves. Instead of being actual
characters with personalities and stories, they become
images that can simply be pasted anywhere.
This is why I dislike the Disney Princess franchise, for example. The characters have become pieces of clipart, devoid of story. It's as if all the Princesses have left their respective Princes and taken on careers as runway models.
I think Mickey suffers from this phenomenon as well. If you go see old Disney cartoons at Videopolis, you'll see Mickey making mischief, wooing Minney, chasing Ghosts, fighting giant bugs... Elsewhere in the parks, you'll see him smile, wave and say "Gosh, gee!" a lot. He doesn't get to
do things, he's just there to introduce shows and pose in photos.
But my point is we're booking a holiday at a Disney Resort, I know the hotels are themed to different parts of America and I like the hotels and always stay with Disney. But people are buying into a Disney experience, and for some families that is about the characters, for others it's about the rides and Jules Verne themeing in Discoveryland, for me it all belongs.
In the parks there's a mixture, Phantom Manor, Pirates (my favourite ride) and Space Mountain don't feature Disney characters, but other rides do like Snow White and Peter Pan. Disney Dreams, which I think is an amazing show full of Disney cartoon characters, so is Fantillusion, Disney Magic on parade and the Tarzan Encounter. Main Street doesn't need characters but at the top of the street there's a fairytale castle based on the classic Disney Cartoon Sleeping Beauty.
So people go to Disney for Disney Entertainment, the rides, the shows and the characters. Then to say that the characters should play no part in the hotels because they cheapen the high quality themeing, I don't agree with that.
Walt Disney was a cartoonist, he created many of these characters and he had more to do with Mickey Mouse and Pluto than TOT. Disney has always been about films, live action, cartoons, cartoon characters, he invented the cartoon character and introduced them into Disneyland in the first place.
i can credit him for inventing the cartoon character, but not for inventing the theme park and roller coaster ride.
And just to add Disney knows what sell, and Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh sell.
I get your point, Ed!!
I have no problems with characters, but during the last twenty years the theming was fine at the hotels and no one complained. And suddenly they start adding characters to all things. When it's done subtle, like on the Cruise Ships, at the DLH or at SL, I don't have a problem with that. Until recently nearly no Disney hotel around the globe featured so many characters.
Of course people want to meet the characters. Honestly I'm not an exception, but you can't tell me that BTM, POTC, SM, PM or TOT aren't 100% Disney, because they don't have a character connection. The same goes for many Disney rides and hotels around the globe. Creating great stories was always Disney's strength and even Walt Disney considered this as the reason for the big success. In my opinion it needs a balance between character based rides and original attractions. That's why I think Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Manor at HKDL don't use characters, because the rest of the park is heavily based on them.
And Disney don't use characters in Buena Vista Street at DCA in Cars Land they do. Walt Disney did create great stories (WDC still does ) but he told his stories on film and in the theme parks and sometimes Disney bring them together. Pirates and Haunted Mansion became films, the Tree House and Buzz Lightyear started of as films and became theme park attractions. The idea for TOT came from 1950s TV show called The Twilight Zone, originally it had nothing to do with Disney but they built a great ride out of it.
And now we are entering again the "What would Walt think zone".
For me Walt isn´t a cartoon guy. It´s getting very clear at the walt disney falmily museum. He was the man behind stories. He developed Disneyland without characters in his mind. He just gave them a home at fantasyland - not at the rest of the park. And he was the man behind the wonderful rides like POTC, the haunted mansion or the tiki room. Just cause he loved to develope a story. All without characters. He even created a big city project never built but named EPCOT. That was Walt for me all the years.
And by the way dagobert is absolutly right. Also the new built disney hotels aren´t character heavy. They are high quality resorts with a incredable deep theme.
So the question is for me: Do the disney characters at NPBC develope the story? And I have to say: No. Even Duffy as character at NPBC would develope it better ;) Let´s pray that they don´t get this idea [-o<
For the disney hotel: It isn´t the lack of a disney character that is the problem. And this isn´t the cause for people not to visit a hotel. They are very well visited. The figures are great.
But the guests aren´t that happy. Why? Not because they have no mickey bed (or duffy wallpaper). It´s more a quality problem. Started by the rooms that have not the quality of normal european hotels (thanks god they renovate them now). But also the kind of breakfast choices or the whole lake area is something that hasn´t the same quality as 20 years before. And that is why people are complaining. Never heard that someone missed a characters wallpaper.
Hotel Santa Fe had always a special problem. The europeans simply didn´t get the design of it. Pueblo isn´t beautiful without sunshine all the time :mrgreen:
But have I said what I like at the room:
The new carpet
The new pillows
The new blankets
The style of the chairs
The idea of suitcase boards (but this variation is to much toon for me)
The bathroom
Quote from: "ed-uk"but this hotel is at a Disney resort so there has to be some compromise between fantasy and reality. I put the emphasis on the name Disney and then it all makes sense.
Slapping Disney characters on a wall doesn't add a fantasy element. The fantasy is that this is a fictional yacht club on a fictional harbour. It's the story of the hotel. It's not a replica of a real place. No one is saying they want to pretend they're in a real New England building; we're saying we want to be immersed in the story that the original architect wanted to tell when he designed the hotel. While the new room set-up is great, it loses some of that setting.
Quote from: "ed-uk"Surely people who book a holiday to DLP are buying a Disney holiday, not a really a holiday in New England. They want the full on Disney experience. Walt Disney after whom the resort is named was a cartoonist.
Walt Disney was also an imagineer and a technology geek. The original five lands of the original Disneyland had nothing to do with characters in his films (except Fantasyland). All of those lands tried to immerse you in a particular place based on somewhere. They try to immerse you by being strongly inspired by the architecture and landscapes of these places. That's also how the hotels work. They are like lands, too. I feel less inclined to say "I'm in New England" when Donald and Goofy are smiling at me through portholes.
As all of us on this side of the debate have said before: the new rooms are great. Just make the character influence more subtle and in a way that compliments the story, and there will be no problem.
Quote from: "dagobert"It amazes me that Disney still uses shower curtains. You hardly find them anymore in hotels these days. I don't like them and honestly nowadays I expect glass instead of curtains in hotels of that category.

Really? That's quite surprising. I've never been to a hotel without them. So they use nothing at all?
Disney know what sells and maybe characters in portholes will help them sell rooms. I like the new rooms and feel the use of characters has been subtle in this case.
Quote from: "Josh"Really? That's quite surprising. I've never been to a hotel without them. So they use nothing at all?
They are using glass walls instead or shower cabins with glass walls. We have mainly been to hotels in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Czech Republic. I don't know what the standard is in France or in the UK, but in Germany or Austria the shower curtains were never that popular. I've never been to a four or five star hotel over here that used shower curtains. Maybe the glass walls are a more regional thing.
The hotels at DLP don't have shower cabins with glass. They have baths with showers in them and shower curtains, they wouldn't add glass to the bath.
I know that. I have been to DLRP several times.
However over here even baths have glass walls. The cover approximately 1/2 of the bath.
In Disney hotels they don't, you can have a shower or bath and not use the shower curtain. I must admit my bath doesn't have a glass wall.
I was talking about hotel baths and not private bathrooms.
So is the exterior getting a refurb too?
Oh, and I forgot to mention this in my other post, I love the (not so) 'hidden Mickey' in the head board!
I've only ever known my house to have a glass bath cover. I just thought they were really unpopular. XD
But I must admit I quite like the pattern on the shower curtain. Was the old one just blank?
Quote from: "Josh"I've only ever known my house to have a glass bath cover. I just thought they were really unpopular. XD

i think it had a lighthouse but I'm not sure.
I think it was the NBC logo
Briefly returning to the decoration and the use of Disney characters in the room, I can understand people wanting to be immersed in the story of the NBC, this fictional yacht club and the Disney imagineering that went behind it, and not simply pretend to be in New England, as Josh wrote. Indeed I enjoy the hotel.
But I also take the view that most people including myself, associate the characters with Disney and that they can also be apart of the story in the Disney hotels. So I don't mind the use of Disney characters in the hotel rooms provided that it is done subtly and in this case and at the Sequoia Lodge I think it has been.
There is obviously a place for Disney characters in a Disney hotel, but the question is where, how and to what degree. There is usually the character buffet (paired with a more adult-oriented table service restaurant without characters) and the children's corner where they play DVDs, and as of late they have begun to include the rooms to this category. Personally, I don't mind. While stark realism works for grand lobbies and hallways, no one wants to sleep in a stuffy, boring Victorian room and wake up looking at a portrait of Queen Victoria, or similar — just as you wouldn't want the realism to continue into Fantasyland's restrooms. ;)
So this seems more than okay to me, and in fact it has made it more likely than ever that I will book a stay at the Newport Bay Club. Now the Santa Fe, on the other hand, that's where they went very wrong.
Are there any pictures of the renivated "bunk bed rooms"? I am curious to see what thes did with those
Maybe Disney retain shower curtains with their baths to give guests in the bath or shower some privacy if another family member needs to use the loo. I know many families are open minded about being naked or using the loo in front of their children, but personally we aren't and I like having the shower curtain instead of just glass.
The original NBC shower curtains have the NBC logo of the lighthouse in red and blue with Newport Bay Club on. You can see photos of the bathrooms with reviews on Trip Advisor.
As far as I am aware no standard or Admirals Floor rooms in NBC have bunk beds - they may have them in the special rooms for disabled people, as they do in Sequoia Lodge.
I also think that Character theming in the hotel rooms should remain subtle. I like the new Sequoia Lodge rooms very much - lovely warm colours with a cosy feel, with Bambi Characters on the wall border.
Isn't it sometimes sad:

They change the floor of the entrance hall to normal home depot tiles...imagineering seems to be completly out of the late 19th century New England theme.
well...some will say it's practical...but practical seems to be the new word for theming nowadays...
Does anyone know if the refurbished rooms do have double beds?
With 2 kids (12 and 10 - boy and girl) that rightly wont share a double bed, were stuck with staying in Cheyenne and Id much sooner stay somewhere nicer, ideally NBC.
We have just booked a standard room and been told that there will be 2 double beds. x
Yes, they have double beds! Take a full photo & video tour:
A tour of the redesigned Hotel Newport Bay Club Standard Rooms at Disneyland Paris (http://disneylandparistreasures.com/photo-tour/newport-bay-club-new-room-design/)
Any idea when the refurbishment will be complete and what is the breakfast like in nbc? Also we have booked for this August 23-26 does any one no if all the rooms will be refurbished by then..many thanks..
User BAE-146 at the Disney Central Plaza Forums has some great pictures to share!

A few days ago scaffolding was still on the right side exterior of the hotel (when standing in front of it at the lake).
The refurbishment is extending to the convention centre and car entrance.
